I watched Lawrence of Arabia yesterday, quite the long journey of a film. Well worth it, excellent film. Interesting period piece. Can see why it won best picture the year it came out.

8/10
 
^ Thank you for that. I haven't seen any movies lately, only TV shows...so I couldn't change the bleak subject matter. Certain things need to be exposed though and I will never apologize for that because they've been getting away with it for far too long.

No one has seen Adam Sandler's 'Uncut Gems' yet? My friend watched it 3 times at the theater. He said it's really good, but that's a bit much. Haha

The Texas Vibrator Massacre - 4 out of 5 dildo's - This was FUN! It was actually more brutal and gory than the movie it parodies and it's funny, too. Warning, though, this is a PORN parody. And also has graphic violence. So not for the easily offended. Also contains *throws up in mouth* straight sex.
 
I loved Hidden Figures. Who knew black women played such a major part at NASA? They were math geniuses and a huge part of history. That history was disgustingly hidden like a lot of things are.
 
Midsommar

like a lot of good horror movies, it was fun to in a group but would have been boring by myself. nice color grading. like it's filmed on color positive film. it's not. the cinematographer says they tested 35mm but preferred the look of digital -- right.

there were some continuity errors. how did they stuff the hides of the two elderly to burn them at the end if they'd already burned them over that grate and put their ashes with the special tree?

on the figurative level, the whole thing is her psychedelic trip. we see the little girl starring down the giant bear in the painting above her bead at the beginning. during, she deals with how to live with the death of her family and move on from her shitty boyfriend. facing her demons. on the literal level, people get killed.

"be afraid of the light" is a fun flipping of a trope.
 
The Danish Girl (2015)

The acting was decent, I think the supporting actress won the Academy Award for it. The film kinda drug on and felt like a tear-jerker but I didn't cry. I ended up enjoying it enough to say it's an average drama film, but overall I'd say I wouldn't give it a second watch.

6/10

It's a beautiful movie to look at. In the end, I saw her as being a slave to the devil. The people at the festival were in the occult so by her becoming a leader, now she's a slave to their bullshit. I didn't see her winning or overcoming anything. She was tricked like the rest of them who attended that festival.

They stupidly took every hallucinogenic drug and drink given to them, over and over again. It dumbed them down. It made them sheep easily led to the slaughter.
 
Angel Heart is excellent with Mickey Rourke, Robert De Niro and Lisa Bonet (1987)

It's about a musician who sells his soul to become famous and he vanishes. A guy is hired to go looking for answers about what happened to him and gets caught up in a lot of danger and dark magic, occult activities.
 


Spring. I watched this because I enjoyed their (Justin Benson, Aaron Moorhead's) more recent film The Endless, and thought this might be good. It was aright. The monster aspect dips into genre-movie territory as the romance tries to be more avante-garde and the plots seem discordant. Still, it was a fun watch.

Lighthouse.

It's like they put 2 random male bluelighters in a padded cel with a bunch of drugs, alcohol and weapons and no women and this is what happens.

How was it though, for you?

Saw the trailer and it looked beautiful, visually and knew thery were trying to mix a dark schtick with Bergmanesque visuals - I was feeling prompted on the visuals alone ( Patterson didn't appeal to me as an actor on any level ( but tbf he has very limited roles) Buschemi though and the filmolgraphy, for sure!)

Defo looking forward to giving it a watch ;)
 
Ok so the ttys- social on here is gone.:sus:
Have never warmed to R. Zombies film's ( Music, yep but films liked -ish for my bias in genre but not beyond that) but loved this interview of him. Seriously, he is just so relatable in the convo and in retro monster-genre-philia, it was like warm cocoa for me; after a shit day at work.



Anyhoo, more low brow film watching on my part- actually enjoyed and reminded me of the more 'philosophical' parts of BL :ROFLMAO:
IT wasn't that good but tickled a fancy, given my overworked and exhausted mentality - was funny on that level for sure.

Wanderlust (2012), as distinct from the Netflix series.

^ yeah I liked that interview with RZ too. I'm not too much of a fan of his cinematic work either. Not really my thing. House of 1000 Corpses was OK...maybe even better than people at the time were saying it was...and The Devil's Rejects was OK too...but probably not quite as good as everyone at the time said it was...and everything else he's done I haven't liked. lol
 
The Devil's Reject is my favorite and I liked his remake of Halloween. Love Rob Zombie and Sheri Moon Zombie!
 
Dark Waters, last night. A real eye opener which reminded me yet once again of the never ending raping performed by corporate Greed!
Mark Ruffalo and Anne Hathaway both gave strong performances. She's so bloody Hot (y)
 
Gonna watch 'Stepford Wives' from 1975 on Amazon Prime. Even back then they were making us aware there are clones, but no one paid attention. They've perfected that technology for 4 decades.

so just watched it as 'Evil robots try to kill humans' and found it passable.

Lol. The irony is they got the same woman to play Sarah Conner, 4 decades after she first played her. I only watched up through T3 though personally.


Midway (2019)

Not a bad WWII movie. The film was interesting in that we got to see what the Japanese were doing/planning alongside the American side, and it was much less of an AMERICA FUCK YEAH fest than say, Pearl Harbor was. A lot of money was clearly poured into this movie and I have to wonder if it earned it back, because I didn't even know it was out till my father asked me if I wanted to go see it. Lots of big name actors.

Where the film diverged from being good was its choppy editing and attempt to create far too broad a picture of the war in the Pacific. It's called Midway, but only about half the film is focused on the battle of Midway. There was a 20-30 minute Pearl Harbor scene, it started off in 1937 in Japan (that was okay as it setup the reason for our fight with the Japanese , they relied on us for 80% of their oil and thus their war machine was built upon our neutrality. When we took the oil away, they said fuck it, lets just take it from those 'Mericans i.e. FDR/Congress at the time COULD be blamed for our very entrance into the conflict in 1942) and I enjoyed the fact that it wasn't ignorant of the lives lost on both sides. But then there's 15 minutes of Doolittle's Raiders, another part about the raiders getting some 250k Chinese killed for helping them escape... it just kept jumping years forward, all over the war. In doing so, it detracted from the overall film by trying too hard to cover half the war in the Pacific.

Anyways, not a bad movie, well shot and well acted, but not the best of the modern WWII films.

6.5/10 (would be a 7 if the editing didn't jump year to year)
