Josh!

Exactly the same as you about Candyman, Jack. Jordan Peele has been on such form and made so many clever horrors in recent years that his name attached had got me so excited for this. But so forgettable. A shame after the long wait for it to come out with Covid too :( Thanks for the comments Jack! Haha, I've only seen three of the five you've seen! 'Army of the Dead' and 'To All the Boys' won't be appearing. How were they? Wow at the HSM representation too. They never get old!! 'Gotta Go My Own Way' still slaps. Cheers Jay :heart:

75. Dear Evan Hansen directed by: Stephen Chbosky starring: Ben Platt, Amandla Stenberg, Nik Dodani, Colton Ryan, Danny Pino, Julianne Moore, Kaitlyn Dever, Amy Adams This was a very mixed bag but veered more towards the bad. At times it had some really inspirational moments with its ‘you’re not alone’ mental health message. But then the lead character was so wholly unlikeable and questionable in his decisions that so much of it was contradicted. The good: Amy Adams- poor woman went through the wringer, and back. But was still so lovely throughout and rose above all of Evan’s bullshit. Queen! Some lovely songs too. I loved the one where they were fabricating the e-mails and injecting random bits of personality into Connor. That was proper musical theatre fun that. And Julianne Moore’s musical number was lush too (it gave me “Slipping Through My Fingers” vibes) - very touching. The bad: Evan Hansen. Just so horrible and basically has no repercussions for his string of selfish decisions. Trash!! Genuinely the hardest lead character to root for ever tbh. (P.S. What was in Adams’ brown envelope, haha. A post-it note with a link to a Dropbox file?! We MacBook users would never have the luxury of a USB port, lmao!) 74. Candyman directed by: Nia DaCosta starring: Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Teyonah Parris, Nathan Stewart-Jarrett, Colman Domingo, Kyle Kaminsky, Vanessa Williams Entertaining and never boring but it did feel very run-of-the-mill despite the hype. It began to fall apart when you look deeper into the plot as well. The good: The character design for the Candyman was pretty terrifying and equally gruesome too. The skin transformation should've come with a f***ing trypophobia warning. Teyonah Parris was also just a delight to watch, she's gorgeous! The bad: Ended very abruptly? I thought it was just getting pretty good and then the title card came out of nowhere. But now I'm not invested enough for a sequel so I'm not sure it did enough there... 73. Supernova directed by: Harry Macqueen starring: Colin Firth, Stanley Tucci Aw, my heart. The scene where the audio recording of the suicide note is played out loud was such a hard-hitting moment. The final moment of Sam playing the concert alone knowing what has happened off-screen was also very touching. Some brill acting on showcase here too - I do love myself some Colin Firth (acting king!) On the other hand, it was a bit dull throughout to be honest. Definitely felt longer than it’s run time. It felt like something that could’ve been wrapped up equally well in a short film if you just cut out the scenic road trip shots & the fairly irrelevant side characters. 72. Gunpowder Milkshake directed by: Navot Papushado starring: Karen Gillan, Lena Headey, Carla Gugino, Chloe Coleman, Michelle Yeoh, Angela Bassett, Paul Giamatti I’m usually very meh about guns and violence action movies but I enjoyed this slightly more than I usually do. The female lineup probably helped things but there it was pretty entertaining too, up until the very end where I felt it dragged a bit as they tied up all the loose ends with Giamatti etc. I think the action scenes in general were the main highlight. Gillan’s paralysed arms swinging about had me chuckling especially. The over-the-top bloody stylised fight sequences were fun to watch too (who doesn’t love a forklift truck slicing off a head… or a classic American milkshake slamming into someone’s face and breaking into shards). I bloody love Karen Gillan and will watch her in pretty much anything but she was a struggle to watch here. She was doing the absolute most to seem menacing and dark and brooding but it just came off a bit cringey in all honesty. Re-cap: 72. Gunpowder Milkshake 73. Supernova 74. Candyman 75. Dear Evan Hansen 76. Red Notice 77. A Boy Called Christmas 78. Respect 79. Don't Breathe 2 80. Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins 81. Pig 82. The French Dispatch

It really was this. It was uncomfortable from the get-go & then the movie was shit too :lol: No redeeming features really. You certainly didn't miss out. I recall being a bigger fan of Grand Budapest Hotel, for sure. I've been meaning to check out his Fantastic Mr. Fox for years too but I've never got round to it yet. Would you still rank it as one of your least faves of his even though you did like it? Yeah, Red Notice was super generic. But these things rake in millions of views so I guess they'd be mad not to make them. It was a let-down though because it was soooo generic that it even stripped the like-ability away from some really charismatic actors, eek.

79. Don't Breathe 2 directed by: Rodo Sayagues starring: Stephen Lang, Brendan Sexton III, Madelyn Grace One of the most disappointing sequels ever I think. Much weaker than the first one. The first worked much better as a home invasion movie where the intensity was really built up. This one felt much messier and harder to follow. The film felt unnecessarily gory at times too. Like why was the girl chopping off the arm? To avoid dropping two metres into an empty pool!?!? But then she fell anyway… eh. The film peaked at the superglue suffocation (that was gruesome in the best way). Also found it really hard to root for anyone at all which made it hard to enjoy. The blind man having a redemption arc didn’t really sit well with me. He was such a despicable monster in the first film that the most scary thing to happen in this one is that he was actually solely responsible for a young child. Now that was terrifying. 78. Respect directed by: Liesl Tommy starring: Jennifer Hudson, Forest Whitaker, Marlon Wayans, Audra McDonald, Marc Maron, Tituss Burgess, Mary J. Blige What a slog! Sorry bout it but nothing this run-of-the-mill should be nearing 2 hrs & 30 minutes. The only saving grace was J-Hud’s powerhouse vocal performance on some absolute classics. She put in a solid acting job too but didn’t have much to do aside from sing until the final act. The story was just so over-complicated and introduced so many themes, of which none were covered in depth. I feel like the scenes flitted at random from tumultuous relationship, to religion, to alcoholism, to flashbacks of a pained childhood, to music label issues - it was hard to keep up. Yet none of the above were even slightly fleshed out enough to make yourself care, or take an interest in any of the side characters. A shame :( 77. A Boy Called Christmas directed by: Gil Kenan starring: Henry Lawfull, Toby Jones, Sally Hawkins, Kristen Wiig, Michiel Huisman, Zoe Colletti, Stephen Merchant, Jim Broadbent, Maggie Smith Decent enough Xmas movie but don't think it'll be a future classic in my household. Saying that, I could honestly listen to Maggie Smith narrate the phone book. What a legend. Her little comedic remarks and interjections never get old no matter what character she’s playing. I wasn’t really enjoying the main Nikolas plot most of the time though tbh. It was kinda dull and he was pretty annoying too. It picked up at the end though as the loose ends started to wrap up nicely and it all ended with Christmas being born. This movie is to Christmas, what Wicked is to Wizard of Oz. Also, why cast Sally Hawkins if she’s not going to be the loveable matriarchal character that brings a tear to your eye?! Wasted opportunity by NOT continuing to typecast her, haha. 76. Red Notice directed by: Rawson Marshall Thurber starring: Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, Gal Gadot, Ritu Arya, Chris Diamantopoulos Totally fine action movie. It was so by the numbers that there was no excitement whilst watching it whatsoever… but it did what it said on the tin. To be honest, I remember very little about this already. Ryan Reynolds was the cast member I was most looking forward to seeing here but he wasn’t as funny as he normally is. I think he got a chuckle or two from me but he’s been on such top form in recent years and this wasn’t one of his standout roles. Gal Gadot was fine - she looked gorgeous! Never liked The Rock and he didn’t shine here either. The final 20 mins or so were quite juicy and I didn’t see the twist coming so props to the film there. The cameo was probably the highlight too. I loved the Egyptian princess completely ignoring the eggs and screaming instead, haha. The set up ending for a Red Notice 2 does not excite me. Re-cap: 76. Red Notice 77. A Boy Called Christmas 78. Respect 79. Don't Breathe 2 80. Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins 81. Pig 82. The French Dispatch

Right? At least critics didn't exactly give it favourable reviews either. I feel like I can still appreciate art that sometimes goes over my head, especially when I go and read other interpretations on it online etc., but this one was just poor on all fronts for me (aside from looking really nice as you say! :P).

82. The French Dispatch directed by: Wes Anderson starring: Benicio del Toro, Adrien Brody, Tilda Swinton, Léa Seydoux, Frances McDormand, Timothée Chalamet, Lyna Khoudri, Jeffrey Wright, Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Christoph Waltz, Edward Norton, Jason Schwartzman, Anjelica Huston Guess it’s time that I realise that Wes Anderson films are not for me. They just reek of pretentiousness and are the definition of style over substance. For a ’comedy’, my face didn’t even twitch once through the entire runtime. The individual stories were less good as they went along to be honest. The first one was decent enough and I liked the trick that Del Toro’s character pulled. However, I was fully mentally checked out by the food and drinks one. It gets one star for the gorgeous cinematography. I’d fully support it getting one Oscar nomination in that category. Another half star for the unique magazine structure and the title cards. It was something a bit different and I liked the way it worked as a movie structure. 81. Pig directed by: Michael Sarnoski starring: Nicolas Cage, Alex Wolff, Adam Arkin Not sure what I was expecting really, but seemed like a lot of unnecessary aggro for a pig. Struggled to keep my attention & by the end I was barely following what was going on. I was grateful tbh when the end credits suddenly started to roll quite surprisingly. I felt like we were introduced to loads of random side characters that we were just expected to know their back story, but then they weren’t even explained (like the baguette lady, and the underground fighting guy) A few humorous moments which means it wasn’t a total waste of time. I chuckled when the chef was like… ‘do you need medical attention first of all?’, lol. I liked the companionship between Wolff and Cage too. 80. Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins directed by: Robert Schwentke starring: Henry Golding, Andrew Koji, Úrsula Corberó, Samara Weaving, Haruka Abe, Takehiro Hira, Iko Uwaisn Just couldn't care less about these C-list action movies anymore. I probably shouldn't have gone in expecting to be bored, but I ended up even more bored still. There were some bits that made it worth staying awake for. Henry Golding was a charming enough leading man. The old lady leader of the organisation was a queen and had iconic fan-ography. And the action was entertaining at times with the swords, flips, giant snakes etc. Plot wise, I just couldn't care enough about any character to even bother keeping up. The whole film really was at a disadvantage being released in close proximity to the far superior, but similarly themed Shang-Chi. Re-cap: 80. Snake Eyes: G.I. Joe Origins 81. Pig 82. The French Dispatch

If you’ve not been watching High School Musical: The Musical - The Series then you’ve been missing out! :lol:

Hi Sergej Nice to see The Weeknd creep into the top 40. I really liked TMB so it was a shame to see it be a relative commercial disappointment when his other songs have been ubiquitous nightmares. Hope the new album can live up to expectations come Friday! Night Crawling was SUCH a banger too. Miley really found her lane last year and now I'm so hungry for me. I even love that little song she sings on the Gucci advert that's always on, haha. Release that in the meantime to keep us stans quenched!! Loving it so far :)

Always enjoy your write-ups Jordan, they're a pleasure! Looking forward to seeing what appears.

Hi Lewis 2021 was the year of Maisie Peters for me!! She was my biggest discovery without doubt. It was nice to see her breakthrough into the mainstream a bit with 'Psycho' and the album too. Can't wait to see where she goes from here. I'm with you where there was just something about 'Love (Sweet Love)' that didn't click and I'm not even sure what it was really. I love a good female vocal moment and Perrie is doing the most on the track so it'd normally be the sort of thing I love. Saying that, I loved 'No' and it was even more of a flop so oh well.

Hi Pete I love what you said about Sigrid's 'Mirror'. It really does have that addictive quality to it where you could easily listen to it again and again. Shame it didn't quite break through to be a top 40 hit. I thought 'Burning Bridges' was even more additive. I hope that's not the last we see of her in the charts! Looking forward to the rest.

Hi Ansel, love the effort you've put into doing chart histories and everything. I remember the days of having such dedication! Super cool stuff. Totally agree with you with your comment that Avril should be smashing like good 4 u has. I feel like she has so much nostalgic goodwill towards her but I'd love it to turn into a bit of a hit!! Can't wait for the album if it's as fun as this. Nice to see you give CHVRCHES such nice comments too. Although 'Violent Delights' is noticeably missing from your commentary. Are you not a fan? It's the album highlight for me!

Gutted at this!! I thought she served the best runways of the season, she was so polished and she was funny out of drag too in her confessionals. She seems like a great spokesperson off the show too and I just think would be a better first winner representation than Kita (who would be a fine 5th place in most seasons). I could've done without Karen early on though, wouldn't have missed her lol.

Excited to see what you do with this season. I hope you're as big an Art Simone fan as I am.

Well I hope you can get some good ideas for recommendations from my faves, haha! What films have you seen this year? x

After watching the episode, I must admit it was an odd choice for the crowning although I'm quite happy with the choice. Farida smashed the episode really. Her verse was the most exciting, her finale runway with the golden birds was breathtaking (but we're used to that from her now) and her lipsync seemed the most emotional too. Elecktra's feather runway was stun too & she did well in the reading challenge but I'm not sure how they even justified between themselves crowning her instead, lol. She seemed really humbled by the win though and her speech was quite touching compared to the usual 'I'm the best' schtick.

Queen! I liked her so I'm happy. Not watched the episode yet but she must have had a bloody good episode because Farida seemed like the only reasonable choice for winner since episode 1? I thought she'd walk it!

Happy with the winner, kind of. Don't really know what the point is in inviting people back again and again until they win. But they were very strong throughout the season, and they seem to really love what they do which is quite infectious to watch. I'd be fuming if I was Saint though... after feeling not good enough the first time and then winning an All Stars to come back and compete on a regular season and lose to the person you beat in the All Stars, hahahhaha!!! Hoso absolutely smashed the finale though. They had the best runway each time out of all three. To be so raw about cancer and racism against the East in her horror/filth was so interesting to watch (& important, ofc!). Sigourney is my contestant of the season. Loved her attitude throughout and she was just so f***ing cool. I hope it's not the last we see of her even though I'm not sure how much more she can give either tbh, lol.

Priyanka stealing the show! She's had such a fabulous reign - gutted it's over! Not my winner but she had a good week. Kendall was really way out of her depth. Especially in comparison to half of the eliminated queens tbh hahaha... all of Kimora Amour, Adriana & Stephanie Prince looked STUNNING.

spill!

Who do you think will win? (choose one) - Kornbread Who's going to be an early out? (multiple choice) Orion Story Which queens did YOU like the most? (multiple choice) Bosco! I reckon the final 4 could be Kornbread, Bosco, Willow Pill & Angeria.

Yeah, how on EARTH did you get tickets? We had ourselves in the queue on about three devices and the highest we were was about 6000th, ahahha. The Glasgow venue only holds about 2,500 people!! We didn't stand a chance :( I'm absolutely gutted too. I'm hoping Jack is right with what he says above. Skip the Hydro and upgrade straight to Hampden Park! :lol:

I'm tempted to get tickets to the tour based on how strong this cast is! I think if both Hoso & Sigourney make it then it'll justify the cost of the ticket and then some. They're two of my faves from any franchise this year even.
