Der Baader Meinhof Komplex (2008)

back to Satoshi Kon real quick. this should be enough to get most into checking out his work

Mandibles (2020)

I loved every second of this movie. Sort of like a French Dumb and Dumber. Like every Quentin Dupieux movie, it's so absurd that it's charming. Can't recommend it enough!

I rewatched Event Horizon last year and it was awesome ! Sam Neil's modified Australian Flag (to have the Australian aboriginal flag in the corner instead of the Union Jack) was a nice touch:

 

I have seen that they are developing an Event Horizon TV series at Amazon which will most likely be absolutely terrible.

I don’t think I’ve watched one original show on Amazon, but it has all seasons of The Americans.  

Human Traffic (1999)

Amazon also has the boys, which is the best superhero thing.

Shame really, should've just left it alone. I assume it's gonna be a shit sequel of a cult film like Trainspotting 2.

this was brilliant. loved every second of it. 

watched this right after. basically, louis theroux's therapy for missing out on the tiger king craze despite interviewing joe exotic before the netflix doc ever happened- then realizing most of those guys signed a contract prohibiting them of participating in another doc about tiger king. bummer

another great documentary about the college administration scandal of 2019

Just watched Machete. Thought it sucked. I thought it was gonna be a rollercoaster of sexy birds, blood, violence and jokes. 50% of it was, the other half was dull. How is that even possible? Robert de Niro bunny hopping with his feet and hands tied was hilarious as was something about shooting the pecker off a mosquito at 1000 ft. Should of been much, much better. But I’ll give it a 7/10 an extra point for Michelle R. So tasty.

Anyone seen Creep (2014)? If so is it worth a watch? heard mixed reviews so was wondering.

i thought it's great. the villain guy is creepy and the way it's acted and shot good. the second one is good too, less so than the first but serious serial killer vs woman old school style vibe in the end which is different from the first one. they both have their thing

saw Wrong Turn (2021)

it's actually alright. way different from all the earlier wrong turn sequels. takes a more "realistic" route. it has many flaws I guess but overall decent.

saw Belladonna of Sadness, a beautifully made anime film born of 1960s psychedelic culture. overall it's a slow, sleepy, organic, atmospheric way to enjoy 90 minutes in a dark room - that being said, there are more than a few sexual/violent scenes that really caught me off guard. it goes from "Miffy" to "A Clockwork Orange" in a heartbeat.

overall i think despite the curveballs, there is a definite creative vision here which is worth watching. i'd describe it as a mixture of Yellow Submarine and Perfect Blue.

pretty interesting and strangely intriguing documentary about the largest retirement home in .us (basically disney world for geriatrics) and the various old fogies living there. sometimes it's filmed like a narrative feature, while the rest of the time it's a straight doc- and produced by darren "i ripped off perfect blue' aronofsky.

Creep 1 & 2 were both above average found footage films n' very enjoyable. 

Made it 20 mins into the new Wrong Turn before deciding to revisit the early ones instead (the first two are solid) 

This rainy weekend spent chilliin in Andy Sidaris' 1990s Hawaii utopia land with Hard Ticket to Hawaii, Picasso Trigger and Hard Hunted

Just got done watching Creep and thoroughly enjoyed it, gonna watch 2 sooner or later.

Good Time (2017) - I assume most of you have seen it considering Oneohtrix Point Never did the soundtrack but it's good if you haven't already seen it.

bollocks to Oneotrix point Hipster. 

Good Time was a dam good time

good time is the better film but uncut gems has the better score.
