It’d be hard work getting intimate on that bed with Russ staring at you.

Faultless logic from you there.

Watched a couple of movies on a flight the other day
Richard Jewell
Atlanta Olympics bombing, security guard goes from hero to prime suspect
This is one of those stories that's so fucked up it's hard to believe. In fact, even while watching it, you sort of think "okay what am i missing here" and as it turns out, fucking nothing. The press and the FBI did a number on this poor prick because he was fat and weird (it's basically that Simpsons episode). Good flick if not brilliant. Sam Rockwell is good in it, but then, when don't you say that about Sam Rockwell?
Also Olivia Wilde is so fucking hot.
4 shitty media outlets out of 5 I'm law enforcement too you knowsGet Hard
Stupid comedy where Will Ferrell is going to max security prison so enlists the only black person he has ever met, Kevin Hart, to teach him how to survive. Exactly what it says on the box. Absolutely zero surprises here. But i find Kevin Hart really fucking funny so i enjoyed it.
Alison Brie is also pretty hot
2.5 inventive shivs out of 5 wall street are the real gangstersAs an aside, movies that are probably not the best to watch, on your phone on a plane, with your kids sitting next to you
The Wolf of Wall Street?
Funny and entertaining? Yes
Appropriate for a general audience? Not so much -

Richard Jewell
One of the best movies of the last 5 years easy.
I watched The Mighty Quinn (1989) last night. It was shite, apart from M. Emmet Walsh's CIA villain. The movie rested on (the vastly overrated) Denzel Washington's cop character's charm, but all he did was smile like a dickhead and use a horrible Jamaican accent.

The Big Short
A re-watch from me. Brought back vivid memories of a stressful, unbelievable, incredible, but character building, stage of my life. A truly great movie of a truly awful time.
5 Master of Puppets out of 5 Smarmy Salesmen.
Has jumped to be one of my all time favourites. Love it.

4 shitty media outlets out of 5 I'm law enforcement too you knowsThere's also the TV series (Deadly Games S2 following S1 of Unabomber) that is excellent - I will 1-up you with Carla Gugino as Slutty Scruggs.

Now on my watch list.

He's a weird actor for me. Can be awesome in stuff like American Gangster & Glory yet very, very average in other films. Always watchable though (a bit like Eastwood or Hackman) and not a complete prick like some other A-listers.

Awesome film. Has anyone uttered the words "Boom!" better than Steve Carell?

A Call to Spy. Film about the women who ran SOE in WW2 and their exploits - Vera Atkins, Virginia Hall and Noor Khan.
Really good account on how the women led operations and the hard moral choices that needed to be made.
4 Rosa Klebb's out of 5 Miss Moneypenny's

I haven't seen The Mighty Quinn but I rate Denzel as easily one of the best actors out there. I agree with the Hackman comparison but I'm interested to know what films you think he's very very average in (out of interest not for a shitfight).

Gene Hackman has been in some crap though.
Clint has too but his presence elevates the crap to decent.

Haha, I don't share your Clint obsession so tend to think that Hackman's presence can elevate the crap more than Clint's can.

Genes finest cinematic moment was being shot in the face by Clint.

I wouldn't disagree that he's one of the best actors out there - when he's on form he's up with the very, very best.
But as you ask he's pretty average in Virtuoisity & Manchurian Candidate. The Equaliser 1 & 2 are a good watch but it's very average identikit acting and any number of people could have handled that role as well. Man on Fire was a ham-fest of cliched acting

I think Clint did the crap films to finance his great ones.
The Mighty Quinn (1989) ⭐ 6.0 | Action, Crime, Drama
