I thought Nic Cage was great in Mandy. Is Pig worth watching then?

Nic Cage is a fucking legend. Even if it’s shit I’ll watch anything that he’s in. b-movie master.

Yeah it’s a really good film and he’s brilliant in it - he hits absolutely the right tone for the film.

I’m a big Cage fan. I’m absolutely aware he has done some utter shite but I’m fascinated by his approach to acting.

Red Rock West is also worth checking out, it’s a 90s/ modern take on a film noir thriller with Dennis Hopper, JT Walsh and Lara Flynn Boyle.

Joe was pretty good too.

I might go see Prisoners of the Ghostland next week. There’s not many actors that would have that and Pig out in the same month…

Color from space made me have a bit of a sweaty, had to go and splash water on my face. Might have been the burrito I had before though.

Watched it last night, really enjoyed spotting the references & nods to the characters when older but should’ve been a mini series, not sure why it needed to be a cinema release

Empire gave it 5 stars and Kermode said it was one of his films of the year. I haven’t seen it yet but can see why it might split opinion

Would have liked to have seen more Frank Lucas in it plus the riots / army narrative wasn’t really explored in much detail - assume there may be sequels at some point?

I watched it via streaming a couple of weeks ago. Loved it and will go see again at the cinema.

I can see how it splits opinion though, it’s quite a trip and definitely fucks around with narrative, pacing and character development. It seems like the film has been written partly to subvert what we’d expect of a traditional heroic/chivalric tale. Sorta sets you up for one thing and then delivers another.
