Who do you think you are kidding Mini Hitler?

He's Pro Climate Change?

Balan is particularly good at being effective and principled whilst being told it's impossible to be bothered. The jungle looks great, but it lingers on landscape and the people's place within it. Felt oddly Scandinavian in approach

Poster for Sherni

Watching Sherni
Eco proceedural thriller where Vidya Balan plays the new DFO of the jungle ecology service,trying to track and prevent tiger attacks, who's biggest challenges is a weak distracted boss, upcoming elections and a connected big game hunter.Could've been tighter, but a fascinating watch

TJ Maxx / TK Maxx

Ditto

It's like a TJ Maxx / TK Maxx thing for me

Agreed. Especially after getting the Pop World Cup Peace Prize too

I think you might be surprised by the depth and quality on the bench. This was always going to be our hardest game, I may have left some powder on the bench for Turkey and Australia.

The poster for Royal Runaways

Watching Royal Runaways
Ruritania watch: French protectorate of Caminelle (they even argue over why they have to speak English)
The Hallmark Royal film comes with the expectations of maybe something location shooting, an establishing shot of a palace. This is so cheap there's nothing like that

As Paraguay Manager I was contractually obliged to play our star player here, though clearly the USA are panicking with a bit of pre-WWII pastiche from one of last year's biggest movies. It's a big ask but Caton lost at the Oscars so can lose here.
Make Augustin the KPop Demon Hunters of the PWC

They should try the real horror being zombies

I think its precisely the opposite of that, and they only noticed about two issues in

Elsie The Cow

Come for the Little Men, stay for Elsie The Cow

Poster for 1940's Little Men

Watching Little Men
I've not read Alcott's Little Women sequel, but I can't believe that Jo is barely in it (don't be distracted by Kay Francis's billing).
Has an incredible ending where Jo's school needs $5000, so a wanted criminal produces a reward poster for himself for $5000 for Jo to claim

The poster to Midway To Love, where she wears a nice yellow jumper

Watching Midway To Love
She's a TV psychologist whose show is about to be turned into a Jerry Springer style tabloid show
He's her ex and a teacher in Midway, who she clearly should be with and really not much else happens except her deciding not to do the shit job and be with the nice man

Poster for The Land Unknown

Watched The Land Unknown
Standard 'lost world' scenario with two cheap-as-chips solutions to its dinosaurs
a) lizards shot big
b) man-in-suit

Still 50's expeditions always have a competent woman to be fought over when the mastermind is some beardy incel who is lonely and woos by kidnap

She deserves everything that comes to her and it's a relief to the rest of the family that they don't have to put up with her endless saintly pathos any more

This is like being at the cricket

Who plays Prof Quatermass this time?

1934 Little Men

1998 Little Men

It's Sachs Little Men

The Wayans Brothers take of Little Man

Like I said...

There's a surprising number of Little Men out there

The poster for The Man Who Came To Dinner

Watched The Man Who Came To Dinner
Based on a bitchy blockbuster play, this is very stagey and runs a mile a minute, and half of its gags are waspish topical 1941 namedrops. Monty Wooley is a monster of a cultural critic,injured at a dinner, he forces his hosts to house him while ruining their lives

Iirc it got buried on release because of the politics being too on the nose, but you're right it is terrific

My broad understanding is that nobody watched The Likely Lads

Considering the quality of events in general, I'm not expecting anything to be even vaguely good until the top five, so I assume this is pretty much a hazard baked into the project

Also absolutely one to see in the cinema given a chance. The sound mix is incredible and the colours just pop off the screen

Yes, one of my top ten films, and in reality probably both-sides-it far too generously. He captures the heat on screen, there are so many intersectional grievances made clear without didacticism. Lee is, at his heart, rather conservative politically (it's why after this he had to make Malcolm X)

Can't unsee Plug sucking a liquorice stick fashioned into Biffos lederhosen

Who Do You Think You Are Kidding Mini Mussolini? [From August 2006] Despite a brief cameo by Michael Schumacher Car, the filum Cars steers clear of German cars. Oh, there’s a VW campervan, but that is a hippy, with a typical hippy accent (its your g...
