Saw this today. First time I saw a Gaspar Noe film in the theatre. I really enjoyed this. There are definite Noe moments in this film, yet it feels different to anything he's done. As far as I know this is the first of his movies that is considered a horror film. |

Watched the Free Solo documentary on Hulu. I'm still waiting for my nuts to drop back out and my ass to stop puckering. The last 20 minutes or so contains some of the most intense viewing ever.

Amazing film. What he did stands a monument to human achievement both physically and mentally. I've loved how much success that film has had.

Yeah in-fucking-credible. I was sort of forced to watch it by someone who'd already seen it. I knew nothing about it and honestly thought I was being told to watch something Star Wars related ... but fuck me. Wow!

Wool 100%....somewhat enjoyably Japanese weird. Pretty creepy animation sequence midway thru made it worthwhile, all in all.

Ya, I had to be told it was on Hulu. Not sure when they put it on there, but had to be recently. I was trying to find a stream of it a few months ago with no luck. Lot's of people are talking about it after the Oscars for sure though. And the success is well-deserved. |

The funniest part of Free Solo was when Han was speaking Wookie to Chewbacca

Outlaw Josey Wales A stone-classic, and unusual for being one of the few broadly pro-Confederate Westerns I can think of. Everyone knows Clint's an iconic actor but he's also a hugely underrated director and I'd say this is his greatest film, both as actor and director. |

I've actually been meaning to choose that for film night. As always something else turns up that I want to watch.
Last night's film was She Wore a Yellow Ribbon. I could have sworn I'd seen this already but I didn't remember anything about it. It was pretty good. I certainly enjoyed it more than the others watching it with me. I will say this though, John Ford's comedic characters are always terrible. Either it's a drunk Irishman or an idiot hick hamming it up.

Netflix, The Dirt.
Best thing ever! Judge if you want, but Motley Crue are pretty much everything that got me into rock music. Bought Girls, Girls, Girls when 10 or 11 or so. They were the first band that I ever went and checked the "back catalog" of albums after that and became a true "fan" of. I mean, the movie is technically fairly shit from a technical, overanalyzed, perspective. Not going to expect a lot from the Jackass director. But I sure had a hell of a good time watching it. |

I've never seen the documentary but definitely will. I got about 2/3 of the way through the book and enjoyed it until it just started feeling like page after page of the same thing. There's only so many times I can read about another drug-fueled orgy before I just switch off. Always had a soft spot for Motley Crue, though. |

It's great! Very different to the Spaghettis, High Plains Drifter, etc. Not really like any Western that springs to mind. And it's the film where the line "you gonna pull those pistols or whistle dixie?" came from. |

Us was pretty good but I feel like Peele needs to further his ideas even more and stop relying on so many plot devices to stitch the ideas together. Get Out worked better for me but I recognise how more refined his directing is this time round.
Other films seen recently that I liked: Q: The Winged Serpent (Larry Cohen, 1982) Night Tide (Curtis Harrington, 1961) The Legend of the Stardust Brothers (Makoto Tezuka, 1985) Sombre (Philippe Grandrieux, 1998) A New Life (Philippe Grandrieux, 2002) |

I've been doing plenty of this so far. 'Killer Cars', 'Like Spinning Plates', 'Where I End and You Begin', and 'Everything In Its Right Place' have all made appearances.

Unfortunately, don't watch many movies these days. But I watched At Eternity's Gate on a plane ride. Recently finished reading a Van Gogh biography, Van Gogh: A Life, which made the movie more satisfying. A lot of shots of Willem Dafoe, as Van Gogh, 'seeing' what others don't, but overall good.
