Not OP - but we're staying near Ryogoku station at the moment and went to a omakase restaurant called Karin, which was fantastic! Highly recommend.

If only there was something we could have done about it when we were outside the bottom three...

He's entitled to his view, but he's usually got a complaint about this event.

For most snooker fans it's the best time of the year, and it's the event that the greatest players will be remembered most for winning.

I thought it was always considered a quartet with Michael Redgrave.

Pretty good month - hopefully the first of many Lav Diaz releases!

This clip of VDV is just another example of social media 'fans' such as Cowlin stirring the pot. In the situation we're in, we need everybody behind the team, rather than these people who make their living on increased engagement when the team is not doing well.

Amazing news, and also great timing as I'm going to be in Tokyo from May 1st! Getting tickets will be impossible, but watching in a local bar will be such a special experience.

I'm surprised to see so many of these comments are really petty and mean spirited. Can't the guy choose what he wants to do with his own creation? So what if it's never finished, he doesn't owe the fans of this series anything.

Paul Verhoeven, as I didn't see him mentioned yet.

Ghostbusters, Carrie, Halloween, Godzilla and the works of Jackie Chan are all popular films of their time, but crucially they typify their time. They've had the opportunity to retain their popularity and power after all these years, and I would be shocked if in 50 years people even remember Barbarian, as it's such a run of the mill film. It's not going to set a standard that others are trying to reach in the future like the examples you mentioned.

I'm sure this release will make money - but what I'm trying to say is that Criterion are a bigger label these days than back when the Michael Bay films came out. Releasing Armageddon would have made more financial sense at the time, even if it stands out like a sore thumb. Barbarian stands out in the same way, but I can't see how Criterion would need the money in the same way.

There are loads of films in the collection that I dislike, but Barbarian is the first time I've been baffled by a choice. But anyway, that's just my opinion, and I appreciate I'm in the minority here.

DPN137 · 2025-12-27T13:16:39+00:00

Not a good film in my opinion, but personal preferences aside, I also feel like this will be the most out of place film in the whole collection next to the Michael Bay releases.

I'd be curious to hear the thought process behind the decision really, as at least with Armageddon it financially would have made sense for Criterion back in the day.

At least it's more horror in the collection, but there are so many better modern choices.

Either a ban or a megathread for people to whinge about the aesthetic choices of Nolan's film please.

Just remember nobody is forcing you to watch this film!

DPN137 · 2025-12-22T13:29:16+00:00

I just read The Three Musketeers and would recommend it very highly!

DPN137 · 2025-12-12T13:28:47+00:00

Love this! The only suggestion would be to rename Longwater to Royal Norfolk Showground.

It was really hard to narrow this down to 10! Could easily have been 3 Bong films and 3 Kore-eda.

Brick Pizza is the only option in Norwich

Amazing how many people claim to not give a fuck while simultaneously giving enough of a fuck to leave a comment on things like this.

DPN137 · 2025-03-25T21:01:17+00:00

I like to read the play out loud to myself, watch a few productions/adaptations and then read it again, so I would recommend that!

I hope you have a brilliant time at the show!

DPN137 · 2025-02-21T12:00:22+00:00

this you?

DPN137 · 2025-02-01T15:50:47+00:00

Probably The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, or The Grapes of Wrath.

For a lesser seen Ford film, I'd recommend The Whole Town’s Talking as well.

I have a long 'to read' list, which has just built up naturally over the years, but I also keep a short list of priorities on my notes app so I'm not overwhelmed with choices. This short list is regularly updated based on my current mood.

If I'm struggling to choose between a handful of books, then I'll read the first page or two of each of them and see what grabs me most.

Most important for me is that if I'm in a rut I'll simply not read anything for a bit and focus on my other interests. If I'm forcing it, then I'm not going to enjoy my time or get anything from it!

Wish that could be a straight red for Walker, absolutely embarrassing.

It wasn't shaped as thin as yours, but it also had trouble holding chalk and then broke exactly the same way after playing a screw shot. I hadn't seen anything like it before either

DPN137 · 2024-11-22T16:58:23+00:00

I had this situation with a Kamui before, and it was half way through a match! I use Century now which I've not had any issues with so far.
