Watched Resolution via Prime.
Low-budget, freaky goings on in a cabin when a man handcuffs his junkie friend to force him to go cold turkey, but sinister forces make them question reality. S'alright.
Halfway through Life (Prime), a star-studded space thriller. 20 minutes in and screaming at these halfwits who apparently never seen Alien, The Thing, Leviathan, Moontrap, The Andromeda Strain, sheesh pretty much any alien film except maybe Mac & Me.
It's actually really tense, but they all deserve whatever grisly fates await them.

On the 63rd anniversary of Oliver Hardy’s death, I thought I’d watch Helpmates, a short from 1932.
The man was a genius. His timing is second to none, and the way he engages the viewer by looking at the camera, sharing his emotions, is a triumph of technique and awareness. It’s been much-imitated for good reason. The little physical flourishes he attaches to even the simplest of actions is unique. The dignity of the character as he sits in the charred ruins of his house at the end, picking droplets of rain off his absurd uniform, is just an absolute joy.
Stan was right. He really was a very, very funny man.

Wonderful. Very funny and full of heart(just like me). Fired up YouTube afterwards and watched a compilation of all the winning songs.
VOLCANO MAAAAAAN.

Darkest Hour
It was ok. An interesting bit of historical drama, with largely good performances. Oldman was unrecognisable, and Stannis Baratheon nicely slimy. Lily James was 40s wadtacular.
I didn’t realised WC was meant to have so much lolbantz. It’s a curious film. Not harrowing enough to be genuinely moving, not exciting enough to be entertaining, yet not dull enough for me to lose interest. At the end, I found myself having enjoyed it, but not bothered if I never saw it again, and of the opinion that it wouldn’t have mattered if I’d never seen it in the first place.

Joker.
I saw this as a cheap cash in when it was first announced and at the time was utterly sick of DC’s nonsense and lack of consistency it its universe.
I was very wrong.
What a fantastic film and an amazing performance by Joaquin Phoenix, not to mention the absolutely stunning photography throughout. Wish id seen it in the cinema to be honest.
