Robert Redford has died at 89 years old.
The film icon starred in classic movies such as "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" and "All the President's Men," won an Oscar for directing “Ordinary People” and founded the Sundance Film Institute.

Cinephiles in their 20s used to pick apart Casavettes and Altman and Varda and now it’s like dude look how sick this shot from How To Train Your Dragon looks
@PhilipProudfoot@ObserverUK What's there to apologise for? I consider myself a left-leaning centrist, and I found it pretty funny. Not fall down laughing hilarious, but certainly amusing. I didn't see anything offensive or particularly insulting about it. Evidently though I'm in the few (not the many).
Re: Odyssey tickets
I just don’t think it’s a good idea to treat movies like concerts. If this becomes a regular thing, people are going to buy and flip tickets like crazy. The movies should be for everyone, not freaks and opportunists.
@HunkyKubrick @NielsAnderzen@BBFC To give you an idea of where their priorities lie these days, their new website has a section called "Managing Your Child's First Phone".
@HunkyKubrick @NielsAnderzen@BBFC The BBFC are now as much a parenting resource group as they are a film classification board - "View what's right for you" is firmly within the context of helping children and parents decide what's appropriate, rather than the BBFC positioning themselves as moral arbiters.
The BBFC have redesigned their website, removing yet more useful material (most of the case studies have gone). It seems you can no longer access the recent decisions page unless you already know the URL - bookmark this:

@FB_BMB I haven't seen either of these films, although I got the trailer for this one before The Surfer and thought it looked to be aimed at a very young audience, like 11/12 year olds. The BBFC should use films like this and Five Nights At Freddy's in their next public consultation.
@ioscine I'm pretty sure it's been cancelled now. It disappeared from the UK release schedule over a month ago, and since then the distributor has set dates for a number of their other upcoming films. They've also removed everything related to it from their socials. @EFDFilms
@FB_BMB 18 in Ireland too, which is pretty rare now - The Substance was only a 16 (which I think was fine).
And perhaps not something I should ask on a public account, but, erm, is Thea Sofie Loch Naess nude in this?
@lacewatchfilms@eddbot It's showing widely elsewhere. I imagine there's been a dispute between Odeon and the distributor, as happened with The Zone Of Interest, Dream Scenario and Bottoms.
