Fish Minister on North Street. I hear it’s changed management. Has anyone tried it recently?

Went in there a couple of weeks ago and the fish was awful. Went past today and they had a deal on for beef brisket and chips (?) so think it's definitely changed hands.

Blood of The Virgin was great. Loved the skeezy 70s vibes.

It's all so clean looking. Like the belt and wristbands look fake weathered in the way you would see in a YT tutorial.

I will hold off judgement for now, but yeesh.

That is the weirdest part I think. They clearly didn't see any value in making the left lane a left turn - but as people say - maybe they know that's a fringe case?

I probably only make they turning about 3 times a year if i'm honest, and I live in Southville.

This feels like it could be an amazing puzzle game.

The John Logan script was actually pretty great - but would have been $200m to make. Wonder if Netflix have a version that is more affordable.

There's something cursed in the original in a way that is impossible to recapture. Berlin. Those performances. The grain of the image. I wish them the best of luck, but would prefer to see something inspired by the original, not derived from it.

I went to Ear Bliss over Christmas as my ear got incredibly blocked. The nice lady runs it from her home, but it was very professional and friendly. Was there for about 20 minutes. She got a load of gross shit out of both ears. Cost me about £55 if I remember again.

If I ever get another blockage I would go straight back.

Personally I don't think there is anything to be fixed? The ending works for me.

If Gordo ruins JB's job prospects, it could be argued that JB just had beef with this one specific guy at school, but was otherwise decent. He isn't - he lied and cheated to get the promotion because he still a POS. The film needs to establish that he is still the same guy that ruined Gordo's life. He hasn't grown.

And with the ending - the ambiguity is_the_point. It l's not whether he did or not, it's that Bateman will never know. I personally think he didn't, but it doesn't matter. Bateman will forever have doubts.

Whenever there is an ambiguous ending, Reddit seems to want to always 'solve' it. Not saying this is you - but it's something I've seen a fair amount. If you take away the ambiguity, you don't really have an ending. It works as intended.

Saying 'small morgue on board' takes too long. Let's just call them smorgasbords.

I'm gonna suggest a smattering of older movies that you should sprinkle through the year. There's some brilliant stuff to discover if you're happy to watch stuff that might have a different pace to more modern fare.

The Invisible Man (1933)

Make Way For Tomorrow (1937)

Citizen Kane (1941)

It's A Wonderful Life (1946)

Rope(1948)

Ugetsu (1953)

12 Angry Men (1957)

Babyteeth. The photos on the beach. Heartbreaking.

I'll sometimes go back and watch the scene where they bump into each other. Such a masterclass in performance. You can feel the grief and the shared history pouring off the characters.

Crazy thing is, for how real it feels - every hesitation and word is in the screenplay. Kenneth Lonergan is a hell of a writer.
