Pillion

[VoR]

Based on the novel Box Hill by Adam Mars-Jones about a sub-dom relationship between a young man (aged up for the film) and a biker.

 

[Lucille]

Oh I can’t WAIT!

 

[Shirley]

Not really my CUP OF KYLIE but I can see why I MIGHT HAVE TO WATCH IT ANYWAY

 

[jyxz]

Oh I didn’t realise it was based on Box Hill

 

[lolly]

I'm quite certain I won't be able to watch it in the cinema

 

[funky]

I'm quite certain I won't be able to watch it in the cinema

Depends on the cinema…

Oh no wait I think they closed all of those down.

 

[PercyPig]

“They”?

Tell us your conspiracy theory @funky

 

[jyxz]

“They”?

Tell us your conspiracy theory @funky

Was it Che Diaz?

 

[Shirley]

Oh I didn’t realise it was based on Box Hill

Are Adam Mars-Jones' books any GOOD? I'm fairly sure he's on my list of people who are ANNOYING, but WHY is LOST IN THE MISTS OF TIME

[Lucille]

Help.

 

[jyxz]

Is that you gurning and drooling behind @Lucille ?

[VoR]

I fear we’re mere hours away from a 15 paragraph instagram post about the problematic nature of Alexandra Skarsgård’s queerbaiting going viral.

 

[rhythmbandit]

He knows exactly who his audience are. Thank you, Alexander.

 

[Finn]

A fun crowd at the premiere

 

[lolly]

 

[supermassive]

Well that was kinda sad, maybe I’m kink shaming but what a pathetic existence for both sides.

 

[jivafox]

I wish I hadn’t read the book first

The wrestling scene though!!!!!

 

[Ellie]

I couldn’t not see Colin as some kind of offspring of Micky Flanagan.

Thanks to reading this comment, that’s all I could think about for the whole film

 

[jyxz]

And also how much I loathe barbershop quartets

 

[Lucille]

So what are we rating this on a scale of Queer to Call me by Your Name?

 

[Lucille]

Ellie giving it 4 makes me suspect it’s quite good.

 

[Finn]

I quite liked this - it kept me throughout, but I didn't especially care.

Loved the dynamic with the family in particular. It felt out of the ordinary but I believed it completely. Lesley Sharp obvs had the best scene.

Not sure I ever fully believed in Ray. It would have been good to find out more about him.

 

[rhythmbandit]

Alexander was on the Graham Norton show last night alongside Miriam Morgoyles who had a face on her when he was explaining the film.

 

[Ellie]

Miriam was asking all of the questions no one else would ask, but they all wanted to!

I also love Miriam’s strong and consistent vocal dislike of Mamma Mia!

 

[lolly]

Was it mentioned again because of Stellan?

 

[Ellie]

Was it mentioned again because of Stellan?

Yes.

 

[Halli]

Seeing this Wednesday. Only my 5th cinema trip of the year I think. 2026 will be different.

 

[lolly]

I've not watched it yet, but have seen a clip of her revisiting one of the stories she did when Will I Am was on there as well. Presumably she's doing a greatest hits to help sell her book

I must download the new one, actually

 

[lolly]

 

[straightorbroken]

So what's the nudity like?

 

[jivafox]

A bit of arse and a quick glimpse of prosthetic cock!

 

[straightorbroken]

That could be my first cinematic prosthetic cock since some Edinburgh Festival movie I saw years ago.

Sold obviously.

 

[Agneeta]

Cindy Beale loves gay rights

 

[straightorbroken]

If she loved the gays so much she'd put her Sunburn music video on YouTube where it belongs.

 

[Jacques]

Well I won't be able to listen to Tiffany in the same way ever again.

I really enjoyed the family dinner scene, I thought the mum should shut her mouth and let her son get on with being fucked in a field if that's what he wants from life, so it was a bit awkward when it then cut to her funeral.

 

[Halli]

Seeing this tonight..
