Where the hell is 12 Rounds 3: Lockdown? You can be bothered with two dinosaur movies but not see a film starring Dean Ambrose? What kind of wrestling fan are you? SHAME!

 

[Uncle Sam]

I'm not particularly interested in wrestling featuring Dean Ambrose, never mind films.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I'm thinking The Witch will probably be my favourite movie this year. Such is the fervency of my interest, I've not watched any of the trailers and don't plan to. I just really like the premise.

I'm also really into the poster for Ben Wheatley's new film:

 

[Uncle Sam]

Oh, and a Charlie Kaufman film that's entirely stop motion. Look at me, getting all in a fervour.

But, you know, in March because fuck us.

 

[JGlass]

Still haven't seen Anomolisa, might not until it's out of theaters. I'm planning to see Hail Caesar next weekend, very excited about that.

 

[Uncle Sam]

That's not out in March - it's out in nearly March. What luxury.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

High Rise is one of my favourite books.

There's nothing else to this story.

 

[Uncle Sam]

1. Creed ★★★★
2. The Revenant ★★★★
3. The Hateful Eight ★★★★
4. The Big Short ★★★
5. The Assassin ★

It gave the girlfriend motion sickness. I'd be going to see Spotlight tonight but I need a break from white men in suits.

 

[JGlass]

1. Creed ★★★★
2. The Revenant ★★★★
3. The Hateful Eight ★★★★
4. The Big Short ★★★
5. The Assassin ★

It gave the girlfriend motion sickness. I'd be going to see Spotlight tonight but I need a break from white men in suits.

Don't worry, there aren't many suit wearers in Spotlight. Lot of white people though.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

Room gets a ★★★★★ from me. I must be going soft. I had to go the toilet three times during The Big Short. I might have missed something but I didn't care. ★★★.

 

[Uncle Sam]

Y 2 Jake, recession proof.

Fuck if I know anywhere that's showing Room. It'll be on Netflix by the end of the year.

 

[Uncle Sam]

1. Creed ★★★★
2. The Revenant ★★★★
3. The Hateful Eight ★★★★
4. Spotlight ★★★★
5. The Big Short ★★★
6. The Assassin ★

Spotlight reminded be a little too vividly of my job at times. Those last ten minutes though. Phwoar.

 

[Y 2 Jake]

I recommend Brooklyn ★★★★. I recommend Ride Long 2 if cleavage is enough to lift a 1 ★ film into a two. Just like me ★★.

 

[Lee]

Have you seen Deadpool? Is Ryan Reynolds convincing as Michael Barrymore?

 

[Y 2 Jake]

There's a lot wrong with Deadpool. But it is just really quite entertaining.

 

[Uncle Sam]

1. Creed ★★★★
2. The Revenant ★★★★
3. The Hateful Eight ★★★★
4. Spotlight ★★★★
5. The Big Short ★★★
6. Goosebumps ★★
7. The Assassin ★

The most I've ever enjoyed a two star film. There's a cracking pedophile joke and a nice homage to A Nightmare on Elm Street but, considering I was the only one in the room over the age of ten, I was probably the only person in the cinema who got them.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Is there any good reason that Kofi Kingston shouldn't

1. Win MITB

2. Become a top 5 heel

3. Have a short summertime title run

Reposting in a place I know you and Coco will see it and bask in it

 

[Uncle Sam]

You say this in the full knowledge that I've been a Big E fan since I saw him win the title in my first episode of NXT.

 

[Uncle Sam]

This, however, is assuming the New Day can't simply invoke the Freebird rule with the WWE title.

 

[Mighty NorCal]

Kofi has been there much longer, and is the most adept of the three in every phase.


Lifetime achievement award if you will.

 

[Uncle Sam]

I'm not anti-Kofi, I'm just pro-Big E.

While we're on it: a top five heel in WWE is something Kofi probably already is if we're kidding ourselves and pretending New Day are heels. Who's the competition - Triple H and...?
