Rebuffed
While film buffs Barber and James score points over the bookworms, Laurence and Baker, for actually having seen at least some of the films that they're recommending, they lose a few for the laziness with which they recycle their article. No new image to lure the reader in. Hell's teeth, they can't even be bothered to update the date from 14th April! The only betrayal of change is a slight revision to the title, just to reflect the additions.
The four new entries to those-we-should-see are:
- Past Lives;
- Broker;
- The Lesson; and
- Reality
The Lesson sounds interesting enough for me to watch it, at minimal effort. Whether I will or not is another matter. The rest seem to be a mixture of worthy but meh, and just plain meh.
At least they've corrected the date. That's something I guess. (shrug)
I won't tell if you don't. (secret)
Incidentally, I've only just noticed that the URL for this article,* indicates the original selection was eight in strength, not twelve. I guess we got the extra 50% early, as some kind of bonus. Lucky, lucky us.
