Stranger Things 2 coming in October.

It was decent, but not the best show of all time as a lot of people were making out.

New Doctor Who has t***.

And...

Going to the IMAX to watch the new Dunkirk film later. Looks decent.

Gonna do that Wednesday, supposed to be Nolan's best

Saw Baby Driver last week, very impressed. Genuinely unique style and concept, had to go into chaos in the back third which I liked less than the rest but still well worth seeing on the big screen.
The soundtrack

Seen quite a few interviews with Kevin Spacey, was quite interesting the way the movie was made. The soundtrack came first and everything was built around that (from their movements, the pace they spoke at etc. to the action), usually scenes are filmed and then music is put over.

Yeah the ideas for songs and scenes has been kicking around Edgar Wright's head for years.
Infact he used one for a music video five years ago

Well Dunkirk was excellent. It's not often at all that I've been to the cinema and there has been almost total silence throughout. The script, acting, filming and music all worked perfectly, really poignant film.

Left me cold that film. Wasn't bad and acting was good, just never got the fuss

Finished watching Billions S2 last night, really enjoyed it.

Finally getting round to watching Band of Brothers

Blimey, think I watched that about 10 years ago! Was decent. Wouldn't mind watching it again.

I never got around to watching The Pacific though.

I'm on a bit of a WWII thing after watching Dunkirk, might have to give The Pacific a go as well.

Pacific had some good parts, but was a less coherent narrative, without a core group of people to follow. Nature of the different style of conflict I guess.

Rewatched BoB on Blue Ray recently, despite the age it still looks so good. There's abundance of physical effects over CGI where possible and that ages it less. It's also a game now of 'hey that's X from Y' since so many actors careers went up* after that.

Mate do it! Treat yourself! Honestly you'll be wondering why it took you so long!

Just watched Their Finest. Good film. On Why Me? now which seems pretty funny so far

Just watched Swiss Army Man, some funny bits but pretty random.
