I recently saw Rang Song (2021), The Worst Person in the World (2021), and Donnie Darko

- Godzilla Minus One - absolutely fantastic (now on Netflix)
- Civil War - really great and a lot less political than I expected
- Fall Guy - meh
- Bullet Train - meh
- Monkey Man - alright
- Latenight With The Devil - pretty good
- Argylle - No…just, no
- The Beekeeper - not sure if it was meant as a joke
- Dune (Parts One and Two) - instant classics
I might get Netflix after almost a decade to watch Godzilla Minus One hah. Haven’t seen the Dunes yet
Neat list, appreciate you sharing it!
It would cost you the same or less to just buy the Blu-Ray than it would to pay for a Month of Netflix if all you care about is that one movie.
Im about to go watch Galaxy Quest with the movies community
Last night I watched an old DVD copy of Old School I found on a “free stuff” shelf. Some dated humor but also some really good moments.
By Grabthar’s hammer, what a savings.
Cool community! How do you watch together?
Just click the cytube link in the post!
Just watched Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. It’s 140% more Nick Cage per Nick Cage than any other film.
Oh, that movie was awesome. Nic Cage is a rollercoaster of an actor
In that vein, i just watched Dream Scenario.
Sounds interesting! Totally didn’t know about it
Superstar, Being John Malkovich, Pride and Prejudice (with Keira Knightley), Lisa Frankenstein.
Dune part 2 because I couldn’t sleep and happened to check out Max like 30 minutes after it went up.
This is supposed to be a trilogy? What’s the 3rd movie gonna cover? The first 2 parts were just the first book. Are the rest of the books just gonna be condensed into a single 2-3 hour movie?
As a book reader Messiah wraps up Paul’s story, which is what I assume Dennis is going for. There’s absolutely no reason to make Children unless you want to make God-Emperor and God-Emperor would be very difficult to make into a watchable movie. Plus going past that would be outside most regular viewers’ tastes. So I expect he’ll mostly do Messiah, sprinkle some bits from Children in there and leave it with a pretty solid ending that could be continued. Spoiler prediction:
spoiler
I’d guess he’ll end it with Leto II assuming control of Arrakis and the Empire while looking at a sandworm in the distance or sandworm larva, hinting at where God-Emperor is going
The third movie will cover the second book and Denis will conclude his trilogy there. I hope you watched it on a decent sized TV at least.
I watched it on a virtual movie screen in VR. Although maybe I should have used the floating in space environment for it. 🤔
Furiosa
I moved my projector and screen into the back garden and watched Gladiator once it had got dark enough. It’s really not quite good enough weather for it, but it was a neat experience nevertheless. I accidentally clicked the extended edition and the Blu-ray was too much of a ball-ache to go back: Ridley Scott introduces it with “this is not the Director’s Cut … you’ve probably already seen that at the theatre, this is just the film with some scenes we cut out that maybe you’ll like”. Way to sell it Riddles.
Projector screen in garden sounds excellent!
My last few movies were:
- Furiosa: it was alright, but the music was really lacking for me which was a big part of why I like the first one. It was also slower which I think is a mistake for something so heavily focused on cars/speed 2.5/5
- Mad Max Fury Road: Now this shit rocks. Action packed, great music, immediately to the point. Much better than the Mel Gibson films, including Thunderdome 4/5
- Cloverfield: I was looking for some horror and heard good things about the other ones. This had cool parts, but even by horror movie standards these protagonists were so insanely stupid I couldn’t focus on the movie. Every decision made was the wrong one 2/5
- Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog: I was drunk and needed to kill an hour. I sang the whole thing and had a great time 4/5
- I saw the TV Glow: This was a rollercoaster. I liked it, then was irritated, then it explained what was happening and I really liked what was happening, then it got to the end and lost me again. I think different editing could have made this better. Still very cool 3.5/5
- Blackberry: I have no idea how close to reality this was but the story was compelling and people felt like a lot of the people I work with in tech. 4/5
Just watched new kids turbo with my friend at 3 am. Going to bed now :D
I recently watched LA Confidential for the first time. It’s like a noir film except in color. Russell Crowe looks super young, and the setting of LA/Hollywood in the 50s is exquisitely realized. The plot is pretty intricate, it often expects the viewer to be able to connect the dots. Great film.
Boy Kills World. I laughed the whole time. Such a great action comedy.
Sounds awesome, might give it a go!
Watched Greyhound not too long ago, very engaging the whole way through. If you’re in a mood for a war movie I can’t think of a better one in recent times. May have to sail the seas in another sense though because it’s an apple plus exclusive last I saw.
Nice, I like any movie as long it’s thought provoking or engaging
I think the latest movie I watched was the second installment of Dune, most times these days my attention span isn’t long enough to manage a feature-length film. Series of 45-60 min per episode are ideal (and ironically then I can watch 4 in a row, no problem).
The latest series I watched is called Unforgotten (UK crime series about bodies of long since deceased people recovered recently). Really well done with excellent character development throughout which almost requires starting from S01.
Hundreds of Beavers (2024)
Basically a “silent” film in the vein of slapstick Loney Tunes-esque nonsense. Except it has a coherent, albeit quite silly, plot.
In independent film and the most madcap and creative I have seen in a long time.
I’ve seen the style compared to lofi music, a very simple aesthetic. It sets your expectations accordingly. Its well done in its own unique style.
Come for the story of Jean Kayak and his wilderness adventures.
I’m really trying to get through my absurdly backlogged watch list, so the last three days have been pretty cramped, but I’m glad I watched all of them.
