I don't know the film, a pathetic fallacy is a phrase I came across recently, not a criticism

OK. I hadn't heard of it before. I saw "fallacy" (a flaw in reasoning) together with "pathetic", and it sounded like a rather strong criticism. But apparently it is actually a literary device:

AI Overview

Pathetic fallacy is a literary device where human emotions, feelings, or actions are attributed to inanimate objects, animals, or nature (especially the weather) to create mood, reflect a character's internal state, or add vividness. Coined by John Ruskin, it's a form of personification focused specifically on giving human feelings to the non-human world, like "the angry sea" or "the sun smiled".

Better, when there was less choice/fewer channels. Now the audience is spread thinner, the money for quality is spread thinner too.

Plus all the best films they used to save for Christmas are shown year round.

did they escape?

I saw it, first time around, at the Odeon, Leicester Square. Was worth a watch the first few times around, but gets a bit worn, after the 42nd outing. Only two got away..

Plenty of choice for films across the channels, but much less original content on the beeb. It’s virtually compulsory to have Netflix or Amazon if you want to maximise choice.

I watched one of my all time favourites yesterday - Where Eagles Dare - on my firestick. Wasn’t on terrestrial TV anywhere this Christmas.
