terrible star wars episode one phantom menace rip off. immediately this began, my wife and i began to talk, then she asked me about 5 minutes later, "why are we watching this?"
it's the kind of film which plays a formula by the numbers and every other character has a "unique foreign made-up accent" and a vested interest in something you don't care about.

synderverse out of ten

Watched 10 minutes of this. Couldn't focus after the first 3 minutes. Left the room, got back 10 minutes later and turned it off.

Godzilla Minus One was pretty damn good.

interesting proposition, but lost some momentum towards the end.

Just saw it in theaters tonight. Surprisingly awesome. I actually was invested in the characters, the score was phenomenal, and I felt they kept Godzilla true to his roots with his look and did an excellent job showcasing how much of a destructive force the big critter could be. I was even more surprised to be in an American movie theater with good attendance watching a subtitled foreign film.

New trailer? Sick!

New Cronenberg in the works, looks like Vincent Cassel is the lead (hell yeah!): https://thefilmstage.com/first-look-at-vincent-cassel-and-diane-kruger-in-david-cronenbergs-the-shrouds/

The French Dispatch. Persevered through what was actually unwatchable bilge, became slightly interested by the Benny Del Toro bit (not for long) before falling asleep in whatever the last bit was. 1/10

I mostly liked the new Chappelle special.

I watched Rounders for the first time. Matt Damon is a pretty good actor.

Found this on Amazon, and I enjoyed seeing Peter Dinklage solo survive an apocalypse for a while

No, haven't seen it yet. I have a huge screen at home, so I don't care so much so I don't care about the cinema anymore. Buuut if you haven't got a huge screen I say go see it, because his films definitely deserve the immersion you get from a blown up image.

that is a truly abominable Radiohead cover. I guess this type of shit works on a certain audience for Netflix to keep doing it. zoomers? idfk

[YELLOW]

Netflix is so full of mid content. I swear their movies don't feel like actual movies, and they're just churning them out. Out of all the streaming services, it's definitely the one I would axe first.

Although I would miss streaming Seinfeld, but yet the aspect ratio is all screwed up on it anyways...

[usagi]

apparently 28 Years Later is happening. (sequel to 28 Days Later and the completely forgettable 28 Weeks Later)

[YEK]

Damn I’m down for that. If it’s anything like the first.
