We watched this Saturday night. Brilliant!

The Power Of The Dog ..enjoyable enough. Worth a gawk

 

[David Kronenbourg]

Two climbing documentaries - free solo and the dawn wall. Both great. Mental stuff

The tinder swindler. Big wtf!

Watched the swindler thing too. I wonder how much money he atually kept or was he spending everything that came in on keeping the scams going.

5 months in jail and then driving sports cars around again right away doesn't seem like much of a comeuppance.

YOU WANNA FUCK WITH ME! every action has a reaction!!!!



Sorry. I love you.



Fuck you!!!



Can you buy me a lotto ticket?

Saw The Souvenir II the other day. Very good film, but I think it's just all too upper-middle class for me. It's like watching fucking Trinity students again.

Elvis Show (1970) ⭐ 7.9 | Documentary, Music

1h 37m | Tous publics

www.imdb.com

So fucking good, especially the rehearsal scenes. The band is incredible. Then he gets the stupid outfits and the audience full of tossers and puts on a show and it's still great but I'd love to just see them doing full run throughs of the songs in the rehearsal stage.

Hospital of the Transfiguration

L'hôpital de la transfiguration (1979) ⭐ 7.2 | Drama

1h 30m

www.imdb.com

It was ok

Got about 30 mins into the Swindler and got bored of it. Good story but it was presented in a boring way.

The invisible Man. Worth a watch if you're willing to overlook a million details.

Quirky Georgian villagers with a mean streak

Wonder Woman 1984: One of the worst films I've ever sat through the entirety of.

Space Jam: A New Legacy: Remarkably likable for a movie length ad for itself, broadband internet and a subscription to whatever platform Warner currently favours. Far more enjoyable than Ready: Player One. It also made me realise that a Clippy biopic might be possible.

 

[Scientician 0.8]

Space Jam is exactly the same pitch as every ad for broadband these last 5 years. I can't imagine what it must have been like having to sit through it in the cinema.

 

[Cormcolash]

Uncharted. Meh. Not terrible by video game adaptation standards, reasonably fun actually, but pretty damn meh as a film.

Of all the movies I have seen, this one most completely embodies the romance of going to the movies.

I was surprised to read online afterwards how many awards and things the movie got. it’s not a good movie. it’s mediocre.

one point on it, though — and I don’t think it really counts as a spoiler. the movie has a moment of emotional resolution accompanied by... yes indeed, jeff buckley singing hallelujah. that was the moment when the whole thing went from mediocre-ok to mediocre-bad.

but I watched it with a couple of friends and we were talking afterwards about when, exactly, that song became cheesy. part of the problem is that the song *is* actually amazing, it’s just been killed through over-use, and terrible covers, and a sort of emotional genericisation.

it was first released in 1994... was is still a “usable” song in 2004, when this movie came out? or: when did the song tip over into unrescuable cringe? what year did hallelujah die?
