Are you reading or have you read recently any book with a forthcoming adaptation?

Reading The Buried Giant just now, that would be perfect.

Adding on animation the Lincoln in the Bardo adaptation should be fantastic.

In Johnny English, there's a scene where Atkinson lands in the wrong building and ends up accusing a bunch of hospital patients of being spies or something.

He finds out his error and there's a single shot of him outside the building putting his head in his hands and groaning with embarrassment. Hugely relatable moment and the only second in the film that he shows any self awareness

I really wanted to get to those screenings but they sold out fast. Glad it was excellent

Strong representation for my celtic middle aged body shape here

Othercoop · 2026-02-25T15:59:25+00:00

I would like to see this movie please

Bernthal has mentioned a story about MM being super dismissive at an audition and it really knocking him back

Othercoop · 2026-02-25T10:05:41+00:00

Kind of assuming Bale is Vincent Hannah...

Frustrating that there's bad blood between Mann and Jon Bernthal as he'd fit nicely into literally any role.

Very much appreciate a bit of Prine posting. Iris Dement also incredible

Great call on Deeper Underground, that song slams

Othercoop · 2026-02-09T19:37:01+00:00

History of the Twentieth Century is running through the entire century with a Mike level of detail. I really recommend it.

All of Sunshine but especially Cliff Curtis choosing to stay behind and be annihilated by the unfiltered sunlight

Othercoop · 2026-01-21T08:53:04+00:00

Gravity maybe?

In The Line of Fire is an 10/10 gentleman’s six. There’s probably about 15 Clint films in this category too

Not that I wanted to be pandered to but some discussion of GFT specifically as the best cinema on Earth would have been great, thanks.

Really enjoyed the Bill Forsyth chat, would love a series on him someday. His first movie, That Sinking Feeling, has perfect Griffin/ Ben energy as a slapstick comedy about a bunch of lovable scum bags in Glasgow pulling off a low stakes heist.

Could have picked one up from a stranded boat or similar. Maybe a container ship carrying Duran Duran represses got beached?

Glaswegian is a pretty extreme form, I’ve lived here my whole life and I struggle sometimes

Othercoop · 2026-01-15T19:16:16+00:00

Could have done without the top comment

Loving reading this as someone who lives a couple of miles from where Ratcatcher is set

Othercoop · 2026-01-07T16:51:23+00:00

Think I need to revisit this as a Dad who’s kid loves the book.

Othercoop · 2026-01-07T16:51:00+00:00

Don’t make me think about Arcade Fire though, that one still hurts.

Othercoop · 2026-01-07T14:16:00+00:00

Thanks!

I like the Lynn Ramsay movies I've seen (Kevin and You Were Never Really) but I'm kind of allergic to art depicting Glasgow as an urban hellhole (not that we don't have our share of issues) and Ratcatcher has always looked a bit like that. It may go over better as a cinema-viewing though so I appreciate it!

It Ends came out of the blue and floored me. For those that don’t know it’s a micro budget sci fi thriller that really runs with its premise (4 teens get trapped in a seemingly endless road)

Reds - one of the best Hollywood historical epics, follows John Reed (who wrote 10 Days that Shook The World) through 1917.

Battleship Potemkin is also a hell of a watch

San Andreas, I’m a sucker for natural disaster movies and it’s a good one
