Some of my meetings on the Sunday. Not easy to scan with a phone.

Hope everyone’s keeping safe. Been told my job that was meant to be starting in May will now be delayed by a month. Let’s keep checking with our friends and hoping this’ll all be over within a month or two.

Now if we could just get Harrison Ford for a double photo shoot.

Kid and parents:

My company decided the best way to follow the Government's advice of locking yourself away at home and avoid any unnecessary travel was to immediately put me on a plane to go thousands of miles away where I can't even do any work. But my hotel room is nice and I have lots of movies to watch so it could be worse.

Nope (and eating a whole tube of Pringles isn’t either)

But they are starting to get a bit raw now.

Please tell me someone else has seen this, I am crying

How about Matthew Broderick? It could be a Ferris Bueller reunion as Alan Ruck is already attending.

Which one are you looking at? And I got this

OI!

How long to stay at home If you have symptoms If you have symptoms of coronavirus, you'll need to stay at home for 7 days. After 7 days: if you do not have a high temperature, you do not need to stay at home if you still have a high temperature, stay at home until your temperature returns to normal You do not need to stay at home if you just have a cough after 7 days. A cough can last for several weeks after the infection has gone.

I'm going to end up with a doctor who play list of doctors singing at this rate.

THE INVISIBLE MAN (2020) 4.5/5 (No spoilers) When I heard this movie was written by Leigh Whannell (SAW) I suspected it would be good. Whannell is a writer who really knows how to come up with good s*** and isn't just another predictable sell-out Hollywood hack. He and James Wan are two guys who worked really hard and their passion for writing their own great scripts without big budgets or special effects is really admirable. Furthermore Whannell is also an actor who didn't let his ego tempt him into casting himself in this film so I knew that was a sign of him treating this right. Additionally, I always thought writers turned directors sucked but Whannell really proved he's got some talent behind the camera as well as behind the keyboard. Firstly, do not watch the trailer as it gives away some of the jump scares. Secondly, yes, its way better than HOLLOW MAN (2000). But this isn't a remake of the Claude Rains mad-scientist 1933 original either but rather an updated hi-tech version of the character with added feminism and a political message concerning domestic abuse. What separates this film from past "invisible man" films (including the forgettable John Carpenter/Chevy Chase one) is this is a delicious cocktail of science-fiction horror-mystery-suspense-thriller with an added topping of cat and mouse psychological drama too. There are a few great twists and turns throughout the film, a couple I really didn't see coming which only affirms how well-written the screenplay is. It's very smart while smoothly weaving in political feminist themes without letting them over-shadow the main plot. The script sticks to its guns as a horror-thriller and is engaging from start to finish. On one hand the horror aspect reminded me of another "female-tormented-by-invisible-force" scare-fest, THE ENTITY (1982) and on the other hand a Wes Craven slasher movie (A NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET, SCREAM). But this film differs in that we have a really clever and delightfully manipulative villain complete with edge-of-your-seat tension and scares and great musical score. Elizabeth Moss is amazing in the leading role too and not too dissimilar to Jodie Foster (while looking like Courtney Love). The only bad thing for me was the underwhelming climax which I think should have been played out more to give the audience a better sense of closure and satisfaction - we deserved a better pay-off. Also it would have been nice to know a bit more about the villain's work and how he acquired his invisibility tech. But despite that, THE INVISIBLE MAN is my favourite film this year and probably the best horror-thriller I've seen in ages and a definite buy on blu-ray for me. In fact I'll even say its one of the best horror remakes ever along with THE THING (1982), THE FLY (1986) and THE BLOB (1988).

There is a 'make an offer' button

As from Monday I’ll be home for at least a month since all musea and galleries are closed… plus side is my garden will look beautiful

On TV The BFG - Yes I know it's a kids film but it's funny. Easy way to while away time without putting any thought into it. 10/10 Paddington 2 - As above. 10/10. Hotel Transylvania - As above. 10/10. At The Cinema The Invisible Man - Very competent reboot of a classic story. Well written, well acted and most importantly it was actually scary. 10/10 Military Wives - A real feel good movie. It will make you laugh. It will make you cry. Good performances all round. 9/10

You can have Jables, as long as the Rage Kage can be there too!

I'm Pretty sure first for any SM Event - "we wanted to have this guest for 10 years."

Final photo of the weekend is Robert Englund. This was great fun. Robert chose the pose for each person. Good to know I am someone he would rather hug than murder.

Started a John Wick Poster. Started with Jerome Flynn and Mark Dacascos

Yeah and this time I gotta

Price tag schmice tag. Sometimes you just gotta.

It's sullied.

Not too bad thanks!

It kinda seems like you've just shoved everything behind your bed. That's cheating. I think if most of us here tried a forward roll, we would be dead now, so you did ok.

Not yet. But i'm sure there are companies who can supply one. Maybe

Hope everything works out.

But...

A Capaldi a day keeps the boredom at bay.

Best wishes to you and your sister. A little something to make the 2 weeks pass more quickly.

Working or coming on the forum more often? I'm only jealous because I don't have the working from home option. But there will be far less traffic.

Passengers. Decent film, very nice visuals. At the beginning why is he putting a jacket on to go and meet his fellow passengers? He's on a climate controlled spaceship. And at the end it's just as well that all those medical procedures she initiates that she has no idea about don't backfire. Also someone's going to get a shock when they find their rotting corpses.

I may get one at the end of the month depending how much I get and if anyone else is also announced by then but thanks for reminding me

I would like to meet him. Pretty In Pink and Mannequin are my favourite films of his and he has been in lots of other great films and tv shows.

Awesome. Fingers crossed for more Rocky Horror stars. It looks like I’ll be cosplaying as Dr Frank N Furter again
