A ★★★★ review of Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005) Very enjoyable Shane Black romp, in which his wit and irreverence work well with the self-referential jokes and general comedic tone. I think this and Long Kiss Goodnight might be his best scripts. An...

Our second Christmas movie to be picked from the pot was Shane Black's Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, which is about as festive as a piña colada covered in tinsel

It's a cracker

Presumably you've already seen Bone Tomahawk?

Without knowledge of this DVD technology, many of the youngs feel their only option is to fly to Vang Vieng in Laos, where the bars all play Friends all day, every day, and red-eyed tourists order from the 'happy' menu, starkly without glee. No one laughs. They just stare in muted wonder.

Philip K Dick movies all have names like CORTICAL IMPASSE and are based on short stories called like "Let's See What's Going On Down at the Brain Factory"

Was reminded of my very favorite tweet of all time today:

And now for some of my very favourite Smol Paul moments in no particular order, starting with the first ever yeet

That's the spirit!

I cannot stand [football team]'s insufferable fans, always hoping their team will win. So deluded!

If a British person responds to your opinion with a jaunty 'Fair enough!' then the conversation is over and they think you're a prick.

Ha! Oh right. Maybe I won't give it a nudge then!

Wow, that's a really elegant string of pearls configuration

Maybe I'll give that one a nudge – never seen it! (It doesn't have a tremendous Rotten Tomatoes score…)

That was amazing – I love that unprompted menace at the end

The only use of generative AI I’ll allow is this guy’s videos, where he’s having trouble directing “actors” to stop being weird. (They’re better on IG but that platform doesn’t want you sharing links outside of the app)

Just noticed that Channel 4 has Anna and the Apocalypse available for free. It's the Scottish Christmas zombie musical comedy you didn't know you needed. It's seriously fun.

A ★★★★½ review of It's a Wonderful Life (1946) Scandalously, this is the first time I've seen this movie, I'd only seen brief clips, or black-and-white stills. It looked stuffy and melancholic, if I'm honest. I was not prepared for how much pep th...

By some Christmas miracle, the first film we picked out was 1946 classic It's A Wonderful Life – which I had shamefully never seen…

Absolutely delighted with how much this film influenced Back To The Future II

If you want some good news this morning, I showed my three boys the PM doing the six/seven thing and now they have all stopped doing it.

How's that back heel through-ball on the edge of the box for composure? #COYS!

Great analysis! I recall really enjoying that movie, but I'd forgotten how good the step-changes were. First viewing is a real rollercoaster. And AJ's character is acutely irredeemable.
