nah, if you don't got the budget i think you shouldn't even bother with a creature horror flick. most of the things looked like bloody rags, and even that had to be covered up with the cliched flashing lights/red flares.

Men Without Tats

so true, this show never fails to amaze me with how poorly an action scene can be directed. people coming out of nowhere, people managing to escape being targeted point blank, people shooting randomly at various directions without any sense of space or distance.
i watch another shitty show called colony, and i'm pretty sure its budget is only a fraction of walking dead and yet somehow they manage to come up with a very well shot and directed action scenes. those scenes are total ripoff of children of men action sequences, but nevertheless they look very good and you actually understand what's going on on the screen.

looks like the idea was to get the speakers to the lowest floor and they couldn't squeeze it via the staircase. seems that that lowest floor isn't really a basement in a typical sense, but has some utility access from the roof.

this video is like a great post-rock track, a very long and arduous buildup to an explosive finale:
the idea that it took so much back braking effort just for someone to listen to carpenters covers in his crammed japanese apartment (possibly completely unfit for such speakers), is just so fucking hilarious

fuckign awesome, that couldn't happen under obama.

rogue one - i guess when you make your characters so absolutely bland and poorly developed the only way to somehow amp up the dramatic effect is to go straight for the ultimate solution and kill them all off, so in that regard it kinda makes sense i guess.
i actually really liked how the film looked and the production design effort, this style of cinematography fitted it quite well surprisingly, plus all those retro-looking tech, gadgets, terminals and costumes gave it a nice feel and didn't feel shoved in blatantly just to please the geeks, they felt like an organic part of the world. too bad there wasn't much of a film to go with all that.

elle - flol, so fucking ridiculous it's basically surreal, but entertaining as hell and possibly brilliant as well...though you never really know with this troll. never change paul.

oh yeah, that action scene was really bad. but the 5th ep is actually pretty neat. so far only the 1st and the 5th episodes were good. ( i haven't watched the last one yet). it's ambitious and adventurous style and direction wise, so it's worth watching just for that, but when it comes to the actual story that's when it gets really dull like all those comic book adaptations. this whole marvel superhero origins thing is just pretty much exhausted by now, and this show snaps onto those rails even when the hero is supposed to be completely out there.

it is, so glad it's back. among the copious amounts of shit i watch, it's the only series that i'm really looking forward to from week to week. easily the best since sopranos in that "fucked up family drama" genre (at least among the shows i checked out).Just caught up to the end of s4 of The Americans. Best drama on TV. Criminally underrated.
and actually it has been consistently rated very highly, maybe it's just not popular in the u.s?
-
yeah, fuck that shit, i don't even have a slightest desire to hatewatch it. it's just such a nasty, dire piece of shit of a show. just thinking about it makes me feel kinda unclean for watching it till last season.
mods, please delete thread. it's over.
and i'm back
there's just some itch i can't ever completely scratch when it comes to this post-apocalyptic stuff (probably since the original fallout games)...the slow rebirth of societies, the paths they choose to follow and how they develop and adjust. about 40% of the show is about all that and i guess it's enough to overcome the turgid shit. and now with that negan thing it became even more interesting as the core group is basically enslaved.
i think it's the third time i'm ditching it and coming back to it, lol.

rip :(
sorry for the bummer post, but i just felt writing something to take my mind off of that painful emptiness in the apartment without her...
she was 11 years old, a real douchebag of a cat that destroyed everything in her path including people's hands and legs (of people of whom she was not afraid ), and i let her because why the hell not. dropped and kicked around cell phones, headphones, remotes, scratched monitors... all the furniture in the apartment looks likes rags because of her. all of that made the moments of her showing affection and some sort of kindness of fondness of me all the more special and memorable. extremely energetic and hunter-like for the most of her life. i was kinda bummed that she only got to live in the apartments on higher floors, because it seemed she was really fit to be some wild street cat that would form cat gangs to fuck shit up in the neighborhood.
about a 3 weeks ago i noticed that she had lost quite a bit of energy, wasn't as playful as usual and had some difficulty breathing, straining her belly quite a bit with every breath. the vet diagnosis was chylothorax, a pretty rare condition. what happens is an abnormal amount effusion of some fatty liquid into the area between the ribs and the lungs that makes breathing difficult as it accumulates. most often the actual cause for that is unknown and sometimes this condition resolves just by itself. so the decision was to try to manage it with periodical removals of that accumulated liquid, low fat diet and blood pressure lowering meds in hope that it will resolve. i also ordered rutin, a supplement that's supposed to help and potentially gradually tie the channel that's leaking that liquid, but i didn't even get to try it as i had to order it from abroad and it still hasn't arrived.
those periodical liquid removal procedures seemed like they helped a bit, even though she didn't quite return to her previous self. but yesterday things got a bit worse, her breathing with the belly increased, but she was still active enough, had a good appetite and purred a lot so that it didn't alarm me too much. today was bad, she ate very little, wasn't active and breathed more heavily and the last hour hour of her life was pretty brutal. she breathed rapidly with open mouth, meowed loudly, salivated a lot, pooped in the middle of the room, stumbled...i rushed her to the vet who tried to remove the liquid many times approaching from various directions but almost nothing came out. possibly the lungs got damaged, or the liquid got pocketed somewhere, or some underlying condition was actually kicking in hard, anyway there weren't any more sensible options to try and she was doing really bad so me and my mom (it was her cat initially) decided to put her to sleep and then buried her in a grove nearby :(
still kicking myself hard for not doing all i could. should have done more through tests to maybe find the underlying cause for that chylothorax, should have rushed her to the vet yesterday instead of waiting...but still, no more than one hour of suffering in a 11 year long easy life is a pretty good deal after all.
went to feed some stray cats that hang around the house with her food after i came to my senses a bit after the whole thing, they were real glad and one was especially ecstatic after the meal, purring and rubbing on me from every direction, felt pretty good.

i know how to do all of that.

lol, someone in the chain of command just didn't get the memo that they're supposed to give oscars to black people this year. would be hilarious if the opposite happened though.

Still Walking (2008)
i highly recommend people watch some of Hirokazu Kore-eda's films. i don't think i've seen him mentioned round these parts and he is easily one of my favourite directors.
i tried watching his most recent "our little sister", but gave up after about one hour. it's just way too static, light and FWP that i couldn't really get with it at all. kinda like a cross of mike leigh and cocteau twins' victorialand, but not in a good way to me. there's might be something in it but i didn't know how to approach it i guess.

moonlight - better than the new batman / 10
agreed.

Trainspotting 2 - 7/10
Strange to see these characters going at such a different pace from the frenetic first film. There was something just a little bit off about it, it meandered a bit. The flashes of brilliance were in no short supply though, so i can forgive the gaps in narrative and the difference in pace for a film which delivers such a visually rich canvas, an ode to it's past but moreso a basker in it's own very self aware history
Danny Boyle directed it?
no.
