NEXT movie I'll watch: The King.

Coming up on Netflix next Friday.

Prince Hal is a fascinating, complex character. Hopefully director Michôd and lead Timothée Chalamet will be up to the task.

[Matisse] was interested neither in fending off opposition,
nor in competing for the favor of wayward friends.
His only competition was with himself. — Françoise Gilot

All Scottish cooking is based on a dare.

ETA Google gives a more polished, less Scottish version
"He was a very valiant man who first adventured on eating of oysters"

I saw canned haggis for sale the other day. I kid you not.

I have ridden in, and steered, the African Queen. It's on Key Largo.

The leeches were awful.

Downton Abbey
This is really outstanding, 10/10. Certain to outrage some of our resident scolds too, which is a plus.

The Shallows





This is obviously a Jaws type film for those who like that genre. However, what impressed me most was the cinematography. There are some really wonderful water shots and water is difficult to photograph.

For some reason I don't really like that film. The jokes feel forced and I think Bogart has had other roles that would have been much more deserving of Oscar (Rick and Dobbs, I'm looking at you!).

Dobbs especially, or Sam Spade. He's great in In A Lonely Place. But the oscars were always studio puffery.
