Your list of No's equals no reason for me to watch it, but I did have a look at the preview. When did you take up acting Ove? :P

Do yourself a favour and watch it: its sense of humanity is gorgeous.

The same writer wrote Anxious People on Netflix; a wonderful 6 part series (nothing to do with mental health) but there is the same sense of humanity that one finds in A Man Called Ove in Anxious People. 6 x 40 min episodes or thereabouts. Both top books.

If it's the one I think, it wasn't bad. I think the early years was more accurate than the latter. Not sure about serial killer but he was definitely on the path to being a gang standover man and thug.

Ole Cus did a great job with him, then Don King and his hangers on milked him for all he was worth once they got their clutches on him.

The Batman, the new one.

Really enjoyed it, particularly the return to type where The Batman doesn't use guns. Also liked how the villains weren't dressed up in costume, reminded me a bit of the TV series Gotham about a young Bruce Wayne.

The only jarring note was the relationship with Alfred in the early stages but overall one of the best incarnations of Batman I've seen.

I know everybody here already thinks I watch weird movies, but this French film I watched last night was on another level entirely!

I feel like the trailer doesn’t even capture half of the WTAFness of the film! It was good though.

That Kate Bush they reference. Is that the 80's singer who's currently No 1 on the charts with a song from the 80's or just a random coincidence?

It is a (pretty random) reference to her, yes! But the timing does seem to be a total coincidence, as the film premiered last year and this resurgence of interest in her seems to be the result of some popular American TV show using her music in an episode a few weeks ago.

Anyway, while we're on the topic, I do love this video clip! They don't make them like this anymore. :lol:

Yeah, apparently it's a key bit of the plot in Stranger Things (which I've never watched)

Personally my favourite of hers was Babooshka. I never wanted to be reincarnated as a double Bass so much.

Venom-let there be carnage.

Not sure why I watched it or what I watched. I'd still prefer it over Davids French Kate Bush horror movie though. :wink:
