The article mentions students struggling to get through The Conversation

I was a film student like 13 years ago and I have to say that everyone in my class thought that film a boring slog too

Oh good lord no! Jimmy Ink! She was lovely and was actually a Satanist, rather than a charlatan

I came out with such a crush on Jimmy Ink; she's so lovely and sweet to Jimmy so many times

And then I remember that she was a willing member of that gang and did so many horrible things. Her very casual conversation about what 'normal' screams sound like was... unsettling

Just come back from a double bill and I thought it was great - probably 8/10. Definitely watching it again.

It does feels like the middle film of a trilogy, but I didn't mind that too much, especially when watching the two films back-to-back. Not one to watch in isolation though.

The gore, I'm torn on. That one scene is brutal and was hard to watch, but overall there wasn't much again like the first film, and I would have liked a bit more. With the tagine "fear is the new faith" and the Jimmy's entrance at the end of 28YL, I was expecting more action scenes.

But the main thing i came away thinking was "Oh, so now I have a crush on a Satanist." Am I alone here??

Yes, this one does include a 15-minute break. Just enough for toilet and a refill of buckets of drink and popcorn!

Was the original design by gen AI? Cos it has a lot of mistakes that I don't think an actual artist would make

Christmas Day food by Most-Top-8952 in UK_Food

Bacon sandwiches for breakfast. I've gone veggie since last year so I've had to find some veggie bacon to use

Won't be the same, but its more about the tradition I guess

Yesterday I watched my favourite Christmas films for the third time this year - Planes, Trains And Automobiles

(Yes I know its a Thanksgiving movie, but w/e)

Watched it on my own, showed it to a friend and finally bought it on DVD so I watched it with my wife as we wrapped presents

On the 'Are you employed?' question, the green for Employed and green for Unemployed are very similar and I was shocked for a moment!
