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.

I am very glad you liked it!

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?

    • I have no agenda just a simple response expressing my thoughts and experience.  
    • Just as one example, the grass in a least some of  the tree pits in Ulverscroft Road appears to have been sprayed. If it's not the council who has done it, then I wonder if someone is trying to kill the trees 😭 although I doubt if that would work, as the council have sprayed tree pits in the past (ignoring handwritten notices by my then very young grandchildren asking them not to spray as they had sowed flower seeds there) 🤬 Grass in the pavement nearby appears to have been neither sprayed nor scraped out. I'm quite confused.
    • They aren't. They are removing them manually, scraping and cutting them out. I've seen them doing it on my road and surrounding roads. I can't imagine that they would have different methods in different parts of East Dulwich.
    • I see. But as I read it, Tesco would still need the agreement of the owners/ leaseholder to submit proposals, so would need Poundland’s cooperation? I suppose we’ll have to wait while this plays out. There’s applications re this site on the Southwark planning portal dating back over 70 years. In 1954, Woolworth’s applied to convert the original 4 shops here (Nos 29-35) into one Woolies but the council refused because the flats above the shops would be lost and there was a local housing shortage following the war. Small businesses being displaced by big chains on Lordship Lane was already a trend back then.
