Anyway, Bruce is dead, Darth is Luke's father, and Roger Kint was Keyser Soze all along, have a good day

I want to watch a film because I've heard it's good, if someone tells me there's a twist at the end I'm sitting there second guessing everything, it's always better if it hits you unexpectedly 

I think pretty much every film of that genre is going to have twist at the end. I think you'd be pretty naive not to think so.

Didn't know the genre, but if that's true, no need to say it is there.

If you go into a film knowing the end is going to subvert the narrative and flow then it's going to colour your viewing experience, maybe its because you went to film school I dont know.

But having a twist at the end means you are more likely to want to see it.

Because it's a spoiler isn't it, thought that's obvious, a twist should be unexpected

I watched The Housemaid last night. Was a pretty good thriller. Those who lust after Sydney Sweeny will love it.

I do but then I am half Welsh, quarter French and the rest is mostly English with a Scot thrown in.
Think of myself as a British South Londoner as that is where I grew up.

Edit: I pass the Tebbit test though.

I'm 45% jock
37%paddy
17% Creme Anglais.
1% assorted cunts....

Only found out last year ...I'm fucking gutted.

Ironically, O’Connell keeps playing significant British roles such as 79’ as a being hunted by the IRA and as Paddy Mayne, the iconic Northern Irish SAS founder. 

Great actor though. 

Dad’s a sweaty, Mum’s half English, half Jewish, I’m English first, British a close second. 

Born and raised in the East End and now up in Scouseland.

I watched Send Help yesterday. Quite enjoyed it and a nice twist in the end. Not what I expected at all. 

Watched Riff Raff at the weekend, really enjoyed it. 

English then British. Most Scots and Welsh I meet would say the same. I.e. Scots , Welsh first. 

i think the term British is easier for non - British people like the Irish and in the US the term Brits is often used.

Always state I'm English first then British and proud to state both. Born and raised in England to English parents.
