Booji it is on my flight is it too much for me?
I think not, no. There is some violence, but nothing overly cruel or horrific.
Started watching chainsaw massacre 2 the other day but tuned out because it just got too disgusting (I know I know itâs a chainsaw massacre movie lol).
I do love the fact that the first two victims are a couple of obnoxious frat boys on their way to Dallas for OU weekend .
That said, I plan to use âlick my plate, dog dick!â as my go-to insult

I only made it to the first Gary Oldman part and then turned it off.
I watched I Am Mother with the wife last weekend and it was⌠alright I guess.

Yeah these were my thoughts on it:
parasite is great. just in awe of song kang-hoâs facial mastery.

finally watched oshiiâs urusei yatsura 2 beautiful dreamer which was⌠fine, a few really inventive sequences but nothing on the level of patlabor 2 or angels egg. he can be a frustrating one.
The lonely pointless pleasures of marking time as a teen have never been captured better than in this movie.
Comparing it to his non comedy work is totally alien to me

Anyway, I like Oshiiâs authorial voice most when he undercuts philosophical m haings with slapstick (though I do adore angels egg and patlabor 2) so this movie and gosenzosama banbanzai really stand out to me as immaculately enjoyable and with the wonderful contradiction in tone
If you want another flavor of serious oshii that I loved a lot, twilight q part 2 was an excellent work of surreal noir

Iâd like to think a bunch of the filming locations in the first half of True Romance are QTâs homages to Detroit 9000, but I donât think he had that level of control over the production. It loses some points for trying to pass off that LA Art Deco movie theater as downtown locale, when the last surviving couple downtown movie palaces turned porn theaters were still available. Hell, near the time of filming, the Madison was in the middle of doing a very short lived attempt at being an art house. It would have been perfect.
Terminator Dark Fate: itâs Terminator except they do alternate timeline nonsense because Judgement Day Must Happen and itâs just as silly and dumb as Cameronâs except the action isnât as good so you start thinking about how time travel would work, but otherwise is okay
Last Christmas: I liked this until the twist and then I hated it
the Konosuba movie: this is pretty great if youâre into the seriesâs sense of humor and is strong in general except for the part where they take a page from animeisbadatgender.txt

oh, also, Dark Fate is a good movie if you want to see US Border police get murdered

Rewatched Annihilation. I liked it a lot more this time. I knew the visuals were never going to go where I wanted and could concentrate on the emotional elements more. It is really strong in that department.
Disneyâs Aladdin is the highest grossing film in Japan this year. Could never get behind how it looks like an FMV game and like cosplay of the anime. The 50 minutes I watched felt like a fake joke movie that was going to pull into a real movie.
Booksmart and Toy Story 4 lasted me 10 minutes before I ejected wondering how anyone put up with that sort of thing.
Parasite wasâŚokay. Granted I skipped large chunks to finish it before my flight landed. Curious about how many of yâall enjoyed it.
I think I had the best time with Xmen Dark Phoenix which was an awful movie no one should watch. Just that almost every decision landed with a thud.
