So, Digger… I don’t think I’ve ever done such a big 180 on a film while still watching it. I went from really not enjoying it to thinking it’s one of the most interesting films I’ve seen in a long time. I can see why it’s divided critics. I’d give it a 4 stars today but if I was to rewatch it I could quite easily give it a 3, or a 5. No major spoiler, but only read if you’ve seen it/have no plans to see it: It’s actually quite a nihilistic film in a way. It’s basically saying we’re fucked either way when it comes to climate change and making art about it is essentially pointless ---

Yeah definitely. There’s a bit of Synecdoche, New York in there as well if you ever saw that. Another adventurous film that critics didn’t go for. IMO this is better than that was. It’s got its flaws, but I’m still thinking about it. I think it’s going to be one of those films that in 10 years everyone reevaluates as being good, actually. ---

I just can’t bring myself to take Tom Cruise seriously in these kinds of roles. Not sure how to explain it but it always feels like he’s got a point to prove. Like the acting equivalent of riding a motorbike off a cliff or something. ---

I think that’s the exact problem with the marketing of this film. Significant spoiler: The Cruise you see in the trailer isn’t actually the Cruise in the film. There’s a HUGE twist, which made me sit up in my chair, but it obviously can’t be revealed in the marketing. But the problem is if you don’t like Cruise playing this sort of cartoon character, that’s really going to be off putting to audiences. ---

RE: Digger - I went a few weeks ago to see it. I’m glad I have and I enjoyed it. It’s flawed but it’s really worth a watch - but I never need to watch it again now. Deffo Dr. Strangelove insiration, as mentioned. I watched The Incomer last night. Lotta fun. Coulda probably been a super deep film but it gets a couple of messages across whilst retaining a light air to it. Worth a go for sure - and it’s only 1h42mins.

Went to The Watershed last night to watch The Devils. I loved it. Wild, beautiful, disgusting and poignant. The camera work was amazing for its time, and the set/costume/art design is absolutely mind blowing. I’ll need to go back and see the original now, as I need to see how they told the story when it was released. According to a friend of mine a hell (pun intended) of a lot of the scenes were cut due to censorship. My only criticism would be the passing of time. It wasn’t very clear at all how much time had passed between certain scenes… and then all of a sudden there’s a baby at the end indicating that there’s been around a year between major beats in the film. Minor gripe for an otherwise great film. ---

Tangent but I bet there isn’t anything as funny as this in Digger [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/oDAdJ4plSyc/hqdefault.jpg "The strange thing is, they make such bloody good cameras") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDAdJ4plSyc) Ok borderline dodgy but the whole film is a very dark joke to begin with, to state the obvious ---

Anyone else watched this? > **[Storyville - The Gullspång Miracle: A Nordic Mystery](https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m001zhyk/storyville-the-gullspang-miracle-a-nordic-mystery)** > > A Storyville documentary that takes the audience on a wild ride of unbelievable twists and turns. What begins as an eerie story of family reunification sees three women's lives spiral out of control. Fun but confounding documentary into Norwegian siblings who find a sister they didn’t know about. ---

Let the kids watch Kung fu hustle last night. First few moments I regretted it as it was way more violent than I remembered but then the sillyness kicked in and all was ok. Great film really. ---
