I watched Inland Empire in a theatre and I absolutely hated almost every second of it. If that was intentional, good job David Lynch.

Real talk is The Irishman actually worth watching, that runtime is daunting I donāt know if I have the attention span for it
it couldāve been a lot shorter and the performances are pretty weird in parts, but itās worth at least one go-round, yeah. very minor late overindulgent Scorsese is still good

WATCHED RED CLIFF PART ONE AND TWO IāM SO GLAD JOHN WOO MADE A MOVIE WITHOUT GUNS AND CARS SO I COULD ENJOY IT I finally understand John woo now
Iām just kidding, I got his whole deal and respected how much of a fucking sap he is from afar (red cliffs made me cry at least three times, it didnāt help that pamis favorite character sun shang xiang, was one of the best parts of the movie, but then she has a whole arc where she makes a dumb best friend in the enemy camp sheās spying on, and they give eachother nicknames and then her best friend dies at the battle of the red cliffs two seconds after reuniting. you see it coming the second they meet but it still RENDED MY HEART) because loud guns constantly and car crashes constantly are fucking annoying. Iām just glad thereās something for everyone
also i havent seen titanic but think itās funny that Iām ridiculously into chinaās titanic. three kingdoms shit rules though, Cao cao loses cuz he doesnāt have any friends and his enemies CONSTANTLY rub it in his face that they have friends and he doesnāt. all the women get bad ass lines too. lady Zhen fucking OBLITERATED him during that tea ceremony.
I had to watch part one and two back to back with a snack intermission cuz I loved em so much! I never sit still for five hours! time to play the red cliffs level in dynasty warriors 9
every time the movie flew over those cg boats it felt like the game in the best way

Anybody see the new Alex Garland film Men yet?
Is it a prequel to Children of Men?

RRR (I downloaded it cuz the dub would annoy me and Iām SO GLAD. the ADR of some of it sounded like the hot dudes in a room with one of those ear ASMR mics OH LORD HELP ME) was great, I love mass cinema with like 100 different ways to bonk someone on the head, also strong arms strong legs one mind taking out all the british fucking owned
the woman threw the vampire killer at ram literally WHILE we were talking about how āyou know? I donāt think sheās evil ENOUGH. she should be a smokerā well, that was worse than smoking!

I saw it the other day! It felt to me exactly like one of those obscure 80ās moody horror/exploitation movies thatās largely middling and incoherent but gets very occasional midnight screenings at repertory cinemas thanks to the One Wild Setpiece or weird monster (usually toward the end of the film). Like The Pit (1981) would be a good example of the kind of thing Iām thinking of. Men is written in that genreās typically muddled fashion, halfheartedly striving to say important things about misogyny but obviously coming from a very cismale, somewhat out-of-touch perspective and never gets out of 101 territory.
The movie has some gorgeous nature cinematography though, and some totally bonkers gore and monster effects that I got a big kick out of. I think this thing really is destined to be forgotten about but revived for midnight screenings in 30 years, and I think itās going to slay at those.

Though one thing I will say for Men: It has a pretty effective portrayal of one very VERY specific kind of floridly horny pseudo-intellectual male gaze in the monologue delivered by the preacher toward the end of the movie. I read that this monologue, unlike the rest of the film, was written by the lead actress. Itās sort of funny how obvious it is that this was the one part of the script written by a woman.
