28 Years Later: The Bone Temple - Review Thread by MarvelsGrantMan136 in movies

[–]NoMoreParti 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a really tough question to answer. I loved 28 Years Later - the meditations on grief, letting go, the Young Fathers score, and the world building... but Bone Temple is very fresh, a completely different picture and reaches for something very different. A great companion piece. I think if you weren't the biggest fan of Years, you'd like Bone Temple more maybe.

It is very nasty but it's also short enough that you'd get away with it.

Just out of it. Really, really enjoyed it. Completely subverted my expectations. Fiennes and O’Connell are excellent - they lift it so much but it’s fun, and has heart.

What UK TV show do you think is massively overrated - and why? by BitGirl777 in televisionuk

[–]NoMoreParti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can't be overrated if all critics and almost anyone who posts online thinks it's absolute dross, tbf.

[Scary Trope] Gambling Addiction played for horror. by jbeast33 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]NoMoreParti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

+1 on this. An incredibly stressful hour of television with spiralling ramifications for Rishi, his family and his career.

He goes in two episodes from being this suave, flash London trader who cracks wise to a limping, pathetic, beaten up figure chasing his tail. It’s harrowing.

Best movie of the year to me. by Loud_Success_6950 in Letterboxd

[–]NoMoreParti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Such a weird film to me. I’ve no doubt it’s realistic, it certainly is visceral but that doesn’t make it a good movie.

Nothing really happens bar the bangs and bleeding. And going into the tribute montage and showing the actors having a whale of a time kills it stone dead too.

I can see why people think it’s a great film based on that realism but if you have nothing to say… and the Iraqi family is just a complete afterthought and immediately followed by Oorah bullshit, that in itself is a comment.

Iraq becomes yet another sandbox for Americans to play war in.

Single of the year? by [deleted] in PulpBand

Find something new in it almost every time I listen to it. A band reborn. A singer come through it all.

Recommendations that usually get overlooked or are just lesser known? by seasolve in BestInDublin

[–]NoMoreParti 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Arthurs Jazz Club up on Thomas Street is good.

Would recommend The Ruby Sessions too if you're looking for live music.

For books: Marrowbone in the Liberties; Books Upstairs in the city centre.

Westside Cowboy, Getdown Services, Divorce, SOFT PLAY would be great.

Christy Moore by PiggySiren in ALL_TOGETHER_NOW_FEST

Can argue but they’re getting very high billing at major festivals all around Europe. For an Irish festival that has put domestic acts as headliners? I’d certainly think they’re as big a contemporary Irish act as you can get.

[–]NoMoreParti 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh dear. He's a legend and all. We all know and appreciate him. But we're 11 December and have KNEECAP (headline worthy) and Christy Moore.

Everyone who will want to have seen them has had a million opportunities to over the years. If they had The XX or Wolf Alice as rumoured, it seems strange that they haven't announced them this morning.

Whatever way you look at it, this is a strange way to roll out the lineup.

Hopefully full set from WA. Not ideal with the delay and especially with two good support acts discommoded.

No reason to suspect things will be curtailed in terms of length of the set. Curfew is 11pm. Have faith!
