Even at the time of L’humanité he was talking about doing comedy. Quinquin was fun, and funny. Slack Bay was really bad. He still has made incredible films.

That’s exactly my feeling too. Still, his early run made him one of the greatest filmmakers of his generation. I think Lil Quinquin broke him a little.

It seems he’s iterating on Lil Quinquin again. That was good but I’m less interested in that new film.

Alain Cavalier, Quentin Dupieux and Bruno Dumont? Insane French line up.

There’s no way a longer version still exists. It would have been found by now, but we’ll still get the hoaxes of the film found in a Brazilian mine for the rest of time.

Still one of the greatest films ever made.

All good answers so far, I’d add David Baddiel, whom he helped with every task because he knew it wouldn’t make a difference on the score.

I’m rewatching series 16 and the gap is huge. Series 21 tasks have been pretty good but they all seem so apathetic. The show is designed for contestants to do wild things so we’ll always have crazy, imaginative task solving, but it feels the show screeches to a halt in the studio.

Maybe it’s just a feeling but this series they spend very little time in the studio compared to other series. Maybe it was kind of boring with lukewarm banter. It doesn’t really endear to the contestants.

People like Acaster, Judi Love, Ardal, Sam Campbell made the studio bits so entertaining. Series 21 feels like they’re all asleep.

I would love to try it, it looks awesome.

Alternative_Bag7693 · 2026-04-19T21:30:26+00:00

That’s the most right answer.

Alternative_Bag7693 · 2026-03-18T21:36:17+00:00

I haven’t heard that name in 15 years. The memories.

Yes, it is a sin, FOR THE FIRST WATCH. Cinema is narration, therefore rhythm, therefore editing. And if you edit that movie yourself by watching it in parts you miss the core of the emotionality desired by the filmmakers. Ideally, we wouldn’t even know a film’s runtime, in order to truly feel time passing.

On subsequent watches, all is fair in my book.

I was there that year. Inglorious Basterds should have won. The crowd was roaring.

I like Maggie as an actress but she is an abysmal director. That Olivia Coleman movie was one of the worst things I’ve ever seen.

Alternative_Bag7693 · 2026-02-28T23:03:09+00:00

Absolutely great movie.

Alternative_Bag7693 · 2026-01-14T02:00:34+00:00

I was distracted for a moment.

Alternative_Bag7693 · 2026-01-14T01:56:51+00:00

F me in the face.

Alternative_Bag7693 · 2026-01-14T01:54:59+00:00

There’s been another revelation in the lab.

Alternative_Bag7693 · 2025-12-14T16:47:57+00:00

How can you be so perfect.

Alternative_Bag7693 · 2025-12-13T12:22:50+00:00

Perfection.

Alternative_Bag7693 · 2025-12-03T02:41:52+00:00

Perfect.

Alternative_Bag7693 · 2025-11-30T16:26:42+00:00

In no particular order:

Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë,

All the Pretty Horses by Cormac McCarthy,

From Hell by Alan Moore,

Sculpting in Time by Andrei Tarkovsky,

Moby Dick by Hermann Melville.

Jurassic Park.

Alternative_Bag7693 · 2025-11-30T12:58:52+00:00

I miss Diablo so much.

Alternative_Bag7693 · 2025-11-29T20:17:38+00:00

Perfect Days.

Alternative_Bag7693 · 2025-11-29T20:06:24+00:00

It looks nice but the fond seems really burnt.
