I haven't watched a
film in bloody ages. Work is busy, homelife is dominated by young people, and
if I get a chance to sit still and stare at a screen, it is invariably tuned to
either Bluey or Paw Patrol; both of which make me question my own sanity.
Having had a glance at the latest offerings on Netflix, though, I'm not
entirely sure that I'm missing out on much. This 'Golden Age of Streaming'
thing seems to have faltered early in its existence, and unless you want to switch
off to something like 'Bullet Train', the fare seems fairly untempting. I may
have to visit my 'Classic DVDs' drawer and start revisiting some old
favourites. It's normally this time of year that I give 'Jaws' its annual
watching, and I picked up a great collection of Clint Eastwood westerns that
I'd like to start making my way through sooner rather than later. Let's be
honest, despite the advances in CGI and the supposed enlightenment of writers,
there's still not much about that can hold a candle to 'The Good, The Bad and The
Ugly'.
