You stopped scrolling too soon. The list goes on:

• Cuckoo
• Longlegs
• Oddity

I thought it a biy weird that the main image is from Longlegs but it didn’t make the list.

It’s definitely a good year for horror, we’ve still got left a few contenders:

• Terrifier 3 - which will make most end-of-year lists
• Sleep 2 - which is more popular than I realised, it left me cold
• Nosferatu - I’m not sure what it’ll bring to the table but we’ll see
• Heretic - looks like a good central performance from Hugh Grant
• The Platform 2 - has a lot of promise
• Azrael - never bet against a Samara Weaving horror
• Nightbitch - Amy Adams ending the year for us

Pedantry corner: the product is Kinder Eggs, kinder eggs are something else entirely.

“Don’t let the filth catch you with this up your botty?”

Doesn’t seem appropriate for a kiddie treat but they have to learn the lesson eventually.

Nature red in tooth and claw indeed.

And that pillar did laid down it’s life heroically.

Neither Phillips nor Phoenix was even sure about making a sequel and, for a time, contemplated putting on a Broadway show instead, before ultimately committing to the movie and bringing aboard Gaga in a role inspired by the comic book character Harley Quinn. The idea for the sequel came to Phoenix in a dream, and he and Phillips brought the idea to Emmerich, according to sources.

In the end, some are saying that Joker: Folie à Deux is a very expensive art film. But when asked who the intended audience was, one outside source sums it up this way: “For Joaquin.”

I’d have loved to be a fly on the wall:

I don’t want to make a sequel movie to Joker.

Well wait until you hear this: Joaquin has had a dream…

Oh dear.

And they are going to pay you $20M each!

I’m listening.

I wasn’t sure if this was going to be called off after one competitor killed another on camera.

Pretty much. With the indication from the sniffer dog they have probable cause, so your options boil down to the rough way or the rougher way.

Challenge accepted!

It would explain why all the Elves buggered off - they’d just had enough of our nonsense.

You don’t want to spoil the Surprise.

Talk about a k-hole!

It’s an interesting one - UK newspapers have called thr French 18 classification a “rare ban” despite the fact that all the Terrifier films are an 18 in the UK. Admittedly, not such a rare rating here as in France but I’ve never heard of an 18 certificate here being described as a “ban”.

Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In - dreadful title but cracking kung-fu film that definitely had Kung-fu Hustle vibes. One of my favourite films of the year.

Kalki 2898, A.D. was INSANE, I’m looking forward to the sequel.

I was sitting in the cinema about an hour in thinking “I don’t think this is for me” as there was too much low quality “humour” and ropey CGI, then they started mixing in mythology and ramping it all up so, after it finished, I was messaging people telling them to watch it. Can’t wait for the sequel.

Yeah, that wasn’t a joke inclusion, they’ve been great so far and I’m looking forward to the third. My local multiex is reshowing them (including having a Paddington Day), so I’m hoping to see them on the big screen again.

Not an accountant but I assume they have to pay members of the cast and crew for having it on their streaming service and, potentially license other content (like songs). In the contracts it’ll say they have to pay a lump sum for removing it early and they have figured that this would be the cheaper option.

It was posted here a couple of days ago.

Edit: different issue (that one is from a few months ago). The cancellations and delays are the right move - as I’ve said many times on here, they were generating content not actual producing quality films and TV shows (if some of them were good it was almost by accident) and the same applies to Star Ward too (which has been badly managed) - no-one was curious about what Kenobi did between then PT and OT, they just spotted an opportunity to bung out a few hours of TV.

Does anyone actually watch MCU movies anymore…?

Plenty or the wheels would come off such expensive productions (they have lost a chunk of change from a few recent films but, overall, aren’t suffering). Personally, I’ll go and see every one in the cinema - I’ve liked a lot, disliked a few (The Marvels gets a lot of hate but I rather enjoyed it, which can’t be said for the most recent Ant-Man and Black Panther films).

But politicians in the public forum should be governing public resources/systems.

That’s it really - if the semaglutide injections cost £X but save £1.5X then buy it by the truckload.

This doctor reckons everyone with a BMI over 30 who has tried an failed to lose weight and keep it off should get it. There may also be benefits fir anyone who has had a stroke.
