I recently saw Rang Song (2021), The Worst Person in the World (2021), and Donnie Darko

Just watched Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. It’s 140% more Nick Cage per Nick Cage than any other film.
Oh, that movie was awesome. Nic Cage is a rollercoaster of an actor
In that vein, i just watched Dream Scenario.
Sounds interesting! Totally didn’t know about it
Im about to go watch Galaxy Quest with the movies community
Last night I watched an old DVD copy of Old School I found on a “free stuff” shelf. Some dated humor but also some really good moments.
Cool community! How do you watch together?
Just click the cytube link in the post!
Big lebowski for the first time. Monkey man yesterday.
Furiosa
My last few movies were:
- Furiosa: it was alright, but the music was really lacking for me which was a big part of why I like the first one. It was also slower which I think is a mistake for something so heavily focused on cars/speed 2.5/5
- Mad Max Fury Road: Now this shit rocks. Action packed, great music, immediately to the point. Much better than the Mel Gibson films, including Thunderdome 4/5
- Cloverfield: I was looking for some horror and heard good things about the other ones. This had cool parts, but even by horror movie standards these protagonists were so insanely stupid I couldn’t focus on the movie. Every decision made was the wrong one 2/5
- Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog: I was drunk and needed to kill an hour. I sang the whole thing and had a great time 4/5
- I saw the TV Glow: This was a rollercoaster. I liked it, then was irritated, then it explained what was happening and I really liked what was happening, then it got to the end and lost me again. I think different editing could have made this better. Still very cool 3.5/5
- Blackberry: I have no idea how close to reality this was but the story was compelling and people felt like a lot of the people I work with in tech. 4/5
Creature Features are the best! I rewatch Cloverfield and The Thing almost annually
Watched Greyhound not too long ago, very engaging the whole way through. If you’re in a mood for a war movie I can’t think of a better one in recent times. May have to sail the seas in another sense though because it’s an apple plus exclusive last I saw.
Nice, I like any movie as long it’s thought provoking or engaging

I’ve been wanting to watch a zombie movie, will check it out. Your post reminded me of Boy Eats Girl (2005), it’s not very good though but has its moments
Recently went on a sci-fi bender starting with both new Dune movies, then Rememory, High Life, Archive, and Tenet. Finished Tenet last night. Still don’t know what it was about!
That’s awesome! Last memorable sci fi movie I watched recently was Coherence (2013)
Good? I’ve since watched Vesper Chronicles, but not sure I’d recommend it.
Is it this one? https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/vesper_2022
I kinda want to watch it. I saw The Royal Hotel (2023) and Triangle of Sadness which also had similar reviews differences, but they both turned out to be a good watch per my estimation
That’s the one, yes. I’d be curious to learn what you thought of it, if you watch it. It reminded me of a mixture between The Shimmer and the dystopian books from that Swedish guy’s artistic stories. His last name starts with “S”.
Do you mean Simon Stålenhag?
Vesper seems interesting, I’m looking forward to watching it!
I think so. I have one of his books and really like it! Just couldn’t remember it and was not in a spot to look it up, unfortunately.
Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul I strongly recommend it to those who are fans of the manga and/or anime of Made in Abyss. The movies pertaining to MiA offer a lot more lore that the anime didn’t really touch upon much
In theaters: Furiosa. Very meh and disappointing compared to Fury Road (which is IMO the best action movie ever).
I was in a movie’s to see it and liked it a lot. It had that vibe I’ve known from the first Mad Max movies and some of the stuff was quite crazy, compared to Fury Road it was even more graphic and twisted, which I liked.
It looked like they just cut their effects budget by a lot. The green screen work was terrible and super apparent. The motorcycles would be obviously riding in a studio instead of on sand (just look at them not affected by any bumps).
A bunch of the CGI was just super obvious and in some places poorly done.
And then the plot had the random love interest and most of the dialogue was bad.
And worst of all
Tap for spoiler
They skipped the final battle completely! What a cop out!!!
Then at the end when they show scenes from the last movie, it was just so obvious how bad the effects were in comparison!
Buena Vista Social Club. It’s about the making of the album and the rich Cuban history is the backdrop. I bought it in 1997, and it’s still such a great album. A nice encapsulation of a type of music that would have died quietly without Ry Cooder.
Love it, I’ll have to watch it. Speaking of movies with a Latin cultural backdrop, I saw a thriller called Bacurau (2019). It’s a little rough around the edges, but has memorable scenes. Some characterization of antagonists was a bit of a caricature, imo
Oh I’ll definitely watch that. I want to watch this other one called Havana Motor Club as well.
Boy Kills World. I laughed the whole time. Such a great action comedy.
Sounds awesome, might give it a go!
I watch 1 or 2 movies a year. The last one was Oppenheimer and I didn’t like it. That’s why I don’t watch movies; I can’t even remember the last good one I saw. In general I feel like CGI has made directors lazy but in Oppenheimer’s case they should have used it for the explosion. It was pathetic.
