I did not care for the first Deadpool, I enjoyed the second one with Josh Brolin as Cable, but this one is meh to me. A few nice surprises, but kind of average IMHO

Thanks for this, a good read. His review of Madame Web was also funny.

Cool, I'll have to check that out!

I got the link on Bluesky. Was an unusual experience to see a post about it without the horde of blue tick fanboys and bots abusing the writer for expressing a negative opinion of their dear leader.

I know, it's weird being on BlueSky. I don't know whether to sign up or not. I never had a twitter account and that was fine until Elon happened and shut down access. What an absolute donkey.

Cannot make heads or tails of Mastodon. I have tried.

I was a bit pissed and purchased Infernal Affairs at £13.99 on Apple TV.

Still ace after all these years, I'd forgotten a lot of the twists and turns tbh. Definitely worth the cash outlay but the sequel & prequel are off limits at that price.

Also been watching the fifth & final series of Better Things on the Beeb IPlayer. Outstanding and Celia Imrie steals every scene she's in.

You can rent them on Apple for £3.49 or there's a dvd box set on eBay for about £8.

I dropped Better Things a while ago because it was too stressy, lots of shouting & chaos. I will go back to it at some point.

I had all three DVDs in the Infernal Affairs series but I lent them out to God knows who & never saw them again. The story of my life tbh.............

Better Things series 5 is the only one on the beeb player now, the rest have transferred to Disney unfortunately.

Oh. I have Disney, for the moment.

I never lend things out anymore due to 'incidents' where things were never returned, were accidentally sold on eBay or were returned in terrible condition. Why are people like this ?

That is a Trump-esque pisstake of the highest order.

I saw Gladiator 2, it wasn't bad. I enjoyed it.

My friend took his teenage son to see it at the weekend, they really enjoyed it too.

Indeed. I had some unsavoury words to say.

Seen some decent flicks in the last couple of weeks - Emily the Criminal, All of Us Strangers and Monster by one of my fave directors, Hirokazu Kore-eda.
