Moments with cows from the 2021 film Cow.
reading critics’ synopsis of this movie is blowing my mind, what do these city slickers think happens on farms? oh no, the rotolactor is a dystopian machine of suffering, yeah that’s the core pillar of the agricultural complex, get in the parlour Shinji
i definitely want to watch hellraiser movies with sbutts this year
Yeah I think despite no narration the film still insisted (very lazily) on seeing the experience of these cows as comparable to humans, which I just don’t like at all. Luckily there is plenty of footage of cows “just doing cow things” that don’t feel forced or which at least for me escape the depiction the director probably wants.
The cow we follow is a mom and she’s very protective. Her children are really young and silly. All of them enjoy eating grass and don’t particularly like being handled by the farm workers but none of them seem unhappy, just sort of bothered at times. The rotolactor was like a big cow senate.
I saw Bill & Ted Face the Music and it was amusing! Really silly and frivolous in a mostly entertaining way. I think the most wholesome thing they did with the movie is to portray the titular friends as having a mid life crisis… but not because their lives are bad or anything. The core gag is actually that their lives are pretty good and they love their wives and daughters and their wives and daughters love them back. They kind of spend the movie realizing that they don’t have that many problems really. At least not as many as they thought… I am so glad that they did not do the cheap and depressing thing and depict them as failures and shitheads, haha.
The absolute cutest thing is that the actress playing Keanu’s daughter does a PERFECT impression of him, incredible body language match, exacting down to the facial expressions and patterns of speech… it’s shockingly accurate lmao. I got a kick out of that.
Generally recommend this if you even had any fondness for either of the original movies. It’s nothing special but I had a fine time.
Finally watching Sonic 2. Twelve seconds in a location card for THE MUSHROOM PLANET followed by a Rube Goldberg machine 
Sonmic 2 had me genuinely laughing. I love how absurd the characters are, yet they seem mostly grounded except for Eggman. Was a well made film.
I watched it last week and apart from finding the movie curiously Slavic I was actually not too impressed, like they really don’t seem to have a handle on how they want to present their own off-brand canon even, the last setpiece had a really blatant SegaSonic/Heroes nod followed by the chaos emeralds not being explained at all, to the extent that it seems made exclusively for fans of the game but it spends so much time on this set dressing that would let it stand alone if they cared as much as the Archie comics did.
I kept thinking about how much better the storytelling was in the new Ducktales which it otherwise reminded me of. As with most sonic media I feel like way too many people just really wanted to like this
I understand MCU people now because I want James Marsden on a space station crying with Amy about Shadow’s sacrifice for humanity.
I rewatched Villeneuve’s Dune from about the 45 minute mark on a flight last week and enjoyed it much more the second time. something about the beginning was just way too beat-for-beat questionably adapted to me, but I actually liked the choices he made quite a bit once it picked up
It’s just so relentlessly suck-looking
On the other hand it convinced my wife to read the novel? There’s gotta be something to it
it’s possible that I stop liking Lynch’s at around the same time I start liking Villeneuve’s (right around the scene when Paul wears the stillsuit the first time)
like, they’re way too tonally dissimilar for any sensible person to propose watching 45 minutes of one and then picking up the other, but I think that next time I’m in the mood to rewatch either of them that I might
Moonfall - the Battlefield Earth of Emmerich disaster movies
when Michael Pena died 30 hours into the movie, I begged him to let me escape too
there is no escape, there is only film
