Lol, no, I've got loads of two foot-high little stacks of games, films and CDs scattered about everywhere. There is no order. And sometimes after work, my socks get lobbed and find their way into crevices betwixt the stacks of discs.
Relic (2020) - fairly creepy aussie/brit horror about the manifestation of dementia. End sequence was something i'd never seen before was quite impressed overall and the cast is excellent.
Sputnik (2020) - Russian sci-fi set in 1984 about crash cosmonauts brining back an alien. Again not at all bad, typical soviet political tropes we are used to seeing recently.
Mulan (2020) - got about 45 mins in and turned it off highly boring.
After a steady diet of Fincher and Nolan epics I watched Detour (1945) last night which weighed in at a super lean 69 minutes. It's mainly all told in flashback from a roadside diner, all laced with juicy narration and atmosphere. It's a pretty dark noir with a main character hitchhiking across America from east to west to be with his true love and battling with fate along the way, not to mention a proper rotter of a femme fatal. This was a rare blind-buy to make up the numbers in a Criterion special offer and it turned out to be a really enjoyable watch.

I’ll be trying that, too. I enjoy a good (or even average) film noir. Just to add, it’s available (free) on Amazon Prime.
Nice, thanks for that.
[MENTION=6476]JazzFunk[/MENTION] Performance is an interesting one. Haven't seen it for a long time but it's nowhere near Walkabout or Don't Look Now iirc. Worth a watch though for sure.
Love the latter, seen it loads, all them kitchen sink dramas are brill, and I tend to like languid, broody, talky types of film, anyway, the outlook looks good.
