Still, the worst Oscar best picture winner I've ever seen along with Crash.
C'mon
whats worse is one of the films it beat was Saving Private Ryan.

That was an ok movie in a vacuum, Crash and Chariots are bad movies.

The Brits hate patriotic shit...
The thing I love about the Brits is their hatred of patriotic shit, and their dry humour.
Until... wait, no... it's absolute complete bollocks.
The Brits fucking LOVE their patriotic shit, see every deluded "this is our World Cup", Jubilee, and Brexit.
And every week at work a Brit feels compelled to explain to me "sorry, that was my dry humour", to which I have to diplomatically respond with "Yes, I know, I was responding in kind...". Actual dry humour flies over their head every fucking time.
Edit: Present company excluded... of course. -
You've clearly never seen a Ken Loach film.

I've seen clips of Benny Hill & Bruce Forsyth - was he similar?

Imagine 90 minutes of deep intellectual discussion on how everything British is shit, corrupt, racist, xenophobic and full of hate - except for this one bloke who'd had enough of living in a matchbox on the side of M1 but was killed by a right-wing thug.
Even more unwatchable than The Boys in the Boat....

@Victor-Meldrew doesn't sound like dry humour... but maybe over my poor colonial head?
Currently watching True Detective: Insomnia... that's dark enough for me this week. -

Dune Part 2 had plenty happening and there will need to be a Part 3. Definitely better than Part 1.
Amaaaazing movie, the sound..the fucking sound. Even re watching Part 1 its unbelievable. Your seat at times vibrated it was that intense.
They deviated from the book a bit but thats to be expected.
has to be seen on the biggest screen you can find (i watched on a V-max screen)
Some stunningly filmed sequences, the nearly 3 hours just flew by. Will be seeing it again for sure -

Great feedback on Dune. Will go and see it with the girl on Sundee night I think.
Movie series NEVER stop at two so a trilogy was always a given.
Dune Parts 1 and 2 complete the first book.
Theres still several more books in the saga to go. Though i doubt they will all make it to the big screen
They get very weird..
Sounds like Denis Villeneuve does plan to make at least 1 more movie but has talked about that been several years down the track. -

i did, having watched Part 1 several times at home it was great to see and hear it on the big screen
feeling a bit tired this morning given Part 2 didnt finish till nearly midnight.Yep there was a 15mm 'Intermission'/innings break between the 2 films.

Next Goal Wins. "Documentary" based on the true story of Thomas Rongen coaching the American Samoa Football team. Written and directed by Taika Waititi with Michael Fassbender as Rongen.
One of the funniest films I've seen - bloody brilliant. Fantastic comedy performance by Fassbender playing it absolutely straight.
5 Maradonna Hands-of-God out of 5 Fred Dagg place-kicks.
