Over the weekend I watched "Needful Things" (1993) on Prime. Jesus Christ is that movie goofy as shit. Like, even before Satan shows up with his antiques store, a turkey farmer lady comes into the local diner (max occupancy like 6) and tells the lady behind the counter she's gonna kill her dog if it barks. The rich sleazebag guy barges into the sheriffs office and assaults a deputy over a parking ticket. Every actor is in a constant scenery-chewing competition with one another. Like, every three minutes I was thinking to myself .

Needful Things is baaaaad. There are so many bad but fun Stephen King movies from that time. Like Sleepwalkers!

Needful Things is such a rainy Saturday morning movie.

Anna was so dumb that I was convinced that I was watching a parody

Anna was so dumb that I was convinced that I was watching a parody The pacing is so fucking strange in every way. I thought whoever the lead actress was made it watchable but yeah, it wasn't good.

I watched that newest Luc Besson movie Anna yesterday. Not awful, but when was the last time this muchacho made a truly good movie? Impregnating a 16-year-old will always be the most dramatic thing this guy has done

For a film that runs 170 minutes a lot of It - Chapter 2 sure is rushed. I did not enjoy it.

Watched a great horror flick on Prime called Rituals aka The Creeper. From 1977 with Hal Holbrook and some other 70s familiar faces. Early backwoods slasher film about a group of doctors that go camping in a remote jungle and have to battle the elements as well as a crazed killers. Influenced by Deliverance obviously but just as good. Last 10 minutes go completely over the top in the best way. Perfect ending too.

The only thing I saw at TIFF was Knives Out. I was offered to tickets to so many things, smaller movies, but just couldn't get to any of them.

In Fabric was bizarre and fun. Has the visual style of Argento's giallos along with humor that is balances British dry humor, David Lynch humor, and Romero's satirical bite.

Yeah I thought In Fabric was a riot. Probably the best movie I've seen on the big screen this year.

Just finished reading Simulacron 3 so I watched World on a Wire to see what Fassbinder did with the story. Have to say although I enjoyed the movie I don't get why it's 213 minutes and I liked the book better. Stiller gives off a completely different vibe in the movie that doesn't really fit his character in the book and I don't know why Fassbinder chose to get rid of a lot of the futuristic elements of the story relating to the development of society ( I get why he didn't put flying cars in the movie).
Also saw "A good woman is hard to find" and "Come to Daddy" last weekend which were both fun. Elijah Wood looks like the worst fuckboy but still oddly attractive.

Think I'm gonna go see Ad Astra tonight. Space movies are must-see theatre experiences for me and this one looks dope.

-been waiting on AD ASTRA for some time. I really like James Gray, and loved THE LOST CITY OF Z. So underrated. If he wants to just keep doing his variations on Apocalypse Now thats fine with me.

It's post-Halloween so the slasher stuff is a bit more codified, but it has the same deal of campers getting picked off in the wilderness but totally distinct from Friday the 13th or The Burning for example.

I'd be a lot more excited for AD ASTRA if it didn't have Brad Pitt.

Can't stand Brad Pitt ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ He's generally very okay. I think his charm is what really makes him interesting I mean Fight Club...
