Went to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood with the wife and friends on Saturday. I walked out after an hour and ten minutes and went to a diner and nursed a cup of tea for the final 1.5 hours of the movie.

When you walk into a movie theatre and ask what;s on next you sometimes get surprised.
Tonight a movie spin-off from a popular Japanese office comedy. The acting bordered on slapstick with over slushy and convoluted story lines and a cliche of Hong Kong street life montage to open with.

Would I recommend it - No
Glad I watched it - Yes, not so often you realise how normalised a Japanese gay office comedy can be (is)
Martin Scorsese: I Said Marvel Movies Aren’t Cinema. Let Me Explain
Many of the elements that define cinema as I know it are there in Marvel pictures. What’s not there is revelation, mystery or genuine emotional danger. Nothing is at risk. The pictures are made to satisfy a specific set of demands, and they are designed as variations on a finite number of themes.
Yes, online disruption is going to affect everything we do, and the trigger has been pulled... Retail ie food/entertainment/transportation hailing services ( the GIG economy of the workplace aka poverty porn for billionaires ) as it removes the physical opportunity from life.
There has been a lot of unhappy talk about the affect that Netflix will have as they ignore the 90 day cinematic release rule, as millennial's just dont want to leave their homes ( it seems ) having everything delivered at the expense of physical locations. ie the death of the shopping mall, retail shops in general,mainstream owner operated restaurants, supermarkets and the cineplex will be erased from our world as we knew them last century, this century.

As my parents had flown up to visit, my father and I ( yesterday ) decided to go and see Ford VS Ferrari at our local cineplex, which I will say right now, was a thoroughly enjoyable film,the best film I've seen for ages to be fair.
Matt Damon plays the late Carroll Shelby like the pro that he is. It just captured the time, the intense competitive rivalry between the very proud Enzo Ferrari and the brash and mildly pissed off Henry Ford II after their offer to buy Ferrari out went to shiz. But the real stars and story of the movie was between Carroll Shelby played by Matt Damon and his close friend and fellow race driver, Ken Miles, who was superbly played by Christian Bale.
The film had some very funny moments that had my father and I laughing our heads off here and there, just a great movie from start to finish and if anybody is wondering, this is what the Americans are the best at, ( when they get it right ) making thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining films, 2.5 hours of pure escapism. 4.5 out of 5 stars from me...
Here's one of many reviews that pretty much express what I felt once the end credits started rolling.
