[PLANE]

PLANE
Monosyllabic, monolithic title. No one's wasting time on fripperies like titles here. No one's fucking around on this one.
There's this plane, see? Gerard Butler flies it. This is a Gerard Butler film—all the way. It has everything you'd want from a Gerard Butler film.

Plane has dangerous tough guy on board. Plane makes forced landing in one of those isolated jungles that's filled with dissidents, separatists, and malcontents with AKs.
Guns go bangeddy-bang. Passengers scream. Everyone sweats like the clappers.
Dangerous tough guy and Gerard Butler make common cause.
Can they rescue everyone, save the day, and escape from the island in the...
...Plane?

This is not some art-house meditation on the nature of loneliness.
This is Plane.
Best film I've seen all damn day.

I drokking loved this. Is it nonsense? Damn straight it is. Does it know it's nonsense? Damn straight it does.
Just like Jason Statham or Jackie Chan movies, this is basically review proof. You can harp all the live long day about silliness and plot holes - But - get this - THAT DOES NOT MATTER.

Looks good, but as with everything at our age...

Colin did a few covers for us. This one is astonishing. Dave had it on his mantlepiece for years before he could return it to Colin. (Yes, Colin sent him the original piece to scan!)



And this Devlin Waugh one:

Annie Wersching, Star Trek: Picard's Borg Queen and The Last of Us' Tess, Dies at 45

Well that's just horrible news. Recently started a Bosch rewatch. Fuck you cancer.

I've never smoked, but when someone I know tries to quit, I always point out that David Bowie said giving up cigarettes was harder than giving up heroin. You got this.

Shoot the antenna! They're useless without their antenna!

I wasn't massively impressed by the first Knives Out but I do respect it, and would be willing to give the second one a chance given its episodic nature apart from its predecessor.

My new years resolution is to not be so tediously contrary.

Yes, it is a rumour, but what a rumour!

Gangaman in the prog. What a time to be alive.

[Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special]

Well, the Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special is sentimental twaddle. But it's also really quite sweet, and very funny. I kind of wish we'd saved it for the festive period, but it's a great way to fill 45 minutes on a cold November (or December) evening.

It was really fun and funny and just... nice. But I think it should have been released on Christmas Day.

GFR are utter bullshit merchants. Don't click on the link.

It really stuck the landing with that last episode. Nice little coda after the credits, too.

It's brilliant

You are correct! It's very impressive.
