Wise.

My war is not over.

@Captain Dave Poulin @JojoTheWhale @BiggE they got the look down but yeah the talking part was rough.

Just saw Godzilla Minus One

It f***ing ruled!

It really is an actual, excellent film.

He’s got the mannerisms down.

Silo was solid. Didn't blow me away, but it's twisty enough that I didn't figure it out.

I saw X last night. Maybe I'm just not into slashers. I'm kinda shocked it's part of a trilogy.

Have you seen Poor Things yet? I know reviews are mixed, but based on the reaction in some communities and how much I enjoyed some of his other movies, I’m thinking I should make time.

I've yet to see a Yorgos Lanthimos movie. Should probably get on that... Would probably start with Poor Things or The Lobster.

The Favourite was very good

The Lobster is my favorite Yorgos movie. I don’t know if I’ll see Poor Things in theaters, but it seems like a good family friendly film.

I enjoyed The Lobster and KoaSD quite a bit. The former in particular is definitely worth your time.

Really enjoy Yellowstone and loved sicario. So when I went down the rabbit hole and decided to watch Wind River—wow. Incredible crime drama with the lesser avengers and the lesser Yellowstone cast.

Nicolas Cage surprisingly good in the dark comedy Dream Scenario. Entertaining movie...

Scavengers Reign.

12-episode X 30 minute American sci-fi anime TV series. Light on plot, heavy on high quality animation and heavy +++ on world-building. And a pretty impressive set of body horror insertions throughout, that's kind of the main setting planet's r'aison d'etre. Bit of a thinker, but more of a pure visual entertainment, very happy to have had it suggested to me.

Saw Poor Things yesterday. It’s even weirder than The Lobster. I enjoyed it but it can belabor the point at times and probably would have been better had Lanthimos cut 20 minutes. Stone is absolutely brilliant and I'm sure a frontrunner for an Oscar, and Dafoe is grand. Stylistically, it happily steals from Burton, Wes Anderson, Jeunet & Caro, and Lynch, blends all of that into a bloody pulp, and then dials it up to 11.

Everyone's comfort level for familial awkwardness resulting from watching sex on screen together is different, but strong recommendation not to watch this with parents and/or children; I'm quite glad I didn't go see this with my college-aged cinephile / Lanthimos superfan daughter.

Also, if you haven't already, go watch Anatomy of a Fall. Hüller should also be a frontrunner for Best Actress.

I watched Babes in Toyland last night (Laurel & Hardy version).

He was good in Renfield

I highly recommend Pig if you haven't seen it yet. Dude should of gotten the Best Oscar nod for it.

I watch Mayor of Kingstown. It’s made by the same writer (Taylor Sheridan) of those shows/movies. Not saying it’s of the thought provoking variety but I enjoy it. Same with Tulsa King.

Thanks for the recommendation. Just viewed it. Very good performance and lots of meaning in that movie. True film...

What if Obi-Wan led the stormtroopers to the Skywalker ranch so that Luke would feel free to leave Tatooine?

Add "The Deuce" - set in the 1970s - to the list of shows which moronically have a character say "We got this" before that tsunami of horse shit ever actually struck Western society.

 

[Embiid]

Well...saying this sheepishly but on New Year's finally broke the seal and watched Shawshank Redemption. Don't ask why I waited so long....just one of those mental movie blocks.
