despite this amazing cover, this was a not that great, but still lucio fulci doing running man with too much backstory out of ten

Watched the Elvis movie on a plane. As an Elvis fan, I was expecting to hate it but I ended up enjoying the second half. The first half was pretty tedious though. Props to Austin Butler.
Tom Hanks should never be hired for any role with an accent.

This is the new 2022 Hellraiser? 

Haha yeah, sry typo in the header. I'll fix that burger. 

this film is currently masquerading as some kind of "new age" auteur sci fi film, but it's actually pretty terrible. i think it's that A24 aesthetic and marketing look but the story and whatever they're trying to build around it is laughably not-working

terrible in every way.

Did you watch it on videocassette?

@Squee negative. was too lazy to find a small picture that matched the format i watched it in 

I guess this is the kind of movie with which you have to "sign a contract" at the beginning. Either you accept the rules of that universe, or you reject it. For me it was the latter. Even though on paper the pitch looked interesting, I felt tortured while watching this. This movie says nothing... I demand my 2.5 hour back ! Also, I now hate flangers.

The Big Lebowski.

I finished watching this ... I had started it and not payed attention many times before.

I'm sure there's lots more I can put together and surely many others have already, it may not be entirely inspired by Jesus, or "a day in the life of Jesus" but it was quite apparent to me that I just watched a story of yes; a deadbeat, a lazy man, an artist a dude! But also a redeemer... a Christ.

A dude that hammered his own nails in, and just as Christ, the darkness was inevitable.

It's wonderful how it was depicted with the taste of blissful ignorance, with the dude getting it all wrong to try and keep he's fellow two other crucified from entering he's apartment.

Oh damn, looks fun. Had high hopes for the Wild Boys (same director), but ended up bored to tears even though it ticked a lot of my pleasureboxes. I guess he's all style and very little else.

same director? straight to watchlist...

this franchise is having an identity crisis and used this film to have it. it's 10min shy of 2hrs and one of the two characters in the image above didn't appear for (maybe?) an hour and half. hint: it wasn't the blonde. 

^^^ one of my favorite directors. very curious your thoughts besides 

from the time i wrote the above comment to the time i'm writing this is how long it took me to get over this / zero

btw there's a loop of the beginning of acrid avid jam shred @ 1:05 that's gets layered with some hi-hats @ 1:21 and later with a bunch of other random beat samples...

fight me!

it might be a little pitched up or down though...

Halloween Ends

One of the best comedies I’ve watched the last 12 months.

This one... (activate automatic eng subs)

There is something about the photography in his movies that i find very digital, too defined and realistic. I wonder if his cinema would work even better with a more cinematic analog-esque style of picture. I actually regraded Réalité in davinci for a second viewing and it was definitely a better experience with more colors and less definition.

candace owens has a vendetta with society. she does not like how she is viewed. she says so in the beginning of this documentary in case you couldn't decipher the subtext. she's particularly incensed that nobody believed her cries that BLM was a fake org. and thus- she has made this documentary as a forensic analysis of how "fake" that story is (was?)

in the end, this documentary is really for candace owens. nobody made a documentary to tell her she was right- so she did. and she's super cute for being so petty
