THE PERSONAL HISTORY OF DAVID COPPERFIELD
FILM REVIEW
This week would've been the release of a unique & entertaining adaptation of a Dickens classic. I filmed this back in January but sadly now I've no idea when or how the film will be available in the US

@Lons Unfortunately I've seen this film and I do not remember this scene, at all.

@baddestmamajama I drove past a sign for Wetwang the other week and I promise I only laughed a little bit.

Georgia Oakley's incredibly detailed queer drama #BlueJean is one of the year's most impressive movies (via @mcastimovies) https://t.co/2aEHttGSUU

@Lons I'd be more interested to see him up against a xenomorph if we're going down this route. How would the acid affect his skeleton? Just having him fighting with big chunks of flesh missing would be visually interesting. I'm guessing it's already been done.

[Michael Bates @pigmi_warrior]

@brewy_chris @YouTube Fingers crossed for that. I was lucky enough to get the first 3 seasons on DVD for Christmas so at least I can watch them whenever I want. They're definitely my favourites, but I would like to see the new stuff some day.

@ReeseW @netflix I watched #YourPlaceOrMine & that put me onto JUST LIKE HEAVEN, which put me onto HOW DO YOU KNOW. Thank You! for enhancing my Netflix recommendations this week.

@JennyENicholson I'd like to see a Star Trek where they replace the universal translator with google translate results. It would be hilarious. Considering that wikipedia shows 'holle bolle gijs' as 'big mouth' whereas google translates it into 'hollow convex goose' 😂

@filmguy619 My friend just watched her filming in Hull so I looked her up to see what she's currently working on & discovered that bizarrely 'Hanna' is top of her 'known for' list on IMDB. Not Lady Bird, not Little Women, not Brooklyn? Hanna has never really crossed my radar.

@Lons Some cinemas here already charge extra for the most central seating & the funny part is that this just means the best seats are almost always empty. Unless someone just sits in them, because the staff aren't going to police it anyway.

@MasterOfPuns196 I'm still convinced that this film shares a universe with the Grand Theft Auto games

[Michael Bates @pigmi_warrior]

@MeggEmbers I always saw their relationship as mentor/apprentice or father/daughter but the director's cut makes it decidedly romantic. It's creeptacular. Mathilda also gets much more involved with killing people.

@Lons I said this yesterday but Your Name is such a great film & this tweet makes me want to say it again.

[Michael Bates @pigmi_warrior]

The moment of realization in YOUR NAME

[Michael Matteo Rossi @MichaelMatteoRo]

What scene is automatic onion cutting every time? 😪

I'll start:

[Michael Bates @pigmi_warrior]

@aeziggy @MichaelMatteoRo For me it's when he's talking to Agent Banner in the hospital. It comes full circle, back to that opening scene but with the added context of everything they've discovered over the course of the film

[Sundance Film Festival @sundancefest]

They brave the elements with smiles on their faces to ensure attendees have a safe, enjoyable time at #Sundance. This would not be possible without them. Join us as we honor the Volunteers on Volunteer Appreciation Day! 👏👏👏

@NoahHarald A few years back, I remember writing a story about terrorists & wondering the whole time when the NSA would come through my door

[Michael Bates @pigmi_warrior]

Has there ever been a zombie movie/tv/comic where the only people healthy enough to become reanimated are the children? Seems obvious but it makes sense & would be terrifying

[Michael Bates @pigmi_warrior]

@NoContextBrits Secret Diary Of A Call Girl and Fleabag. Both great, funny, sex positive shows that ended on a melancholy note for their heroines. I still hope to see more of Fleabag some day but I doubt we'll ever get to see Belle have a happily ever after. The music in that show is perfect btw
