The reactions seem to be as reasonable and balanced as you would expect from social media. The cat lovers are calling her a psychopath and those are the mild responses. But I am allergic to cats, so I'm automatically on team doggy.

Publicist: "Okay Jesse, that Oscar is yours to lose. Just don't say anything weird in the next few weeks, especially about pets."
Buckley: "You got it."

I just read that the lead character has now become a stand-in for Ghislaine Maxwell. So I think that I'll push it down my list and catch up with Poirot on Netflix instead.

Of course. Form the directors who actively despise cinema and who thrill at the idea of A.I. slop.

I must rewatch it at some stage. I just didn't buy the ending of him been a changed man when he sees his baby. Josh Safdie said that it meant that Marty was now going to be a family man. I think that he would have walked out on them both after a few months. Maybe I'm just dead inside. πŸ˜„

I liked a lot about it. The rich production values and a cast full of interesting and real faces. But Marty himself was still a tripping point for me.

Marty Supreme is a film about American hustle and would be disruption. It's made with impressive flair but it can't overcome the problem that it's driven hustler is fundamentally an unsympathetic arsehole.

#nowwatching Marty Supreme. I must confess that the whole ping pong of it all made me longfinger this one. But it's quite good.

Late notice but I have 1 ticket to the surprise film at the Dublin Film Festival at 17:30 today in the Light House Cinema. I'd prefer to sell it and get my €14 back but I'd consider giving it away as it's so late in the day.

Maybe you should start with Season 3 for the craic. Every episode was directed by Lynch, so that's nice.

Lord of Illusions is well worth digging up. Clive Barker was a unique and original horror director. #lastfourwatched

I highly, highly recommwnd treating your library like a video rental place from days of yore*. Popping in and nabbing a new release banger for the weekend. There's nothing like it.

But make it part of a multi-movie Jack Nicholson biopic. I've never seen Head but I do find it amusing that Nicholson co-wrote and produced it. What a dude.

It's definitely worth bumping up your list.

The trailer suggests that Mars nationalism is kicking in. Which could make this show a prequel to The Expanse.

Eva Green just can't stay away from us. She's filmed more tv shows and movies here then many Irish actors.

The only thing that could improve this pitch would be "vs. Lego Batman".

Maybe an urban fox crossed with a werewolf? London's bins wouldn't stand a chance.

It's coming to Netflix in March which should hopefully boost it.

Les Dennis could be Nix in a version of this set in Blackpool. Maybe it's time for a reboot?

It's a fun horror, perfect Bootleg material Paul. It's a shame that Barker didn't direct more.

Thanks to @mcclean.ie for a fun pick. We really need more noir-horror movies with a killer cult. Thanks to all you regulars for joining in and goodnight. #Bootlegfriday

He's been burned in the earth's core. Now that's a proper villian death. #Bootlegfriday

Hardly tweeting to this one because I’ve spent most of the evening using all of my brain power trying to follow it. It’s a bit like the Prestige, if Nolan had $300k to make it, and it was written by Larry Cohen… But good
