Dark City.
I remember watching it back in college, but didn't remember much of it. However, I saw it getting listed on "underrated" style scifi/fantasy lists and decided to give it a fresh go.

I get what you’re saying. Coens had True Grit, too, don’t forget. But yes, Fargo was huge back in its day. The film world was treating Pulp Fiction like Nevermind and looking for THE NEXT ... everywhere, and I think Fargo benefitted from that. Coens had been making excellent adult films for a decade by then. Also, wasn’t the Caesar one I never saw pretty big? And Buster Scruggs...well, literally was a TV show (for all intents and purposes) on Netflix, so yah. Cool thing is all those Tribeca and TIFF films are made available on digital services like mad. Never used to have that kind of access to them. But yes, the ubiquity of the pew-pew movie is a bit much even for me. No wonder Nolan said fuck that shit and made an immersive and frankly hard-to-Like but utterly brilliant war film. Oh! Dunkirk! That’s one. That happened! That was for adults and also a fucking smash. So was Ladybird, in a way. Just looking on the bright side, I guess. If given the choice between Marvel films of B+ quality and endless Sony X-Men films of D+ quality, I choose Marvel. Choose marvel over Faster & Furioserer Part 19.5 too. |

mujeres al borde de un ataque de nervios (almodóvar 1988)
![]() still one of the funniest movies ever. the dialogue is superhilarious—in spanish anyway (some things might be lost in translation). and visually, it’s brilliant. pure artifice, in the best possible sense. — ah yes, dunkirk, im overdue with that one. i’ll see who has it and when/if. true grit was a remake, and it was good, but wasn’t a cultural phenomenon or something. the supers had taken over the discussion already by then. but before fargo and before pulp fiction there was barton fink, and it did make a big splash. sure it wasn’t the cultural phenomenon that pulp fiction was, but it was widely seen and discussed, and john goodman who was in it was at the time pretty popular in roseanne. so this wasn’t a poverty production. shit, miller’s crossing had quite a stellar cast as well. at least in retrospect. but late 80s still were cranking out plenty of adult-non-porno films so there was money to go around. x-men: x-men 2 was a lot of fun! but so very long ago. didn’t the director turn out to be a perv or something? |

![]() Annihilation The more I reflect back on this the more I like it. I'm not sure I really understood the ending (or if I was even meant to) but fans of films like Solaris, Stalker and Arrival and the more 'cosmic' side of Lovecraft will find a lot to love here. ![]() |

oooo, creepy leper goat!
i would never have been attracted by the movie poster (natalie portman in fatigues), but the weird fauna is intriguing - eh, it’s on prime video! |

where’d you go bernardette
![]() yes yes, im still in love with cate blanchett, who has such great face and acts so incredibly this is a very-unlinklater linklater movie, apparently based on a novel, not linklaterish at all and it was a good but not a glorious film, but cate blanchett was... aaaaaah! and her character was great, great, yeah. sweet story though and... yeah.... “nice” ![]() |

Watched the Deadwood movie the other night. Not really impressed. Seemed phoned in by most of the people involved, cinematography was pretty good, though. I suppose it closed a few story arcs and provided a payday for quite a few folks, but other than that....

![]() This was a good Mexican fantasy/horror movie, in the vein of Guillermo Del Toro's The Devil's Backbone. Highly recommend. |
