Many people believe that After The Odyssey's Huge success, Christopher Nolan should make a proper terrorising Horror Film, and people are hoping, he should seriously consider making an Adaptation of “Dante's Inferno”

... Should he?

I organized an AMA/Q&A with actress Jodie Comer. You may know her from fantastic roles in things like Killing Eve, The Last Duel, 28 Years Later, The Bikeriders, Free Guy.

Thank you :)

Her newest film, The Death of Robin Hood, is out in UK theaters on September 2. It co-stars Hugh Jackman and is directed by Michael Sarnoski (Pig).

In my opinion, it’s a bad movie that relies solely on sexual scenes. I have no idea how a big star like Keanu accepted bein part of it!

What do you think about this movie?

Their is something about watching this movie at 12 AM. The Aesthetics, the songs, the whole dad scene, the ending.

I mean that can be said about all wong kar wai movies but Fallen angels is my fav.

Most film friends around me have Chungking Express or In the mood for love as their favourite.

I cant be the only one as Fallen angels as the favourite.

When I was watching this movie for the First time, I almost closed my eyes for 30-minutes. Those early mummy scenes just like real horror movie.

What was your first watch experience like?

I organized an AMA/Q&A with director and screenwriter Michael Sarnoski. He wrote and directed Pig (starring Nicolas Cage), A Quiet Place: Day One, and most recently The Death of Robin Hood (starring Hugh Jackman and Jodie Comer, out in UK theaters this week).

Over the weekend, I watched this movie and ended up sobbing for at least 45 minutes, basically from when the final act began until the credits rolled.

I cried my heart, my liver and my lungs out. I genuinely don't know what it was about this film that hit me so damn hard, but it went deep. And I think being from Northeast India, particularly being Manipuri, had something to do with it.

Obviously, Thai and Manipuri cultures aren't the same, but there were these little cultural nuances around family, food, elders, obligations, affection, guilt and the complicated ways we show love without actually saying "I love you" that felt strangely familiar. There were moments where I wasn't just watching a Thai family. I was seeing little pieces of my own.

And man, oh man... if you're craving a genuinely heartfelt movie, watch this.

It's not trying too hard to manipulate your emotions. It just quietly gets under your skin, sits there, and then absolutely wrecks you when you're least prepared for it.

I finished it and just sat there for a while.

5/5 on Letterboxd. Haven't given a film that rating in a long, long time.

Also, whoever recommended this to me: I hate you. Thank you. 😭

Honestly I’ll cheat and I’ll say the back to the future franchise instead just one of the movies. Genuinely my favourite franchise and I grew up watching those movies, the story is so insane and I love how one leads into another and sometimes overlaps, the visuals are so beautiful and it’s a peak childhood movies all around to be honest.

I have a question:

What made a good woman like Claire (volunteer at the Boys & Girls Club, community garden, teaching) become an ally to a bank robber and criminal like Doug and eventually help him escape?

What made her forgive him and help him escape justice after she was devastated and destroyed after learning his truth and what he did to her?

Wasn't she going to hand him over to the FBI, and then backed out?

For me, his role in Primal Fear is insane, especially considering he had no prior experience and still earned an Oscar nomination.

Answers to some FAQs before we even start:

1 - Yes, I have Letterboxd. Link in bio. But I’ve been keeping this pen & paper log since 1999, 12 years before LB first launched. I like the tactility of it. Plus, you never know when a server might get nuked.

2 - What I do for a living is not a factor. I work a regular 40 hour week. I *do* work from home, but that isn’t a factor in the number of films I watch, as I never watch movies when I’m on the clock (but the lack of commute means I *can* have a movie going within 1 minute of logging out for the day, so I guess there is that).

3 - Yes, I’m on the spectrum. OCD, ADHD and Autism. Official diagnosis of the first two, on a wait list for the latter.

So, with those out of the way…

Today marks two full years of watching at least one film every single day with no missed days. The last day I *didnt* watch a film was August 31st 2024.

And I figured that was a personal achievement worth celebrating, so I’m spamming multiple film-related subreddits with this post.

This is the longest I’ve ever gone without missing a single day.

My previous record was 590 days, between 30th July 2022 and 10th March 2024, where I managed 1,159 films across those 590 days.

But then real life got in the way and I was unable to watch a film on 11th March 2024, so I had to start again from zero on 12th March. Then I had a couple of false starts with two more missed days within the subsequent few months (3rd May 2024 and 31st August 2024), so I’ve actually only missed 3 days out of the last 1494, with 2592 films watched across those 1494 days. Or, to put it another way, 3 missed days in 4+ years.

I have no idea if this information will be of any interest to anyone other than myself, but I thought it was worth sharing here, in case anyone else might care.

I’ve shared similar stuff from my obsessive film consumption records in the past and mostly been met with positive engagement. There’s always a few “touch grass, bro” type comments (seemingly lacking the self awareness that they are on Reddit and contributing nothing other than hating for the sake of hating, but what can you do?) and I’m sure there will be this time too.

Anyway, thanks for reading if you got this far. I hope you found this interesting or maybe even inspiring if you’re a like-minded person that just loves film.

I organized an AMA/Q&A with actor Andrew Scott. He is known for countless memorable roles in films, TV, and on the stage, including: WAKE UP DEAD MAN, FLEABAG, RIPLEY, ALL OF US STRANGERS, SPECTRE, DENIAL, 1917, and BLUE MOON.

His new film, a WW2 drama based on a true story, Pressure, was out in US theaters earlier this year and is hitting UK cinemas next week. It also stars Brandon Fraser, Kerry Condon, Damian Lewis, and Chris Messina.

Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYa8N3R2cZw

Synopsis: The fate of the free world hangs in the balance as Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower and Capt. James Stagg face an impossible choice -- launch the D-Day invasion or risk losing World War II altogether.

Watched Ben Hur for the first time ever this summer. Was bored and wanting to check it off my watchlist.

Instant masterpiece viewing and entered top 10. Might be the greatest movie of all time, tbh. I didn't even remember it held the Oscar win record while I was watching, but in hindsight, it made sense.

It had everything- writing, acting, cinematography, score, directing, and just totally an epic experience on all levels. Loved it and immediately watched it again and a third time already.

I was born in 1966, which was a very good year for cinema. These are my Top 20 films for 1966. Feel free to contribute your own birth year top list; top 5, top 10, whatever. Might cross post to other subreddits in case this looks familiar.
