Saw The Gentlemen a few ago. Lots of fun, without being quite as wild and irreverent as Lock, Stock…
One thing though, there was some pretty tasty clobber in the movie. One of the main characters had a nice pair of straight cut, high rise selvedge on. If I were to guess I’d say Dawson, just because of the cut. There were a couple of high end leather jackets, a very slubby type II and a nice pair of olive, herringbone workpants.

In the vein of Ford v Ferrari, there are two good documentaries on Netflix: one on Shelby, the other on Le Mans and the FvF rivalry. Adam Corolla was a producer on both, and his old co-host Jimmy Kimmel held a door for us and was very kind to us at Little Sister, a great Viet restaurant, in Manhattan Beach.

It's such a great story. And so damn sad too, particularly how they did Ken Miles.
Having seen the documentaries, I believe that they should do a prequel and cover more of Carroll Shelby's amazing life as a racer and as an entrepreneur/hustler/huckster/builder, andwhat his crack team of misfits were able to do at Shelby American, particularly around the 427 Cobra and finally beating Ferrari (this is what got Ford's attention as they measured penises with Ferrari), about his visit to Ferrari and how Enzo was a dick to him (surprise), and so forth. There are amazing stories waiting to be told on the big screen, and I would love it if they could parlay the success and interest from FvF into doing so.
The similarities between Shelby and Ferrari (the men) are interesting–both former racers, both wheeler dealers, both founders of excellent scuderias that won major endurance races.

Parasite was great, weird, and had a few unexpected turns to say the least.

We watch 'I don't feel at home in this world anymore' … Hilariously dark and funny. @den1mhead this is another one you might appreciate!

Also watched Ford v. Ferrari a few nights ago. Great movie. Kind of depressing.
Watched 1917 the night before. Really fantastic movie.
I think Midway is next up.

@Stuart.T - on the back of this recommendation by you I suggest you try "Guns Akimbo" with Daniel Radcliffe

I reckon the movie, It Comes At Night, sets the tone for the current pandemic. Next thing you know we’ll be wearing gas masks.
Any other dystopian films you watching?

You know, the other day I was thinking how this whole COVID-19 thing reminds me of that Netflix movie Bird Box in that the virus is this invisible thing lurking outside of your home just waiting to get you.

Haven’t seen Bird Box but will eventually. Films about the apocalypse must’ve surged in popularity recently. I still think John Carpenter’s The Thing also captures the paranoia of not knowing who is infected.

Not a film, but I started watching The Expanse on Amazon for a bit of escapism, only to find the plot revolves around a new bio-hazard about 3/4 the way through the first series !

The Expanse is great [emoji106]
