Well it was lovely being in a proper cinema (Curzon Soho) with lots of other people (well, about 12) but Tenet? Ghastly; like a bad Bond; incomprehensible (I did turn my deaf aid up to max); too clever by half; no plot; no script; wooden acting. Spectacular stunts and set pieces. How critics can call it a masterpiece? I wanted to leave after 60 mins; did at 90. Rubbish. If you want good action movies I recommend early Bourne with Damon or Cruise best Missions or Bond at best.

Seems to be the norm these days. I miss the thought provoking, psychological thrillers. Heard Unhinged is only mediocre but I don't like Russell Crowe, he's very wooden and mumbles like a homeless whino.

Bill & Ted Face the Music Is something I will watch purely, strictly for nostalgia.

I still remember the loud gasps and a few "holy fuck" in the cinema when the song Breakaway by Big Pig played at the beginning of Bill and Ted Excellent Adventure.

Tenet must have a decent score or soundtrack at least JK ?

I thought you were referring to David Tennet as the mass murderer Denis Nilsen who he looks so much like in the publicity photos.

Very much looking forward to that.

I saw Nilsen once drinking in a Soho pub from the other side of the room. I recall at the time thinking what a hideous creepy looking man he was and wondered how such a gay unattractive man like him could ever attract anyone.

Could have knocked me down with a feather when 18 months later all was revealed.

He worked in a job centre. I lived near one in the mid noughties, I don't know who were unemployed and who were the staff. Security guards looked like footie yobs.

What made Dennis creepy in the pub - did he smile and give you a wink ?

I was chatted up by a male forensic scientist.

you should have taken notice of that scientist.
Nilsen had the most alarming and dark aura. I'm sensitive to these things.

I felt so sorry for those he murdered..such lonely guys who thought he was their only salvation. London could be tough then.

2 pals saw this movie today and said it was ghastly.

I don't really pick up on auras. I told the scientist that I was straight; he walked off kicking a stone hard.

The pub can be a great but depressing places. I have seen men cry trying to drink their deep pasts away.

Going to a pub can be a great place to hear advice. I seen young men scouting around the patrons after last orders, seeing if they could just crash on the sofa for a night after closing time. Just so they don't go back to loneliness or to a crap, boring bedsit.
