A24 have started a podcast. And the first episode is a conversation between Barry Jenkins and Greta Gerwig. 

A24 are the best.

Do NOT watch this at work. You will laugh and have all your colleagues stare at you weirdly.

Oscars spoiler...

Because it's obvious that the world demanded it, John Travolta is going to star in Fred Durst's directorial debut.

[Benji]

Fred Durst famously wore a red hat and was a douchebag. Was he a warning of the future?

Travolta: "Are we still rolling?"
Durst: "Yeah, we keep rollin', rollin', rollin', rollin'..."

Opinion needed. Is Wonder Woman suitable for a 6 year old? Comes on Sky this week and I know she'd want to watch it. 

Imdb parents guide looks promising, no token Marvel single swear word per movie. 

[Josh]

If I recall correctly, it’s fine. The only thing could be that it gets really intense at times.

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

I feel like there were lots of girls around that age in the theatre when I went to watch it.

[Josh]

That’s a great point. I saw people of all ages there.

[Colly]

Ace. Cheers. We're at that kind of awkward stage where she's probably hearing stuff at school anyway, but I'm still steering clear of "haha, Iron Man said shit!" for the time being. 

[Benjamin]

6 years old? She's already learning swear words too late!

[Mx. Canadian Destroyer]

Had a free movie I could use from Scene.

Going to see Black Panther right after work.

[Colly]

To update: asked if she wanted to watch it on Saturday. She said she wants to watch Harry Potter. Kids.

I mean, Harry Potter is pretty great. 

[Colly]

It is, but we've had them for ruddy ages and I want to watch Wonder Woman... 

[Benjamin]

Need help. Free night tonight and there's two choices: A Wrinkle in Time or Tomb Raider.

Which one should I go for?

[GhostMachine]

A Wrinkle In Time a classic novel that's finally been made into a film. Tomb Raider is kinda sorta maybe a remake of a video game movie.

I'm actually going to go see A Wrinkle In Time. It's Heidi's birthday present, sort of. Her son paid for tickets for the 3 of us to see Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle yesterday, and is paying for tickets to A Wrinkle In Time today. 

Jumanji: Welcome To The Jungle was funny as hell. Heidi actually was laughing so hard she snorted a few times. I'm not going to give away any major spoilers, but there are some tie-ins to the original movie, beyond the obvious.

Only thing I will give away is that the movie literally picks up where the original left off. The first scene is right after the game is left on the beach in 1996 at the end of the original movie.

I also like that the entire cast is given a chance to shine. It isn't a `Dwayne Johnson, Kevin Hart, then everyone else' movie.
