It looks... familiar, but I can't quite place it.

Halloween. With the new Halloween due out later this year, touted as a direct sequel to the original (and ignoring all the other sequels! ) it seemed an apposite time to revisit the original as babysitting duties for teenager Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) turn into a terrifying battle for survival when escaped madman Michael Myers decides to come home for Halloween... Still a classic after all these years, Halloween has lost none of its power to scare and seems, much like 1974's Black Christmas, both very 70s and yet oddly timeless at the same time. 

Went to the cinema to see Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. I was somewhat underwhelmed by Jurassic World, and this latest in the franchise has come in for very harsh reviews, though I'm not entirely sure why. It's a big dumb fun popcorn movie that delivers what it says on the tin, and I think I preferred it to its predecessor to be honest; I enjoyed the switch in location in the second half, along with its corresponding claustrophobic horror movie feel. Overall nothing special but perfectly watchable and enjoyable.

Jurassic always has been losing his little animals for years.
These Americans do not know how to make walls

Walls?
Am I right in guessing that this means a "series" of films?
Episodes in an ongoing story if you like.

And yes, I agree.
I haven't seen many US series that I'd call good all the way through.
Mostly it seems like they find a story that makes money, and then flog it to death.

A penetrating analysis, O fish.

On the whole, I think the best thing to do with a TV is probably to watch films on it, or use it as a monitor...

Smashing it up with extreme prejudice is an interesting option too.

I have not seen the movie but I think they will lose another dinosaur

Is this the kind of thing you had in mind?

Amazing, it's like you read my mind...the gif needs a denouement, though, I think, an evil spirit departing the wreckage or a satisfying explosion; it makes the PC look unpleasantly invulnerable.

They are.
That's what makes it a horror movie.

I'm so embarrassed.

Wolfen. Gruesome killings lead an NYPD detective to conclude that the perpetrators may actually have been wolves - but these are no ordinary animals. Albert Finney and Gregory Hines star in this spookily effective early 80s chiller that has a wonderfully creepy atmosphere and is very well directed throughout.

Saw Ant-man and the Wasp at the cinema today. Under house arrest after the events of Captain America Civil War, Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) risks his own freedom to help Hope (Evengeline Lilly) and Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) try to rescue their lost mother/wife respectively from the quantum universe. This sequel to 2015's Ant-man is passable enough, but I didn't think it was quite as funny or inventive as the first one.
