The Oscars.

 

Now I'm a massive sci-fi fan. I'll watch almost anything so long as it's based on a good idea, even if the execution is poor.

 

Everything, Everywhere, all at Once is a film I watched last year. It was OK. The idea was OK, the execution was OK. I considered myself moderately entertained. I can think of about 50 sci-fi films that were better. 

 

Without wishing to devolve the conversation into aspersions of forced inclusivity, is there any rational explanation for it cleaning up at the Oscars? I just cannot understand it. 

J I think you are being overly generous, myself and a few lads watched that movie a fee months ago on a weather day, whilst none of us will ever end up as film critics I think to a man it was generally considered to be dire.

Aye, but you see, I'm a sci-fi lover. Being of that persuasion means I respect the ambition, even if most of the rest of it was forgettable.

I’m big into reading Sci-fi, in fact I’m on the third instalment of Adrian Tchaikovskys Children series right now. Amazing books.

 

Obviously I love Sci-fi movies as well. Never knew the Everything movie was one although I’ll not be rushing to watch it. 😁

 

Watched Dune again last night. I really hope they make the second one.

Anyone who wishes to see the UK remain unfractured needs to wish with every fibre in their body that the good Mr Yousaf does indeed get the gig.

Hot favourite with those that control the SNP behind the scenes only, the fact that Yousaf is an incompetent fool will come as no surprise to anyone who’s lived under the mismanagement he and his party of charlatans pass off as governance. Sturgeon baled whilst she could as time will prove.
