I saw it because it was good to go back to the cinema. There was a film out years ago called Tron, which was Disney and had the protagonists riding motor bikes inside a computer on the printed circuit boards trying to kill each other. Telnet was better but not much.

that was the heyday of tech films - I couldn't even watch beyond 10 mins of the latest star wars (saved it to try again later)

I had a feeling I would think the same, but would go just for the novelty after so many months. I speak as someone who went about twice a week pre covid!

Well I?m going to go against the tide and say I bloody loved it. Not Kenneth Branagh?s atrocious accent or Elizabeth Debicki?s mournful looks (such a waste of a great actress) but the rest was fabulous. Bonkers and in no way scientifically accurate (!) but beautifully shot and nicely wrapped up at the end. Long though.

Saw it, didn't follow it, read the below, still don't know what the hell happened 🤣🤣🤣


I still enjoyed it, though 🤣


We saw it up the road, there were only four people there!

Empire described it as "bonkers". I agree. Bonkers in a good way, though!


All the acting was brilliant, apart from Michael Caine, who just seemed to be going through the motions. But then - he's Michael Caine .....


Oh, and there were a few good jokes amongst the violence 🤣

Are you talking about the fact that Marty didn't have Parkinsons's in the future?

      78 and 363 bus stops

      By Sue · Posted

      I need to go to Asda in the Old Kent Road tomorrow. Theoretically I can get a 78 or 363 bus, but it looks as if the bus stop at East Dulwich Road/Peckham Rye may be closed. I don't know why, but I assume it may be due to gas or water works. Does anybody know if it is just this bus stop, or are other bus stops (or the routes) affected?  I don't want to get a nasty surprise tomorrow, as I have an appointment, so it's time critical.

      Hi, Have you tried reaching out to breed-specific rescue groups or shelters? Sadly, Cavapoos are one of the most exploited breeds in the UK due to their popularity, so due diligence is crucial. Cavapoos do occasionally pop up for adoption, especially puppies. TWB x
