Batman Begins, Pretty good!
We live in time and meet joe black. Gonna watch Werner Herzog‘s Nosferatu later today.
I just finished The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. I went into it without knowing anything, and was surprised by how much I liked it!
The Watchers
It is difficult to describe how exactly it met my expectations. Truly one of the most -whelming viewing experiences.
Ernest scared stupid.
Kinda nice to recluse into childhood nostalgia right now. Also, I’m SO into twin peaks right now too. Almost finished with the first season.
Childhood trauma® unlocked.
I was promised that if I got good grades in school one year, that my parents would take me to go see a movie in the movie theater. I grew up barely middle class poor, so while I was never starving growing up, going to a movie theater to see a movie was a huge freakin’ deal. The opportunity to see any movie I wanted was the icing on the cake, because most of the time I got to see movies in the theater it’s because other family members were taking me and they wanted to see “kids stuff”.
So, the time comes to pick my movie. I was ecstatic about seeing People Under The Stairs and so ready to experience that. Last minute change of plans, though. Somehow or another, my mom got forced into taking my cousin. He was absolutely terrified of anything remotely scary, so People Under The Stairs was completely off the table, but he was adamant that we needed to go see a different “horror movie”, Earnest Scared Stupid.
I’m still pissed to this day. It’s obviously not Wes Craven’s best known horror movie, but it was and still is a decent movie and I missed out on seeing it in a theater.
I finally got around to watching Deadpool & Wolverine over the weekend. While I enjoyed aspects of it and don’t regret watching it, the movie was a reminder of how and why I have Marvel / super hero fatigue.
Also finally got around to watching The Substance and that was much more my cup o’ tea. Maybe my standards are just terribly low, but I really liked brief but thoroughly creepy final act. It reminded me of the creature features from the 80’s and 90’s and their practical effects, even if it was CGI in part.
Repo Man, Nimona, The Magician’s Elephant, Migration, The Monkey King
Sonic 3, these movies are actually good lol
I was out and about today and drove past a drive-in theater that’s showing Sonic 3. If it wasn’t so freakin’ cold in my part of the world, I might’ve considered going there to see it … for reasons. Granted, I barely remember the first Sonic movie and I haven’t gotten to see part 2 yet.
Finally got around to watching Oppenheimer.
I thought it was fine. Could have been called “Manhattan Project” instead. And as an anti-war American I thought they made a compelling case at the end that the US was “forced” to obliterate all those Japanese civilians, but from a human perspective I still think it was abominable.
It’s really funny that people did the “Barbenheimer.” The hot pink, light-hearted feminist eye candy into a 3-hour sepiatone drama starring 45 white men. I would have whiplash.
Watched Rare Exports even though it’s not Christmas anymore. It was awesome. Seen part 1 and 2 of the original shorts too.
John Wick. I don’t watch movies very often and hadn’t seen it, but I’m working on filling up my media server and that was a recent addition.
A Real Pain - I didn’t enjoy it. Neither of the main characters was particularly likable. I got exhausted just watching Benji and I can’t imagine having to deal with him in person.
Had an edible on a snowy Sunday and rewatched Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind with my family. It was a damned cozy afternoon.
On the basis of sex . Really interesting movie. We have come a long way but still have more to go.
