yep at 56 I have vague memories of The Fall Guy, but did really enjoy the film, and have been trying to convince friends that the trailer hasn't given away all the juice. The way they shoehorned the romance in with the bullhorns was hilarious, the split screen phone call was beuatifully done, and yep loved seeing how many of the stunts were actually practical in the end credits. PLUS - the story made sense

Always thought cinemas would’ve done this for the last season of Game of Thrones. I know it wasn’t great but I would’ve definitely gone to a cinema with friends and my sons to watch it. Especially if there was a bar there, and it was less “formal” than when it’s screening films. That would’ve been ace, I reckon.

I remember people’s reaction to things like the Notebook. Yes, they are films he’s been in that haven’t had box office return, but Crazy, Stupid Love did, La La land did, plus his performance in Bladeruner showed his versatility.

Bambie Thug’s performance/design incorporates ideas of pre-Christian Irish belief systems and mythology. Some people still practice versions of this today, but more generally these ideas influenced a particular type of Christianity here in Ireland (mourning rituals/ art/ superstitions etc). The effect has also gone global- for example the festival of Samhain [pronounced Sow-en] becoming Halloween.

On cinema - yes it’s expensive and yes people have got out of the habit. But I think the main reason is most people don’t enjoy it - and they never did. Absence has not made the heart grow fonder - quite the opposite. Over the last years people think back to going to the cinema and they remember crappy seats, out of focus screens and projectors, average sound (in most everyday cinemas) massively expensive, unlicensed, and full of snotty kids chatting and on their phones the whole time. These days the average screen size for new tv’s is around 65” (compared to 32” ten years ago) and with a decent sound bar and a good take away you can have a really decent movie going experience. The only exception to that would be Dolby Cinemas and IMAX (particularly the BFI IMAX in Southbank which is a life changing experience) for which I am happy to pay a premium for the right movie (Oppenheimer being the most recent)

I'm not with Marina on Timothy Chalamet being able to open a movie - certainly in the case of Dune which is a beloved IP with a dedicated fanbase, added to the Denis Villeneuve factor (he, Nolan, Tarantino and Scorsese are basically the only directors working today who can pull in a guaranteed audience).

Our tolerance for sitting in cinemas with people who might be loud/distracting has lowered as we’re used to watching things in the controlled environment of our homes. The cinema screenings I’ve gone to in the last year have been older classic movies/cult movies. The exceptions are Dune 2 and previously Oppenheimer as they need a big screen but it’s very rare that I’d take the risk on something new with crowds

I'll throw in a very unpopular idea that I think will one day be huge. VR headsets let you watch movies in a virtual cinema that really could so easily be adapted to include other people with you in that cinema. I still want to watch movies alone sometimes but the atmosphere of a lot of people would work in a virtual setting too with the added benefit you could click on loud peoples heads and mute them. Can't do that in a real cinema sadly.

True, TVs have got bigger, home sound has got better etc. Just as importantly though IMO, release windows have got _much_ shorter. Often films are barely out of the cinema before they're on some channel or other to watch at home. Factor in the cost and idjets answering their phones in screenings etc. and there's just not the same incentive to go to the pictures (it's a real _pity_ IMO - watching on TV just cannot match a _good_ cinema experience, especially for e.g. horror and comedy where the "crowd effect" can elevate good movies to greatness - but it's still understandable).

The Fall Guy does not have a built in audience because it’s one of these shows that most people know but don’t remember. A-Team, Airwolf, Knight Rider none of them were any good but we remember loving them at the time and therefore they do have a built in audience. The Fall Guy I watched a bit but frankly I’m ambivalent towards It and can’t remember it much. Thus I think to myself do I want to watch a movie based on an 80s tv show that was probably rubbish but I can’t remember? Not on your Nelly!

I'd venture that most of the people who know 'The Fall Guy' have aged out of going to see a movie like 'The Fall Guy' at the cinema and anyone else is just going to go by the trailer (which was terrible IMO) and Gosling/Blunt. (I have _vastly_ fonder memories of e.g. 'Airwolf' but even then, i'm only going to watch a big screen 'Airwolf' movie if I can get enough old mates together for a nostalgia trip - in and of itself, i'm totally happy to wait to watch it at home)

I've been saying this for years now, if cinemas started showing big tv shows that would be really popular. Imagine watching Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, Band of Brothers etc on a cinema screen, it would be amazing! Most films are not worth the money to go and watch at the cinema, that's why people don't go. They wait until they're on streaming services and watch them there on a service they are already paying for. If people know they love a tv show or an old movie, they'd pay to go and watch it on the big screen. Every time our local cinema shows an old classic movie (Jurassic Park for example), its a sell out. Cinemas need to change or disappear forever.

(oddest thing with shows like these for me is they loom large in memory but sometimes only ran for e.g. 14 episodes in the case of 'Streethawk', 8 episodes for 'Manimal' etc. And be sure you're sitting down for this... they only ever made 16 "Hong Kong Phooey"s !!!??)

With Eurovision, I sometimes think the UK (and others) spend too much time trying to win and not enough time simply putting on a good show for the voters/viewers. That means working out who is best at putting a song across, and that starts with the singing. With Olly's contribution, the song was fine, but the show wasn't. His singing was simply not up to par. Now, I am a musician and was a voice producer, and I notice every bum note or weak note, and can hear technically what is wrong. Most of the audience won't notice those details, but they will still know it is not hitting all the right buttons for them - they simply won't be entertained as much as they had hoped. And if they are not, they won't vote. Politics might sway a certain amount of the voting, but it is hard to get people to vote for something that is weak and is therefore easily forgotten. When you look at winners over the years, the one thing that links them, even some of the stranger winners, is that they are strong. They start on a high, and they keep it going the entire way through. Sometimes this was because they stuck to an earlier formula where the singer was not the writer. One of the biggest songs (non EV) or all time is "The Greatest Love of All." Dolly Parton wrote and performed a great song. Then it was given to Houston, and it became something else. That kind of approach shouldn't be ignored. If I had any advice (and mine is just one silly voice amongst thousands) for next year, I would say, think about the show. Put a combination together, tightly controlled by a great but in-the-background producer, and concentrate on putting on a blinding show. Aim for being in the top fifteen and giving everyone a great night. Then, with a bit of luck, it might score higher. But at least it will have less chance of scoring Nil Points.

I would say it's melody, melody, melody, plus enough variety and interest within the song (and a strong singing voice as you say is crucial). I've been quite good at guessing the winners over the years and those in the top five. People say the rest of Europe don't like us in the UK, but that's rubbish - Sam Ryder proved that. It's the one time in recent years (as a Brit) I said we could win!

The film industry will shift to smaller budget movies, like Challengers. The big budget films are dying out, and so will the multiplexes that rely on them to survive. So there may be a return to smaller cinemas with fewer screens. That might be a good thing: bigger crowds, more community, better films. The reason people don’t go to the cinema is that so much of people’s attention has been redirected into the convenience of social media content. It’s become almost redundant to go to cinema, which is very expensive on time, money and energy, and so audiences drop. Cinemas need to pivot into providing communal experiences, because they can’t compete on content anymore.

I think there's a bit of a misconception that Marvel films are filling up the screens in cinemas and stopping others being shown... I just looked at the films released at Cineworld over the last 6 months, and Madame Web was the only Marvel film we've had (technically it's a Sony film based on Marvel IP), and it didn't stick around very long because is was universally panned. The only other 'hero'-film was Aquaman at Christmas (DC), which again didn't stay around much after the festive season. There have been a decent variety of films released this year (I've been to see over 30 so far in 2024 with my Cineworld Unlimited card), but generally people just aren't heading out to the cinema to see them!

I'm sad to say, I don't agree that the new Dr Who is that good, so far. I am nearing my mid fifties, but have always looked at Dr Who objectively, since the first reboot by Russell T Davies, which was excellent. Following his departure, stories definitely became more ridiculous and things happened without reason. Singly, "Oh, it's the Dr, that's why X happened". Jodie Whittaker wasn't bad, but wasn't great. Nothing to do with being the first female Dr, and all to do with less good stories. The second reboot, with Russel T Davies and, for most people of my age, the second best Dr, in David Tennant (only very slightly behind Tom Baker), was another breath of fresh air. An excellent few programmes, made by and with an extremely successful team. I was full of hope, on first impressions of the new Dr. I liked his acting, and even the song and dance routine was entertaining. However, it feels like the new series has undergone too much Disneyfication. Incredible production, but going back to the days of Steven Moffat and Chris Chibnall, in terms of the stories missing detail, in favour of "it happened, because it's the Dr". As with Jodie Whittaker, I will continue to watch, but the first couple of episodes haven't gained 100% of my attention. I hope it improves, and the Whoniverse becomes something special 🤞

There is an interesting dynamic for Doctor Who and other BBC shows in Ireland. They don't allow streamers to have rights to it in the UK and Ireland which is fine if you are in the UK but in Ireland (ROI) we can't access the iPlayer so we have to watch/record it on standard TV and can't catchup later. Very annoying and to my mind about time the ROI was split away from these deals. Basically applies to anything on the iPlayer that is streamed elsewhere around the world. We won't have access to stream it at our leisure.

As Marina mentions, Challengers has done very well as a mid-budget adult-oriented original film. Part of the problem with Fall Guy to me is that it just didn't feel like something I needed to go to the cinema for. It'll be on streaming. The drama and spectacle of Challengers felt worthy of a cinema trip just from the trailer, and then the word of mouth and the chatter online added to it. Fall Guy isn't really getting rave posts about it.

@@andybrice2711 In a TV project that is supposed to promote peace, there is an issue when participants support a war, even if they did not personally start it. But the bigger problem is if the country that is in war with another wins, they get the chance to do a propaganda show. It doesn't take a lot of votes pr country to score high points via the televotes (even if it is not shown, they are divided in to countries, and the score is divided in to the same 1-8 +10 +12 as the jury votes, so only the top 10 per country gets points, and then there is the additional rest of world vote as one single vote pool). I don't doubt that Israel's government had a strategy for Eurovision, there were campaign in social media, and they also always know that most jews outside of Israel are still zionists, and thus will support israel in anything they do, and on their own try to promote the state of israel, so they knew they had a fair chance of "rigging" the televotes, and thus possibly win the competition, to be able to hold a propaganda show next year. (had they been successful, they also knew a lot of artists and jury members that are against Israels war on Palestinians would boycott the competition, thus creating an opportunity for Israel, to if not win, at least place at the very top in their own show, thus boosting the propaganda). So of course EBU should ban any country that is attacking another country, of performing genocide on a people. That is not in line with their stated goal of Eurovision Song Contest.

The thing when they try to tie a semi-original movie to an existing IP, is that even if you have a degree of brand recognition and it attracts an audience familiar with that IP they invite a backlash because the movie is so far removed from the original that they remember people feel ripped off and word of mouth can be bad because of that. Imagine if you were a real fan of the 80's Lee Majors TV version of The Fall Guy and that's why you bought a ticket for the movie, should such a person exist, what would you make of the movie?

I think we (the UK) get weirdly parochial about the acts we send, while acting as though we're not being parochial. Sam Ryder was the exception. But otherwise, we send acts that that for some reason our journalists and broadcasters publicly assume will get big points based on name recognition alone, and are then always surprised when that doesn't happen. Most other countries send obscure acts they know full well nobody outside their country really knows about, so they know they have to do the best they can with performance and staging to compensate.

I don't watch Eurovision, I haven't seen The Fall Guy and I don't watch Doctor Who. Hasn't the film industry being dying for the last 5 years. 90s had the great original lower buget films (Donnie Darko, Usual Suspects) and then they made Lord of the Rings which sparked of the fantasy book era. Pixar came. Then comic book films and now we are entering the 'toy' era. Cinema has become genre based which has ruined film making. No one champions the independent, unless you live in that World, no one hears about lower budget films as they don't get cinema releases.

The streamers have done a lot of damage to the independent movie industry I think (they've kind of killed a lot of smaller production/distribution companies by outbidding them with their deep pockets and also effectively merged multiple individual markets - that a successful indy could sell to separately to make more money - into a single global one). There were always _trends_ in movie making of course but it does seem now that almost all the movies making it into cinemas are basically tent-pole movies ('Challengers' being a recent exception but that's got Zendaya as a draw). Not that they're all bad by any means (your 'Dune's etc. are great films IMO) but they feel of a type and are certainly expensive.

The fall guy is not an action movie. In premise it an action movie but whomever cut the movie together made the stakes entirely unbelievable and modern action movies require somewhat believable stakes. When an object moving at speed hits a stationary, the expected outcome is that moving object comes of worse and so when the guy fighting on speeding truck hits a hanging sign the expected outcome is to have a headless corpse, not to pan to dude laying the road entirely unharmed. That when the stakes go out the window and action movie stops being an action movie.

Fall Guy flopping is easy to work out. It's a Rom Com that cost $130m+ to make and it seemingly had no marketing. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person to first hear about this film through podcasts saying the film was a massive flop. Saying that, I'd still not have gone to see it had I known about it. I did enjoy it, but it's not something I'd dedicate 5 hours and £20-£30 to go see.

The Rock is 'officially' 6'4". Obviously he's not going to be measured properly...so the easiest measure is to get a photo of him standing next to someone whose height is known. Barack Obama. He has good reason to not exaggerate his height and The Rock is somewhat taller - maybe an inch and a half to two inches. Barack Obama is 6'1". Maybe Dwayne breaks 6'3" when he gets out of bed - maybe Obama is slightly taller than 6'1" but doesn't want to appear petty by including 'and a third'. Using metric Obama is measured at 187cm, which converts to 73.6 inches - which is more than 6'1". I'd have a small wager that Dwayne falls slightly short of 6'4" but not that he's

the expense is the major part of it. series or franchises do better than art style or original movies often because people are wanting to spend their money on something they deem "safe" as a purchase, they know what they are in for. they want to spend their money on a good movie guarantee. Art movies or new IP like fall guy are kinda a risky investment for a family or even single movie goer. They wait until streaming for certain movies theyre on the fence about seeing.

A quarter of our (Australia) current population weren’t born here, and if you take it back a couple of generations it’s probably a bit over 50%. A significant proportion of whom came from various European countries who, like ex-pats everywhere, clung to an idealised form of their native cultures and raised their children/grandchildren as cultural (and often actual) dual citizens. Melbourne has the second highest numbers of Greek speakers of any city in the world, including in Greece. (Even those of us Melbournians without Greek heritage know at least a few words, not all of which are rude!) All of which, combined with our ironic enjoyment of kitsch, explains the popularity of Eurovision here. Personally, I don’t have any problem with us sending an act to the competition, but really don’t think it should be included in the voting - and that’s far from a controversial opinion here, either.

They were basically a manufactured band. The naval officer, Victor Willis, was the only one who sung on most of the records (there are later non hit periods of the band without him and he doesn’t appear in the Village People movie Can’t Stop the Music) and he co-wrote some of the songs. The others were pretty much interchangeable dancers. Their hits were pre electronic dance music so I guess the instruments (quick listen to YMCA and it sounds heavily orchestrated with ‘real’ instruments) were played by session musicians based on what was written by Willis and producers Morali and Belolo.

On the Israel public vote, you had right-wing figures like Andrew Neil encouraging his fans to vote for Israel.

@@sonofliberty1 She has made statements, in support. Having to join the IDF is law, and refusing leads to jail-time. So you can't blame any Israeli for having to join the IDF, that would not be fair. But she clearly is in support. I am sure that the Israeli government played their part in trying to rig the tele-voting for a win. Because of how the point system works (each country get their own pool, it is divided among the top 10, in the same 1-8 + 10 +12 points as the jury votes), it doesn't take a lot of votes to get high scores from the televoting. And there were social media campaigns, and a lot of Jews using their influence on other Jews and on non Jewish friends. And like you say, the protest was boycott. The Israeli government would hav loved to be able to hold a propaganda show next year. And in doing so the ones boycotting in terms of voting, participating and being on the jury would ensure an Israeli success on their home field, possibly actually a win, furthering feeding the propaganda machine. EBU is too invested in the show to simply allow countries to boycott, they would run campaigns to make sure are many countries as possible would still participet, ensuring that it would become heavily skewed in favor of Zionism.

The _Clarkson's Farm / Doctor Who_ worldwide streaming connection: shows from the global streaming services almost never do well in the UK TV charts, unless they have a strong UK connection- instead they will make their money from the cumulated audience across many territories. That implies a future in which British TV, like British film before it, needs to be accepted by worldwide audiences in order to get the budget for anything remotely ambitious. In the long term that seems to entail either a watering-down of Britishness or an over-emphasis on aspects of Britishness which have global appeal.
