I'm not sure who to PM here. 

PM'd SM. Think it's their go anyway

[Hazell]

Ex-Machina is a fine pick. Think I would have picked it as my wildcard as well.

[Hazell]

Think Nicholls is up, PM'd.

[Hazell]

PM'd Red Mongoose

[Lastrador]

I think we’re at the moment where anyone could “legally” made their picks, no? I said that because I’m heading out in a bit, and I don’t want to wait for two more days to make them. 

[Crosby Nick]

Who decided Sci Fi should be a category? Awful genre at the best of times.

[El Lobo]

It's lobo, he gets banned once or twice a year. 

Probably more than that

[Lawnmowerman]

It's alright, you can still pick Rise of Skywalker 

[Lawnmowerman]

ugh that's not happening. i liked that rogue one as a standalone story. end was great too. it gave me the feelings

[Lawnmowerman]

nicely done lastrador. was on the wildcard list.

[Betty Blue]

Agreed. It's a very good film and by far the best film they've made post-Lucas. Have you watch Andor? I was sceptical and it starts a bit slowly, but it really is excellent and a fitting companion to the film.

no and i know the same fella is in it. i have me sisters disney account. need to get stuck into it. watched that kenobi and thought it wasn't great so it kinds put me off star wars

[Betty Blue]

no and i know the same fella is in it. i have me sisters disney account. need to get stuck into it. watched that kenobi and thought it wasn't great so it kinds put me off star wars

Give it a go. Just be patient as I found the first few episodes quite slow and almost gave up. It's way way better than Kenobi IMO, which was just a huge waste of Ewan McGregor.

[Lawnmowerman]

yeah will give it a go. don't mind slow burner. liked your man in narcos aswell

[red mongoose]

no and i know the same fella is in it. i have me sisters disney account. need to get stuck into it. watched that kenobi and thought it wasn't great so it kinds put me off star wars

I watched it on my sister's Disney as well - it's much better than that Obi-Wan shite. 

[Lawnmowerman]

pm'd max. i liked that ghost story. different t that what i'd normally watch and i'd rather pick that from the fantasy adventure than any of the latest marvel shite. was gonna pick captain america 1 from that category for me blockbuster which i actually liked but i'd still have to pick an animation anyway so fuck it, make me animation me blockbuster. big hero 6 is alright

[Hazell]

Kinell Bone Tomahawk. That scene is brutal.

[Lastrador]

nicely done lastrador. was on the wildcard list.

Cheers sir. Had it in there too, but my options in the action/western took a beating. Gonna have to go for something weirder and more fucked up for the wildcard pick.

[Lastrador]

Oh yeah, not for the softies.

you've got the lobster!

[Lastrador]

you've got the lobster!

A perfectly conventional movie that.

[Samie]

Can someone update selection thread please? 

[Betty Blue]

Got a question re the foreign language pick. There's a film I'm thinking of where the protagonist speaks in English and a bit of Spanish, but the film is mostly in German (the film is basically about her not having a clue what's going on) and is set in Germany. Letterboxd lists its original language as German and lots of other sites list it as a foreign language film. Don't want to take the piss though. So if this doesn't fit the criteria let me know and I'll pick a different movie 

[Samie]

A foreign language is classed as being shot and/or produced and/or distributed by a company of said country.

Alrighty, sounds like I'm good then. I've picked it now, but I can also change it later if anyone takes issue.

No issues for me.

[Betty Blue]

Nice one, guys 

[Max_powers]

Sorry was out all day. Was surprised that Moonlight and Before Midnight lasted this long. Although as I mentioned the Drama/Romance category is really packed with quality.

[Lawnmowerman]

would have picked song of the sea if i didn't need a blockbuster

[Crosby Nick]

Right back to work this morning…will aim to catch up! How many picks am I due, two?

Yep, and once SM picks, you'll have another.

[Crosby Nick]

Yep, and once SM picks, you'll have another.

Thanks. Just double checked and Get Out also qualifies as my low budget/indie pick. Thanks

[Crosby Nick]

Wolf Children - https://m.imdb.com/title/tt2140203/plotsummary?ref_=tt_ov_pl#summary-po3493669

Sounds good. I should watch that at some point.

[tubby]

Wait are you picking a movie you've not seen before?  Madness.

[Crosby Nick]

Not seen any foreign language films this decade I would think. And didn’t fancy my options for it in the other categories!
