"Gangs of New York" is great. I see it get a fair amount of hate compared to the rest of Scorsese's but I love how operatic it is.

F1 isn't doing anything new story wise but the action and cinematography is awesome. Really fun movie, see it on the biggest screen possible.

In terms of similar films, I rate it below Ford v Ferrari and Top gun 2, but I hold those in high regard

I’d put Wet Hot American Summer as the number 1 comedy this century.

Even if you don't like it, it's a totally worthwhile movie on DDL's performance alone. I kind of can't tolerate Diaz in it but do enjoy the movie.

28 years later is absolute codswallop. Very different movie to how they sold it in the trailers.

I loved it and thought it may be the best of the three. It takes a bit of a surprising turn, but I'd say the first does as well.

I enjoyed season 4 of The Bear. Seasons 1 and 2 were great and set a high bar. Many if you will dismiss 3 and 4 because they weren't as good. 3 and 4 stretched things out to be sure but there are a lot of characters and it gave them space to dig into them. So yes 3 and 4 were not as good as 1 and 2 but on their own I thought they were good. Very good cast with some great performances. As for whether this season is the last:

It drives me nuts that nobody ever talks about the stupendous problems the original's third act has. I love that movie and everything after Gleeson dies is mediocre.

When I did a rewatch before seeing the latest I had completely forgotten about that third act entirely. Eccleston does a good job, but yeah it's definitely not as strong as the first two thirds.

Outside of the Wedding, super didn’t like this season of the Bear. Particularly didn’t like the finale and where it ends up. I think I’m just over everyone’s BS, and Store for having two hundred music drops in three or so hours of TV.

Definitely not better than season one or two but a step up from the third season. Think my favourite parts were anytime we got to chill with Marcus and Luca in the kitchen.

"We have to fill 7 hours of tv"

"We have 3 or so hours of good stuff."

"Montage?"

"Montage."

Why Not Me by the Judds did make me extremely happy. Where in the hell did that come from.

I stumbled across it rather late, but I've nearly finished watching Patriot on Amazon and I've really enjoyed it. I had no real idea what to expect going into it, it's quite the trip.

Top 10 and maybe top 5 show for me. Funny and unique and melancholy and beautiful. Love love the piping jargon.

Apologies, is codswallop good or bad??
