Watching it too. Brilliant film
Does that happen in baseball where you could
Be togging out for one team and nearly end up being traded to opposition in an instance or is it exaggerated for the film ?
Think so, yeah. Rough for the player.

I’ve heard of players being traded to the opposition during batting practice/warmup
Players have been traded mid game quite often

The scene at the end when he listens to the daughter’s tape , I was filling up and I don’t mean at the petrol station 
Reading Hamnet before I go to the film
It’s magnificent. We have some writers here.

Just off the phone to someone who was saying the book was amazing.
Could you not just have taken @TheUlteriorMotive’s word for it?

I’m going to see the movie later
21 Jump Street is an underrated gem, as is the sequel.
It’s not terrible but it isn’t a good movie IMO,
Jessie Buckley’s performance is superb in fairness, but it didn’t develop the characters nearly well enough and the final scene while quite powerful doesn’t make a whole pile of sense
4/10
Marty Supreme has a strong Uncut Gems feel to it.

Watched Nuremberg there on Sky Cinema. Solid film. 7/10. Russell Crowe excellent as the baddie, Rami Malek not so excellent in the lead role. The professional ethics were all over the place, especially from the lawyers and the psychiatrists.

I’d lean more towards a 6/10. But agree with all that. There was the makings of a brilliant movie there but we mostly got fluff
The talented mr ripley, middlemarch, to kill a mockingbird, frankenstein, wuthering heights, good behaviour, middlemarch.
A short enough list, but all colossi

You’ve not contradicted my statement there.

Jessie Buckley constantly going on about how much she loves Paul Mescall is a small bit weird.
