Started Bad Sisters on AppleTV last night. Love it! What a dark comedy. Four episodes in and it may be the best show I’ve watched this year.

My wife likes that show, also for the black comedy. Definitely well done, Sharon Horgan doesn’t miss.

Is black comedy the same as dark comedy?

Forgot to mention I saw Heretic in theaters twice last month. By far my favorite movie of 2024. An incredible and unique story and Hugh Grant gave a fantastic performance. Another home run by A24.

@My3Sons would like Heretic

Chalamet, the do everything star.

Dune - for the masses
Wonka - for the kids
Dylan - for the boomers
Interstellar - for the Nolan-heads
A Man Named Scott - for people who like my name
The King - for guys who are over thinking of Rome

Dylan is also for us in Gen Z. He was still Dylan into the 1980s

I am 34, knew little about Bob Dylan. Absolutely loved the movie and now have 8 Dylan songs on my playlist. Hurricane is my favorite

That’s my wife’s favorite. I’m partial to Rainy Day Women 12 & 35, Subterranean Homesick Blues (watch the video for this and then see how many times it’s been copied in the years since), Tabgled Up in Blue, Highway 61 Revisited, Blowin in the Wind and my favorite all time Dylan moment

[NjDevsRR]

@My3Sons Ending up having a terrible nightmare because of that movie. Woke up mid dream and started shoving my girlfriend away from me thinking she was biting me lmao no joke. Can’t remember the last time a movie left that kind of impression on me

So that’s why my wife pushes me away from her when we are going to sleep every night?

According to the interview I saw that voice is all Skarsgaard. No augmentation. Insane work from him in this one. If you haven’t seen the 1922 version watch it after you rewatch the current one. Then watch the 1979 version. They are interesting to compare and contrast

Saw Nosferatu. It rules. What a vibe.

You might say the only problem with it is that the story itself has been told so much, but otherwise, it's a classic version. But all three versions rule and are fairly different from each other. It's funny watching this one a few months after seeing Coppola's Dracula, which is a bit more campy but also worth seeing.

Eggers is the man. Not sure why, but he seems like the only millennial filmmaker who's seen a painting or two in his lifetime.

He had to make Nosferatu since he owed me big time after thr Lighthouse.

Started watching Interior Chinatown. What a weird premise, but they make it work, and Jimmy O Yang is really good in his role.

The surreal nature of the plot and characters of reminds me of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead and Waiting for Godot. Pretty good company to be in.

Ragebait for me

And it works

Luckily I never knew the story of Nosferatu going in which made my viewing experience amazing

Had the word Lovecraftian not been thrown around I would have been fine with the movie. I didn’t like the mixing and matching of myths and I didn’t like the prosaic ending but I wouldn’t have said I was defrauded.

Started the Dune series on Max - first 3 ep are very compelling. Giving a lot of the backstory behind the sisterhood.
