- I remember seeing the 90s Mario movie once as a kid, and liking it... it's weird, immersive and coherent. As I was one of those few 90s British kids who didn't have a games console growing up, the fact it was nothing like the games didn't bother me.
- I don't like The Vicar Of Dibley or most things written by Richard Curtis...
- Goodfellas is... fine, but there is this weird cult around mob movies. I mean, I like the first two Godfather films, I gave them an 8/10 and 9/10 respectively, but the widespread idea that these are some of the greatest films of all time is bizarre to me. It seems to be mainly driven by men who hero-worship gangsters and want to live vicariously through the films. Same goes for the Peaky Blinders fandom.
- I liked Andor. I wasn't convinced by the first 5 episodes but the rest was superb. I'd rank it with DS9 and The OA in my favourite 3 sci-fi series. The writing is more realistic and less reliant on shocks and twists than the 2000s BSG.
I thought What We Do in the Shadows was so much better as a show. The movie feels super slow by comparison. Maybe that’s just my internet-shriveled attention span talking though.
Add Andor to your list if it’s not on there. An amazing show and not very Star Wars-y if that’s not your thing.
- I loved The Whale.
