Rampage.
It made Ready Player One look like Macbeth.
It's like "this is the stupidest movie ever"
"We have The Rock"
"Ok, lets make it"
I havent seen Rampage and thats because Ive already seen him in that role at least three times already. But I do think he's a great actor. I just don't like him in the action rolls anymore.

The Killing Of A Sacred Deer. I honestly don't know what the hell I watched? The same person made The Lobster, another weird film.

Oh I wanna see this, LOL. Seems weird but of course since that guy made it (Yorgos Lanthimos). He made Dogtooth too, which is also a very bizarre but very clever/interesting film.

Ive never heard of Dogtooth? I guess I'll check it out? I loved The Lobster. They were so strange and matter of fact, it was hilarious. But Sacred Deer? That movie kinda needs its own forum.

Hey Dan! Nice to see you. Although I'm on my shark movie quest, I have never watched a single Sharnado film. And I think they're up to 6 now?

Yeah, but if you really wish for a serious chillax laugh time, check out Shark Week with Shaquille O'neal. Blissfully stupid and good.

Haven't seen Rampage either, but I loved the original arcade game back in the day.
I wonder when the Tetris movie (https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/gaming/2016/05/17/movie-based-tetris-starts-shooting-2017/84479736/) is coming out.

I mean, again I am without words
The cast is very promising.
it just goes sideways in a hurry
It is obviously trying to be metaphorical, but ends up just weird

Blade Runner 2049 was visually stunning but so boring. Also, I have to question why robots need virtual realty girlfriends in that film? I mean it made no sense that K needs JoI as his girlfriend. :)

Perhaps inceldom drove them to that point? That’s really not an uncommon thing particularly in post-apocalyptic movies. Jason X springs to mind right away.
I’ve been on a bit of a post apocalyptic and obscure horror movie kick. So I marathon watched the whole Mad Max series. The last one was a little disappointing. I enjoyed the movie, but I was always under the impression they were in chronological order, so this young Max suddenly appears from nowhere, looking even younger than Mel Gibson did in the first three? I’m not buying it.

Ok must discuss - he is not a robot, he is a replicant. He emulates a "real" life, by design, to give him grounding. There is a well accepted theory in Strong AI research that a corporeal presence is necessary for AI to contextualize and be of any use. He knows he is a created being, but he accepts it because he is grounded. He lives in a shitty apartment, has nothing really, but he is content because he can make his own "choices" even though, tragically, he really can't. His artificial girl is, to paraphrase John Lennon, the servant of the servant, but he loves her because she treats him as if he is real. Interestingly, he has a thinly disguised contempt for the replicant women he meets, in what I think are the most fascinating exchanges of the whole movie. That and the Pale Fire scenes.

I was a fan of the director's cut of Blade Runner in the 80's, probably one of my favorite movies of all time. They probably added more sci-fi novums in the new movie.
As for Cinderella, this is one of my favorite subjects, fairy tales, first because they exist in parallel versions. Cindrillon in France, Aschenputtle in Germany, and even a Moroccan version my grandma told me as a kid. Secondly, it will always be a good material because it has the dark matter from the real word: Gender relations, gender suppression, agism, patriarchy, to name but a few. My inner Angela Carter is writing this now :)

You see, I accept different AI and robotic concepts in entertainment but I just do not like AI being servants to robots. K might be human-like replicant but he's still an robotic being. Unlike WestWorld, where most of the hosts are equals overall...that AI is not equal to replicant and thus share more of relationship out of convenience than love. JOI has no other choice but to be serve K because there's nowhere for her to go. She would serve any human or replicant who keeps her around. However,K has a lot of limited options but he choose JOI because she's hot, submissive, and available. I guess my deeper question would why would an replicant need artificial happiness with an hologram AI? :)

Freaks from the 1930's. Alarm, an Irish movie with oneofmy favorite actors,the guy that plays Poldark Aidan something or other. It's a kinda horror movie. And his gf is paranoid but then you're not sure if she is or everyone's messing withher. Then a maybe Belgian movie called them based on a true story about a coupleterrorized in their own home. All three are very odd in a non typical horror way, i think.

I just watched the 2018 reboot of Suspiria. I’m kinda on the fence on how I feel about it. I feel it suffers from many of the same flaws that rebooted movies tend to in having more of a visual focus at the expense of the story line.

I loved Freaks by Todd Browning.
I recommend a small budget movie called Small Town Crime. It's a sleeper movie, and John Hawkes is amazing in it, simply nails it.

Drifter (2017)- Wow! This film was just dirty and nasty! It was cool little thriller but just very nasty to look at. Everyone in this film was covered in mud, blood, and spit. Yeah, guys would just spit on each other often in this film.It's plot was just an Mad Max/ Hills Have Eyes ripoff set in the California desert. But worst of all, every kissing and love making scene in this film was just gross. Because people in this movie would kiss each other like they are trying to eat each other's faces off. :) LOL!
Here's the movie trailer:

"Deliverance" (from 1972, with Burt Reynolds, Jon Voight and Ned Beatty)
I have seen it before but re-watched it to nail down the "WTF" factor and how it relates to today's world.
IMO the movie is about masculinity and trying to resolve the mind set of "city" people versus "lawless" country people.
Funniest moment in a grim film- the Sheriff having a moment of clarity/grace at the end of the movie....

I caught part of this while I was at the gym.
My take- they wanted to make a statement on the nature of corporate intentions versus society's best interests.
(Keep in mind the original movie was a statement on the underside of American life and how blissfully ignorant the average American was at the time....)
The guy who produced the original "Robocop" had no problem with offending the shit out of people to make a point.
Which TBH, is a refreshing POV now a days!

This guy took me on a date to the movies recently and we saw The Curse of La Llorona. It was a complete and utter shit show - it was ok for like 30 mins and then continued spiraling downhill the rest of the way. Oh, but it gets worse...
The guy apologized after the movie, saying that because it was a sequel to The Conjuring he thought it would be better. He insisted we watch the Conjuring some time so I could see what he meant. Well, my dumb ass agreed and it was also terrible. I said I wanted to watch a movie that was "actually scary and realistic" and there were ghosts throwing tables around and all sorts of dumb shit LOL. Good thing this guy is cute but he will never pick the movie again.

A more recent movie with the god awful Keanu reeves, Knock Knock...in which he let's two beautiful young girls into his home one evening and they proceed to terrorize him for a few days.
I didn't care for it at first but I watched Hereditary and made fun of it throughout. But as days passed I thought of it more and more and fucking ey that tongue click sound got me lol.

I agree these movies are complete shit. I just do not like this director's style. Special effects do not replace a good plot.

Just read the synopsis and that sounds awful... Eli Roth is awful. Keanu, however, can do no wrong. I would actually love to see him team up with Nic Cage for some kind of demented buddy movie.
Overall I find the horror genre so disappointing and rarely bother with new ones - they're usually boring.

"Backdraft 2"- found it on Netflix. An un needed and not great sequel to the original "Backdraft". The main character is so unsympathetic and abrasive, I zoned out of the movie one third of the way through.

I didn't like "Ready Player One". Haven't finished it but, to be honest, that's how I know I don't like something.
It isn't bad but it's also not the sensory overload that I was expecting when I finished the trailer. Literally described as a "head-spinning spectacle"......yeah, not quite.

Criss Cross, w/young(er) Goldie Hawn.
There's a small scene where she dances on stage @ an sc.
She's a single mom, has a young son
Kid's dad was in 'Nam, (take place in the 60's)
He can't handle that he's killed, & goes to live in a monastery.
The kid is helping by selling fish (they're in Key West btw)

I needed to see this today!
Last weird thing I watched on Netflix- I TRIED to get into "American Honey." It stars Shia LeBouf basically playing himself (an oversexed party animal.) I will finish it eventually. It's actually kind of a heavy film. The ads push it as a "wild kids wild times" thing but it's really about the underbelly of modern America.
OK the Netflix review of "American Honey"- a "weird" docudrama about youth in America and Millennial poverty/careers.
The main character in this film is an orphan who takes a "gypsy" type job criss crossing America. The set-up/cinematography is like a lot of 1970s documentaries that dealt with communes, polygamist lifestyles, and "hippies/free people."
The movie is honest enough about what is really destroying America & the people in it (entitlement, ignorance) and what will save it (human connection, love, having personal integrity.)
