It's also on Google movies.

A beautiful day in the neighbourhood- it’s one of those films where very little happens but it’s quite sweet.

Scoob - I wasn’t expecting to enjoy this at all but it was a lot of fun.

The King of Staten Island was very good. The part played by Pete Davidson was so like my brother right down to the terrible tattoos.

I finally got to watch this and agree. I’d managed to avoid spoilers all these months too, and was literally on the edge of my sofa at some points!

I watched Hamilton yesterday, which took a bit of getting into (I find most musicals do tbh) but I did enjoy it. LMM is definitely not the strongest performer IMO but I guess he gets to choose his part. :mrgreen: It took me a while to recognise Leslie Odom Jr. from Smash, which I then wanted to watch again (Phillipa Soo was also in it, but I couldn’t place her character name). It’s only available for a fee in Amazon though.

I've become mildly obsessed with Hamilton, I'm blaming cabin fever but I think I've watched it countless times now. My poor children know all the words to the songs, fully against their will.

They’ll live. :mrgreen:

I could probably watch it again, without feeling the need to google various historical figures at the same time.

Me too, I think I watched it the weekend after they put it on Disney+ and bought the soundtrack album the same evening. I thought Leslie Odom was outstanding and I really loved the singing by Renée Elise Goldsberry playing Angelica. Also I am a follower of Station 19 which is the fire station spinoff from Grey’s Anatomy, and the actor playing Mulligan and Madison (Oak Onoadowan) is in it.

LMM was a bit disappointing as a performer in it but as you say Wendy, he gets a bit of a pass for that. I’d love to see a performance sometime with a stronger Hamilton.

I agree about LMM, he's no singer. But to think he wrote all of that is crazy, that is enough talent, I can let him off for his poor singing. But god, the whole show, the choreography, it's stunning. I've become a running joke with the people I live with. Theo will merrily sing HOW DOES A BASTARD! ORPHAN! SON OF A WHORE AND A SCOTSMAN whilst doing his Lego. I love it :))

Well, Tenet is a bit of a mindfuck.

I hated it, I was so disappointed and I'm one of those people who loved Interstella. Also couldn't understand a word anyone was saying. Robert Pattinson was ace, though.

Oh good, I’ve been wanting to watch it. I’ve never seen the animation but I know a few people who say it’s their favourite Disney.

I nearly went to see it last Friday, but my brain was feeling a bit scrambled anyway so I decided to put it off until I was feeling a bit more alert and with it! Sounds like I made the right decision!

So, I did not previously know that John David Washington from Tenet is the son of Denzel!

I just came out of Bill & Ted Face The Music at the cinema. It was very silly, I laughed a lot and Keanu and Alex are still just perfect as B&T. It did get a bit slow at times but it also takes the best bits of the first two films and combines them nicely for the third act. So if you’re a fan you’ll like it.

Now heading back in to see Tenet again
