Haven't finished it yet, but Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The movie feels like a fever dream where the Bee Gees play as a small band getting a record deal in Hollywood. Very odd, but the creativity in each scene makes it hard to stop watching.
I watched Pusher. It’s been on my list for a long time to watch. Now I need to make time for pusher 2 and 3.
I just finished The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. I went into it without knowing anything, and was surprised by how much I liked it!
I love a good bromance
I finally got around to watching Deadpool & Wolverine over the weekend. While I enjoyed aspects of it and don't regret watching it, the movie was a reminder of how and why I have Marvel / super hero fatigue.
Also finally got around to watching The Substance and that was much more my cup o' tea. Maybe my standards are just terribly low, but I really liked brief but thoroughly creepy final act. It reminded me of the creature features from the 80's and 90's and their practical effects, even if it was CGI in part.
I felt the same way. It was ok, but I'll never watch it again.
Sonic 3, these movies are actually good lol
The Watchers
It is difficult to describe how exactly it met my expectations. Truly one of the most -whelming viewing experiences.
Ernest scared stupid.
Kinda nice to recluse into childhood nostalgia right now. Also, I’m SO into twin peaks right now too. Almost finished with the first season.
Batman Begins, Pretty good!
We live in time and meet joe black. Gonna watch Werner Herzog‘s Nosferatu later today.
A Real Pain - I didn’t enjoy it. Neither of the main characters was particularly likable. I got exhausted just watching Benji and I can’t imagine having to deal with him in person.
Had an edible on a snowy Sunday and rewatched Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind with my family. It was a damned cozy afternoon.
Avalon 2001 - hilarious film for over 2/3 of a runtime
Just finished green book. I really enjoyed it. Good character development and based on a true story I was not previously familiar with.
John Wick. I don't watch movies very often and hadn't seen it, but I'm working on filling up my media server and that was a recent addition.
What did you think of it? I've been planning to watch it for ages based purely on the hype, but it's not the type of genre I'd usually go for so I'm not sure whether I'll enjoy it.
You watch it for the action. The plot in the first one is decent, but the sequels are just more action scenes.
Finally got around to watching Oppenheimer.
How did you feel about the opening 45 minutes or whatever it was? The constant time skips, loud music in every scene, etc?
The little flashes and loud music were kind of reminiscent of when you’re really deep into a topic or idea that just consumes all your senses. As for the time skips, since I wasn’t familiar with the history I was right the way confused until maybe the second hour.
Admittedly I could only get through the whole thing in three sittings, so some of the momentum of the film might have been lost on me :(
I thought it was fine. Could have been called "Manhattan Project" instead. And as an anti-war American I thought they made a compelling case at the end that the US was "forced" to obliterate all those Japanese civilians, but from a human perspective I still think it was abominable.
It's really funny that people did the "Barbenheimer." The hot pink, light-hearted feminist eye candy into a 3-hour sepiatone drama starring 45 white men. I would have whiplash.
Talk about a palate cleanser!
