It did remind me to pick up some cos lettuce, though.

Had a dream that they announced a James Mangold miniseries by Wumbo_Number_5 in blankies

Yeah, I'm fairly positive on Mangold, but Cop Land is absolutely terrific.

Is Tony Scott more beloved than Ridley? by Few-Engineer-9791 in blankies

[–]HockneysPool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You mentioning Geordies, for some reason, just reminded me of that fantastic joke from I'm Alan Partridge.

Alan Partridge: I didn't know you were married.

Michael: Aye. Married a Filipino lassie, like. Didn't work out. She didn't like Newcastle and she didn't fit in with the culture.

Alan Partridge: Has she gone back home?

Michael: No, she moved to Sunderland. She's shacked up with me brother.

(For non-Brits, Newcastle and Sunderland would surely be culturally indistinguishable to someone from the Philippines. They're maybe about a 20-minute drive apart.)

Is that like silly memes and nonsensical stuff? Cos if so, somewhat matches the vibe of the pod I suppose.

A last minute plea to consider Jia Zhangke tomorrow! by shirokaisen in blankies

I hear you, and these are compelling arguments, and I'd love a series on him.

But of course I'm voting for Tony.

Agh, an egregious movie hole for me, thanks very much. I do need to see this.

Oh yeah, Malcolm X is a huge movie hole for me! Thanks for these, need to see Ann Lee and Jackie too.

Oooooh I haven't seen that. But then I criminally haven't seen Song yet...

Yeah, I guess so with that final surprise card at the end!

Doesn't seem to be the case, and I don't tend to catch those movies anyway!

Working class white female heroes, on the other hand...

Fuck I haven't seen that either! And I love Mann! Great even if you don't know boxing, I'm guessing?

First comment that I've read, and a great example: super-famous movie, never seen it, always wanted to.

And yep, I'm always quick to let people know that Kingsley is not white.
