I watched Rainer Werner Fassbinder's In A Year of 13 Moons last night. That movie is depressing as fuck. Holy shit.

So that Hateful 8 Netflix 4 parter actually has 25 minutes of new scenes and different camera angles added in from different characters perspectives. I just noticed this last night when I noticed a scene I never saw before - that wasnβt in the Roadshow presentation nor the theatrical or blu. Itβs pretty sweet. Thereβs a long part where itβs just them eating and Mannix is jabbering in the background. It rules.

Rim of the World is bad. Real bad. Why do producers still give McG money? I'd rather see another Uwe Boll movie.

Also probably late to the game on this, but I only just saw the Alchemist Cookbook last week and it was very cool.

So cringe in every way. Only redeeming quality is a Devo song in the beginning. James Corben pops up in a cameo as himself in Proud Boy form.

I had no idea McG was still directing, or still going by that stupid name. After scrolling his filmography I don't think I've seen a single film he's directed.

So I watched "Free Solo" the other night and it was amazing. Like its shot really cool but the whole idea of how crazy permeates the whole movie the whole time. It's just absolutely insane and I've been thinking about it for 2 days now. I think I'm going to watch again either tonight or this weekend.

Anyone (in addition to Stormy, assuredly) ever see Spielberg's Duel? I loved that. He made that truck into the most grimy, menacing murder machine and it was just really well shot and done all around.

Hell yes Duel is awesome. Spielberg can (and always could) do anything

Ma was meh. It takes way too much time getting to the good part, but that good part never really goes there. Basically just a run of the mill social outcast revenge film. Octavia Spencer is the only reason this isn't complete horseshit. It also suffers by also being tonally inconsistent, some dark humor could've done well rather than the type of goofy humor you would probably see in The Help.

Man is this spot on... takes 4ever after the kids figure her out and it gets straight boring for a while. stay for prosthetic dick-handling lead girl that was also just in Booksmart is going to be a star

I just got back from Godzilla and I personally thought it was fucking awesome. Some of the negative reviews I'm reading for it are so ridiculous. It's a god damned monster movie and people are looking for Citizen Kane. Michael Dougherty fucking rules.

All I know is the trailer was so cheesy and bad they might as well have had a guy in a suit at that point.To be honest I prefer the older godzila movies and have nearly zero interest in seeing it as an action blockbuster with cgi.

Being a monster movie doesn't stop Gojira or Shin Godzilla from being good movies.

Rocketman rules.
Oh and weird thought coming from there, but Richard Madden absolutely needs to be the next Bond.

Godzilla, the new movie, is indeed bad. Godzilla, the creature in the new movie, is good.
Hardly any fighting. Some real cool shots. Incredibly stupid plot points and story beats. Don't quite understand how or why their giant stealth ship flew in to every bad situation possible and hardly anything happened to it. Tommy Middle D got no shine. Though I do love me some Bradley Whitford.

Saw the OG Papillon last night and thought it was masterful. Such a bummer that we never got to see McQueen act later on in life a la Paul Newman.

Watched Booksmart last night. I really enjoyed it but also had some big problems:
- Could they have at least cosmetically tried to differentiate the general plot from Superbad? - The kids at their school (besides the two weirdos they spend all night with) were giant dicks, the breakthrough conclusion that they're great people to me didn't seem earned. They all seemed like privileged rich kids that got to coast through school while these two girls had to work their asses off because they didn't come from money. Not to mention 1560 on an SAT alone isn't enough to get anyone into Yale. - They're pretty nonchalant about some very inappropriate teacher behavior at the end.
Chanel #3 was a god damn queen in this though.

Chanel #3 was a god damn queen in this though. Itβs in the 99th percentile so yeah a 1560 is probably good enough to get you into a lot of schools given you werenβt a total fuckup everywhere else. But I agree with some of the other points. I still really enjoyed it despite those flaws. But of the recent juvenile coming of age kinda stories, Blockers was better.
