watched The Vanishing with the wifey this weekend. Never seen Jeff bridges play a fucking psycho before. quite well done portraying the true nature of the psychopath mentality.

^ be sure to check out the Dutch original version of that, much superior, IMO
now watching The Shape of Water, about halfway thru.... It's another fairy tale. This one, however appears to be for a much lower age demographic than Pan's. Not really much I liked about it. The soundtrack is pretty awful, too. |

lethal weapon 4 lol— same broken record as the previous 3. awful and obnoxiously superloud and the same old jokes on and on and on. but it’s done now.
the only good thing about it was jet li. next, to try finishing highlander (the original). what a chore! getting all these cultural references is like homework lol. |
Suburbicon. Definitely lower in the pantheon of Coen Bros movies, but it still had a typical Coen story, well told. Dialog wasn't up to their standards, either. Still better than a couple of ^^ ones

But Clooney directed that. Only really a Coens film if they wrote and directed and did all the whatshit and whosits. Do we call Natural Born Killers a “Tarantino movie?” Nah. ‘Sa Clooney joint. |
i watched more garbage today while sorting paperwork. shit like
GAME OVER DUDE - a die hard inspired ridiculousness from the workaholics team. funny but you didn’t have to look the whole time. ALONG CAME POLLY - garbage movie but some goofy laughs and aniston was hot. it did not get in the way of work! stiller was razzie-nominated for this. 10 RULES FOR SLEEPING AROUND - truly awful plastic bitches and dorks galore. 0/10. nevertheless we kept it on while the evernote got sorted. productive! |
Spaceballs. It was still fun, which is all I could've really hoped for.

Agreed. It'd be a shame if people are treating the US version as the standard one. |

FilmStruck is on the Roku device as of earlier this year. It's f'in goooooodddd. All Criterion available. TCM movies available. And they curate specialized films each month for a limited time. Right now, one can stream some pretty hard to find Agnes Varda films in recognition of her recent Oscar nom for "Faces Places". Hardcore film fans need this service. |
Star Wars: The Last Jedi
... What the hell was so “controversial” about this? Seriously. It was a fun Star Wars movie. Probably the second or third best one. Actually definitely the second best one. Nothing controversial to me. Alt-righters hating on the feminist agenda? Fuck it. This movie was a delight! I was actually a little let down because I was expecting some dark ass crazy shit like main characters going evil or something, but... why the hell was half the fandom’s problem with this exactly? Possibly better than Force Awakens! Love that Adam Driver man. If he lost 70lbs of muscle and went on a liquid only diet for a month, wore glasses and shrank a foot, he could play me! |

forgot to say earlier, thanks for this, it had flown undetected past my radar, and yeah, 100 bucks a year is pretty sweet! i’ll subscribe in the summer. right now i’m pretty swamped, so shitty movies that don’t demand 100% help me do extra work in the weekends ha ha ha ha. trash: it has its place in life (see my recent movies above, lol) Quote:
right? better than the original for me. sure, a different century, but still... this comes after fully digesting and absorbing cyberpunk. |

I use their subscription service regularly and it's pretty great. They also have tons of great movies to rent at reasonable prices. |

I thought it a much more developed and thoughtful film than the first, which I have seen countless times, in many versions, and which still has some very muddled plotting. I enjoyed it so much. made me think about self and identity and what is a cognitive truth, and what right does anyone have to decide if someone or something can be self-determinant. Lots of cool shit. Visually AMAZING. |

I loved when after all the verbosity from the Jared Leto character, all Deckard says is "I know what's real."
