Also biopics like BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY and ROCKET MAN which play chicken with the facts about Freddie Mercury and Sir Elton John.

Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, however, I find to be 100% truthful and factual. 

It's a shame he died back in the 80s before all those songs he wrote in the 90s came out.

She said she would try to bring me a mummy back from Peru: not sure how she'll get it through customs and excise but anyway 😳😀😄🐢

just had a look at the regulations,  and I think as long as she can prove it's for personal use then it should be okay... 

Well, what else are you going to keep a mummy for?  Public use?

I think ol' Trevor's repeated not-so-subliminal messages over the years might be solely responible for me having never seen DISTRICT 9

Maybe that was Trevor's initial mission? I'm kidding of course, but the constant seeding of District 9 hate over the years almost feels like propaganda.

No offense Trevor

I refer to that movie in my book in less than glowing terms. It was presented and marketed as one of my country's very rare sci fi films. Sadly, it was actually another attempt to make South Africans feel bad about their countries past made by a locally born director.

It is actually very well made with good visual FX, good performances but I dislike it intensely.

Would you had banned District 9 if you ever had the power to do so? 

Personally, I think District 9 isn't a lecture. It's a metaphor, and deliberately uncomfortable. It's not about guilt, it's about the absurdity and cruelty of segregation systems. But that's only my opinion.

LOTR, Magnolia, Burn After Reading

If you want to upset LOTR fans, ask what the problem with Sauron getting the ring back is. It isn't like he could have put it on.

You're Next - Still a really fun film, though I think I've seen it too many times now, some of it gets a little thin eventually.  I appreciate the film reframing who the hunted and hunted are in the last act, something I didn't quite notice the first few times.  Another bit - KPG, the military company the father works for, is the same company Lance Reddick works for in the Guest.  Shared universe it seems.
