Kermode isn't happy unless he's being reduced to tears by a foreign language film about a terminally-ill gender-confused hairdresser in a coming-of-age debut by an auteur who might-just-might be this

I saw There Will Be Blood @ The Royal Festival Hall with Jonny Greenwood and the London Contemorary Orchestra playing the score live.

The film has been in my top 10 for ages but this was something else. Phenomenal.

Speaking of There Will Be Blood. 

Paul Thomas Anderson and Daniel Day Lewis have started shooting their new film.

Don't be so sure - it's had great reviews! Danny Boyle knows what he's doing.

I've seen a few poor-middling reviews for it - still looking forward to it though. 

I'm sure he knows what he's doing but the man has been known to throw a shit film in here and then - take the Beach, Sunshine for examples :P

I thought it was whack when I saw it back in the day - I remember being underwhelmed when I went to the cinema to see it and haven't seen it since.

Then again I didn't enjoy interstellar the first time in the cinema but when I watched it again on 4K the other day I was enthralled so I guess tastes can change.

I stand by The Beach being a shit film though.

Well I'm not about to tell anyone they're wrong about what they like (except for when @The Nal starts slagging off all musicals), but you should watch it again.

I also found Sunshine disappointing on the first viewing, but rewatching completely changed my mind and it's a film I've returned to several times since.  I really wish Danny Boyle would do more sci-fi.

I'm trying to avoid reading anything about T2 until I get to see it.

From the interview he did with Kermode and Mayo last week, I don't think Danny Boyle particularly rates it himself.

 

Saw T2 last night and enjoyed it. Not a patch on the original obviously but still good. really wasn't sure about it when it was first announced, Didn't think much at all of Porno when I read it. But then the trailer, and I started thinking it could be OK. Was genuinely nervous driving to the cinema that it might be really shit but no need to worry, Not sure how good it is as a stand alone film, but then it's impossible to think of it as a stand alone film

You know what I think I just might. You and Spindles have intrigued me enough :)

Thats good then, I'm still a little worried but you've given me confidence enough to want to like it if that makes sense.

Will post back with an opinion later (no spoilers, obvs)

T2 was really good. Much better than I expected. Really funny throughout and Begbie a total psycho as always.

glad Danny Boyle did justice to the original - I was worried it would be just a rehash of Trainspotting but it wasn't. Really glad I went to see it :)

Have just finished watching Lion. A truly remarkable film, and fully deserving of all the nods it is receiving currently. If you finish that film without it touching an emotional nerve somewhere then you might be in trouble. 

Great story and the film does it justice imo.

Tough one. I'm narrowing it down to 4; Schindler's List, Raiders, Bridge of Spies, or Lincoln. 

I didnt think much of Bridge of Spies other than Mark Rylance's performance.

I'd go Schindler's List or Raiders.

It still amazes me that he was post-production editing Jurassic Park in the evenings after filming Shindler's list during the day.
