" The Irishman " is that a film or the company you were keeping ? Edit, Oh yeah, I've just remembered it's that film with Robert De Nero.

Wouldn't dream of watching Paddington 1 never mind 2, but it wouldn't have to be very good to be better than The Irishman which I gave up on after about 90 turgid minutes

Hugh Grant has said it’s the best film he’s ever been in. Not sure that counts for much.

For years I thought that was the Sheepshank Redemption... a film about knot making!

Watched Trains, Planes and Automobiles last night. The film is 33 years old and it still makes me laugh out loud. Great film.
I think one of the best films ever was 12 years a slave.

Fair comment but at least Love Actually had Stacey getting her ya-ya's out.

BTTT - Constanza - Mrs Nes agrees with you, but she also likes the first Paddington almost as much.

Grant’s good as the baddie in P2: better than Kidman was in P1. It’s great fun.

So it wasn't just me that was disappointed with 'The Irishman' ? I've seen much worse films but considering the hype around it I was expecting much more. The de-aging technology may have made the actors look younger (debatable) but what it didn't do was alter the fact that De Niro is now 76 and moves like a 76 year old. There was a fight sequence which was laughably bad. Also far too long, not interesting enough to justify 3 and a bit hours.
