🌟🌟 Social 🌟🌟 What's the last film you saw? v. Why doesn’t Peter Jackson wear shoes?

Peking Opera Blues (1986)

I enjoy the recent Arrow 4K remasters of all these classic Hong Kong flicks. This was was probably my least favorite of them though, because while I thought the historical aspect would be interesting, it was instead confusing, and the film relied far too much on humor that just didn’t land for me.

6/10
 
last movie i watched was Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. i don’t watch a lot of movies, but that’s a go-to movie when i want a romance to sob to. i do wanna see the Backrooms movie and Obsession. just didn’t get around to seeing em in theaters
 
These are the last 3 I watched before that it had been a long time since I watched any movies
Black Phone 2: Liked the original allot and this one held up as a good sequel which isn't always the case with horror movies

Redux Redux: It's about a woman who travels the multiverse killing the man who murdered her teenage daughter over and over whose routine get disrupted when she comes across a young girl being held prisoner at his house.
I like revenge stories and I multiverse stories so seeing them combined was nice.

Green Room: A punk band gets a gig opening for a metal band at bar in the woods that turns out to be a neo nazi bar. They come across the body of a girl who was just murdered and get held hostage. I enjoyed it allot and it was interesting seeing Patrick as a neo nazi leader.

Saw Wild At Heart last night, alasdairm mentioned it here and I like David Lynch a lot.

It was interesting - I enjoyed it and would watch it twice. A lot easier to follow than inland empire, eraser head, mullholand drive - I noticed that every scene the characters (young Nicholas Cage and Laura Dern mostly) made movements like animals.. it sounds like a stupid analysis to make but really, if you watch the movie under that lense of the characters being animals in their body movements, it's a lot more interesting.
 
The Odyssey (2026)

Saw this at the local-ish cinema with my wife yesterday. It was really quite good, one of C. Nolan’s best films in years for sure. Personally I didn’t really dig the addition of Elliot Page to the flick as some odd plot device, and not because his character wasn’t part of the book, but because it felt… forced? I liked Ellen Page in Inception, always dug her… can’t really dig Elliot. Umm… yeah. The casting of several characters felt forced actually, but by and by they all did a decent job playing their parts. I’ve always been disappointed with the casting of any Helen of Troy. If it’s not Margot Robbie then she doesn’t look like how I imagined Helen of Troy as a teen reading the Iliad in school lol.

There were some creative imaginings of the cyclops and Circe that were downright disturbing David Cronenberg body horror type shit that was so unsettling to watch that I was flabbergasted a woman brought her small child to the theater… was surprised when the young gal didn’t start screaming!

Overall it was a very C. Nolan style film, which is to say it left me feeling rather melancholy at times and was very visceral.

Worth a watch, I enjoyed seeing it at a theater on the big screen.

8.5/10
