I keep coming in there for film talkā¦
Maybe itās time you got a continually updated wine recommendations thread?
I do drink cheap plonk, every time I visit my parents. Itās fine. I just prefer to pay a few more quid to get something a bit nicer.
Filmsā¦ enjoyed this last night. Better than the new star wars and full of classic war movie cliches

Looking forward to this later. Looks beautiful.
I just was reading through what Iād missed on this thread and I find that meme pretty funny so it was a case of āany excuseā and not a reflection on your overall point at all, sorry if it came across as anything negative. No smarting here Iām afraid.
Totally with you on overpriced wine in restaurants

Personally Iām glad new films are being made in black and white. Tech has been pushed to far.

Iāve not watched 1917 yet but every advert I see for it, actual trailers, is about how they filmed it, not the movie. Itās like letting you see behind the curtain before youāve watched the magic act.
Itās meant to be in one shot, and obviously isnāt, but it doesnāt really affect it. The CGI is so good and itās super smooth. Govan in Glasgow is barely recognisable, for instance.

everyone seemed to hate it but blade runner 2049, and the original would be stoops.

I know, itās just odd that they are showing you people acting to cameras and how they did it, people getting back up after a bomb going off, then expect you to go and become fully immersed in the experience.
Best wine I had was in South of France in a plastic carton, less than a bottle of milk, probably.
Quality vs what you like the taste of is different, so what if you like cheap wine? Thatās fine.
That Barti spiced is amazing, was drinking it over Christmas in Tenby.
Ah, shit. Thatās weak as fuck. Havenāt seen the trailer and didnāt know the story when I watched it. Probably quite lucky. It looks great though, really.

Donāt know if itās just the nerd in me but instead of the one shot thing making me feel more immersed it just had me looking for where they did the cuts.
Also I donāt think Dean-Charles Chapman is very good actor, his accent was awful and I much preferred it when George MacKay took over as the leadā¦
Knowing they were doing this one shot thing, and also that they had this āMake it there in 9 hours!ā thing going on the timing aspect was in the back of my mind for the first half of the film because being one shot it was running in real time, so how were 9 hours going to pass?! And thenā¦ a convenient plot device to show the passing of timeā¦ Could have done without that IMO and should have been āyou have to get there in the next 90 minutes!ā.
What Iād really like to see in something like this is it playing at the same time as the viewer, so 7pm in the film is 7pm for the viewer, so you can check the time and its the time in the filmā¦ would add to the immersive aspect, appreciate this would never happen, but would be cool.
Mildly interesting side story, my mate is a director and used the make up artist for 1917 in his first film, heās now nominated for an Oscar for 1917.

Wow, big up your mate and his nomination.
That nine-hour thing really threw me. Iām pretty shit at following films so I figured Iād missed something, but no, that just didnāt make sense. Even including the bit that you know what Iām talking about.
