I just finished Hemingway's "A Farewell To Arms" Oof. What a gut punch!

I've not used it for a few years but you've had me dig it out and follow you. Congratulations!

Michelle Yeoh is getting a 'Discovery' Spinoff.

Saniss gets me to help him write his forum posts at work

He also neglected the opportunity to say the volcano "sparked" the revolution.

I only went to the cinema a handful of times this year and twice of those were for Marvel. I get everyones points about Marvel not really having consequences but then Benedict Wong says something about Doctor Stranges favourite take away and I realise I'm really enjoying myself.

We watched MI: Fallout a second time on Blu-Ray the other night and that totally holds up.

I've not had a chance to see Spiderverse yet but I'll probably catch it when it comes out on disc.

I took the piss on twitter over your including Death Of Stalin, which is a great film and more people need to watch it because we often do not get Oscar nominated films released until after the awards have come and gone and many times I have been told that my best of the year choices were invalid because a film had been released somewhere else in a different year.

Glad to hear your work is picking up, I know that isn't the case for all publishers, but I hope it allows you to take on a bigger team so there is not as much pressure on yourself.

This time, Me and Tom are joined by Jimmy to look back on the year in movies.

2018 Movies In Review

We did a podcast!

Doctor Who, Medicine Woman

I've been meaning to check out Welles movies, I hear he's quite good. I did get A Touch Of Evil on Blu Ray for Christmas shortly before putting my film collection into storage.

So, the point Teague is making that while once all music came from the radio, all film was found in the cinema we now have more and more sources of entertainment meaning the audience to support a $200 Million is getting smaller and smaller.

Perhaps I should start a new thread for being unfoundedly optimistic but the thing Teague somewhat overlooked was what he described as the "static" that is taking up the space radio once dominated, The Andy Weir's who published directly to kindle, The Jonathon Coulton's who built an audience through releasing music as MP3's directly online.

The movie is no more doomed than the play was. The cinema might be, however I think it could have a few years left in it.  Film Reviewer Mark Kermode was asked on his radio show if he thought there had been a decline in quality movies and I was somewhat surprised to hear him say no. He argues that while the multiplexes showed Superhero movies constantly, the number of films getting smaller releases was up even if many didn't break through into the mainstream.

So , I don't think Movies are dying, I think they've died. Movies have become TV, TV has become novels, Novels have become radio (Audible and all that)

Fifteen years ago people declared the television drama dead and we would only have reality shows forever more. Now there is more dramas than ever and each one on it's own streaming service (Which is a whole other discussion)

I was just pointing out that you said something I sometimes say on a podcast, it's like I own it or something

I suggest any fans of little factoids seekout a podcast called "No Such Thing As A Fish". It's by the team that research and write QI and it's basically this thread in podcast form.
