(Movies-wise it's actually not too bad - you could get away with just Doc Strange 1 and Infinity War/Endgame as "essentials", Age of Ultron as a highly recommended suggestion.)

I would still watch it. The trailer looks amazing!

I'm up to date with the Marvel movies plus I watched Wandavision so should be OK with It

I'll probably still watch it but I don't have high hopes

[Niamh.]

Currently rewatching She's all that, loving the nostalgia but 90s plots are hilariously unrealistic

[Niamh.]

Oh Lord, he just told her to smile

[Niamh.]

Also Americans playing soccer and trying to make it look cool is so weird

[Niamh.]

Also lainy is supposed to be the poor girl but she has a pool in her garden

Last night I went to see Top Gun : Maverick.
Omg it was absolutely brilliant!
I love the original and this one didn't disappoint.
The best thing about it was the aerial shots. You really feel like you're in those planes, it's so exciting!
Great new bunch of new characters as well and loved Maverick and Rooster father/son dynamic
10/10 for me. An awesome thrill ride

[Vanessa]

We also got a trailer for the new Mission Impossible movie. It looks absolutely insane!

Watch it on 4dx. It's breathtaking!

The USA version of the Shining - it's nearly half hour longer than the international version, which is the only one I'd seen before. I prefer it - I know most people and even Kubrick actually preferred the shortened one, I like the extra scenes and bits of extended dialogue.

Not Another Teen Movie is a better version of She's All That. It's a direct parody, but just overall a better movie

The "ugly girl" is always actually drop dead gorgeous, she just wears glasses and dungarees

I love the shining. In my opinion that's jack Nicholson best performance.

[Vanessa]

I really want to watch the new Jurassic park movie next. On 4dx, of course!

Not Another Teen Movie pretty much lampshades that trope. And she actually lives in squalor - in She's All That she was meant to be poor, but it was just that her huge house was less huge than Freddie's

To be fair, "poor" is all quite relative, I grew up in a very middle-middle household, we had a nice detached house, no money issues etc. but I remember at one point at Uni being sat with a few people in Halls who had been to private school/had spent the summer touring Africa or teaching kids how to sail in Dubia or whatever, and I felt like a ****ing pauper
