@CinemaTweets1 yep agree complete waste of time - cannot even see what he was trying to achieve with this movie!

Outcome (🌟), directed by Jonah Hill, is atrocious. This film is a disaster on at least three different levels, all of which I intend to dive into during this review. It’s not my style nor is it my preference to really go in on a film like I’m about to, but Hill’s second film as a director is so painfully out of touch, so disgustingly unfunny, and so incredibly unfair to Martin Scorsese, that I have no choice but throw this review down a flight of stairs. Get my guy Marty the hell away from this film & Jonah Hill’s direction as fast as humanly possible. And Keanu Reeves? If you thought you could run from this, you’re not safe either. Outcome is the story about a fictitious actor by the name of Reef Hawk (Reeves), who’s been famous since he was a kid, owns two Oscars & is recovering from a secret heroin addiction. The plot here is so mindlessly stupid I barely have the energy to give it room in this review. The idea here is Reef’s attorney Ira (Jonah Hill) informs Reef that an unknown person is extorting Reef with a viral video of Reef that will tank Reef’s career. This forces Reef, at the behest of Ira, to meet with people from Reef’s past, apologize, atone, and hope he can find the person trying to extort him in the process. His friends Kyle (Cameron Diaz) and Xander (Matt Boomer) stick with him through thick & thin yada yada yada- the story is so fucking stupid. I told you at the top of my review that this movie is a disaster on three levels & I’m going to tell you all three right now. The first is issue is the writing could not be worse. The dialogue between characters sucks, the plot itself is ridiculous, and every attempt at humor falls flat on its face. But what’s most offensive about this film is the plight Reef takes to atone for his past. It’s clearly a cosplay for Hill’s own personal life & image, which has taken a few major hits in the last 6 years. Hill is effectively communicating his own personal feelings through Reef’s journey, and all of it just feels so totally out of touch. Nothing in this script is funny and the way the characters talk amongst each other is just obnoxious. Screenplay = F. The second issue here is Jonah Hill the actor, who tries to upstage Keanu Reeves at every turn & is quite literally “doing the most”. How is this the same Jonah Hill who starred in Superbad? How is this the same Jonah Hill who had me dying when I first saw 21 Jump Street? Hill’s character is supposed to serve as the comic relief throughout the film as Reef goes on a “emotional” journey through his past. But this is some of the worst overacting I’ve seen in awhile. Hill just isn’t funny whatsoever & his performance gave me second-hand embarrassment. Also, his fake teeth & entire wardrobe are just an annoying distraction. The third issue is the filmmaking. Everything about this movie looks utterly awful. This movie takes place in Los Angeles but looks like it was shot completely in front a green screen. For the life of me, I don’t get why Jonah Hill, the director, made such an ugly looking film. But before I go, I have to speak on Keanu Reeves. I am a massive Keanu Reeves fan. Am I going to sit here and suggest I’m the biggest Reeves fan in the world? Definitely not. But I respect him as an artist. That said, what the hell is he thinking picking films like Good Fortune & Outcome, especially in such close proximity to one another? Never mind the fact Reeves is essentially trying to help two quasi-cancelled guys who belong in 2015 get back on their feet, what bothers me more is that neither film is a good use of Reeves’ talents as an actor. His line delivery is so redundant in both Good Fortune & Outcome, his performances in both films feels so similar when his characters are totally different, and I mean that in a bad way. Reeves has comedic chops- see Always Be My Maybe or Something’s Gotta Give or Bill & Ted- this guy can achieve “funny”. But not in these situations. Not with these trash scripts. Reeves needs to do a better job vetting projects & picking films. I would suggest he start by avoiding comedies for the near future & get back to John Wick or The Matrix. Skip this movie at all costs.

can't believe that @tuiuk has a policy where they won't let you upgrade to Premium just one way - only single seats left on return flight so we'd be paying to sit apart - make it make sense 😩

@Emma_h_mua why the NHS is still relying on mail only for appointments I do not know! It is well known the mail is useless now !

What is wrong with the NHS?! I got a warning letter saying I had 5days to book my colonoscopy on Fri, never had an original letter. I rang & rang Fri, no answer, left a message. Today(Mon)I get a letter saying I've been removed from the list coz I haven't contacted them. Wtf!! 😡

@DonnaDlm71 if a DNA test hadn't showed a mix of 19 breeds I would swear our rescue was the same as yours ❤️

Went & got myself a dog. Meet 7mth old , Tibetan Terrier, Bronte. Life is better with a dog.

@TheCinesthetic I loved it! Nice to see something unique for a change

It’s a shame Better Man didn’t connect with audiences. The choice to portray Robbie Williams as a chimp confused many viewers and hurt the film’s promotion, even though it’s essential to the story it tells. One of the last great movie musicals.

@brightonsnapper god that's daylight robbery 😡

Aways expensive Pease Pottage

@linwood_barclay we only managed one & a half eps!

20 minutes into the second last episode of Hijack’s season two and I’m out. No idea what’s going on and not sitting through one more episode to find out.

So gutted - put so much effort in to switch my account to @AskNationwide hoping to get the switching fee and then due to the total incompetence of O2 not moving my direct debit across I missed out 😩

@NickAnt12345 been saying this to anyone who would listen for years!!

To some this may come as no surprise … I have today sampled Branston baked beans and can confirm they are indeed superior to Heinz. Wow

@ThatEricAlper Feargal Sharkey was the support for Madness at Crawley Leisure Centre in the 80s - showing my age !!

Have you ever been to a concert where the support act went on to become famous?

@JacquiDeevoy1 after a major bowel op in '24 the care I received the 1st night was awful - I pressed my buzzer multiple times to no answer - was left in agony with not enough pain relief & was so scared something bad was going to happen I had to call my husband to come in & look after me!

My friend who experienced five deaths around her while she was in ICU after heart surgery asked an interesting question: “Why did all the deaths occur at night?” This is after she told me that the day staff were all lovely but most of the night staff were a different breed altogether: cold, non-empathetic and ‘evil’. Why would this be? What’s going on in NHS hospitals? Has anyone else had any similar experiences?

@rufusjones1 oh I loved that show ❤️

Very happy to report that both series of Home are now back available on Channel 4’s website. Check it, now more than ever.

@fesshole went to see him in Brighton & he did zero interaction with the crowd - he just left the stage at the end and didn't say anything while the band kept playing! very odd man

Once interviewed Van Morrison and it was even worse than I feared. He hid behind sunglasses and under a daft hat, mute, while his fluffer kept saying "The Man will not answer that". My editor ordered me not to mention that at the time, so here I am.

@AdmiralUK cannot seem to login or message you. I need to speak about my renewal. Thank you.

@BritishComedy 🎉🎉🎉

@BestMovieMom thought it was a really great film !

Warner Bros refused to give Juror #2 (2024) a wide release. Despite outstanding reviews and being Clint Eastwood's potentially final film, the studio buried it in less than 50 theaters with zero marketing, sparking industry outrage.

@thegirlchlo_ They won’t let you get any other time train for your journey so if you finish your day slightly early you’re screwed - I now use Trainpal as you can get on any other time train within peak/off peak times!

I hate how Trainline markets itself as the only place you can buy tickets (and people believe it), but it is such a problematic app which sells trains that dont actually exist, overcharges for some tickets and had crap customer service. DO NOT USE TRAINLINE

@classic_shows @DreyfusJames one of the best !

On this day this hit our screens Gimme Gimme Gimme is a BBC sitcom that was first aired in three series from (8 January 1999 – 14 December 2001) with Kathy Burke, who stars as Linda and James Dreyfus co-starring as her flatmate Tom. @DreyfusJames

@BradfemlyWalsh i was given full anaesthetic for my hysteroscopy but previously had a colcoscopy with zero pain relief and almost passed out in agony!!

Want to talk about medical misogyny? I was due to have a hysteroscopy (v painful gynae procedure) next week with sedation. I rang with a mundane question and the staff were confused, saying no sedation is booked. After being put through to various people, I finally got an answer:

@HarlanCoben @netflix We're hooked! 4 eps done today & can't wait to see how it all unfolds

Friends, I'm thrilled to tell you that all 8 episodes of RUN AWAY are now streaming on @netflix. Hope you enjoy it.
