What movie did you watch last night? (27 Viewers)

Megalomaniac. Very very dark French extreme horror. The children of a sadistic mass murderer, take after their father. Very slow paced, but, the violence brutal.

The Song of the Old Days.
It's about a drama group in an Armenian village during WW2. So much crying and sadness, not that well made or acted. Still, I liked it

I had everything done and was ready for bed by 10.30 so i rewatched oppenheimer like an idiot.

Second watch (cinema last time, laptop this time).

Still very good.

It was so heavily Kubrick influenced, I could have been a wanker and said it wasn't original enough. But it was just so well done that only made me enjoy it more. Even having Nicole Kidman in it felt like a conscious decision to be a Kubrick callback.

Have you watched Dogtooth or The Lobster?

Finally watched Oppenheimer, I enjoyed it. I have a love/hate thing with Cillian Murphy. He seems like a genuine nice guy and he’s a brilliant actor, imho, but he creeps me out.

Like, I actually feel physically uncomfortable when he’s on the screen in almost everything. I think it might have been disco pigs that started it, it’s weird and hard to explain. The only time I didn’t feel that way was The Wind That Shakes the Barley and Intermission.

I accidentally saw him in a tiny production many years ago tagging along with mates - essentially a one man show and it was outstanding - i still have some scenarios on stage in memory.

Argylle. Objectively terrible but i still watched it. It was entertaining?

Awful, awful, AWFUL CGI.

Please rate the Sam Rockwellness of Sam Rockwell's performance in this

Have you watched Dogtooth or The Lobster?

No, but I had head of the lobster. Thinking it was an offbeat comedy? So thought Sacred Deer might have been similar toned. It wasn't.

Off beat for sure and I found it hilarious (dark comedy) but I'm not sure if most would. Dogtooth is in Greek and I loved it. That said, go in not knowing anything. Don't watch a trailer or read about it. I saw it in the film festival years ago and I had no clue what I was in for, love that!

Who's Harry Crumb. Late 80's comedy with the late John Candy. Mid tier film. Not an essential, must watch film.

American Fiction on prime (fuck amazon but still)

I thought it was great. A dark comedy with an amazing ending. The story is a bit slow at the start but it unfolds so well. A very clever movie.

I rewatched Dune part 1 there, fucking rubbish, I'd forgotten

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

The Quiet Man. I never saw it before, it's great

We started the new Dune Part 1 last night. And while I am enjoying it, it feels like it is full of celebrities. And the space ship design really reminds me of his earlier film Arrival and I hated that film. So I could take or leave finishing it off.

Comment on Dune 1 that people who enjoy it might not like

Spoiler: comment

So I was hanging out with a person who's from an area that has a lot of desert over the weekend - and because the grandure of the desert isn't really of any significance to them, they rated dune as 'a load of american assholes in the desert' - which was a very interesting perspective to me - I do enjoy it visually a lot, the mood and ambience and all that - I suppose it's like movies made in ireland that are a bit shit but have drone shots of the final parts of the west not covered in shitty houses or something

 

[Denny Oubidoux]

I didn't recognize anyone in it apart from the doctor from Star Trek Strange New Worlds. I can't stand those boomy reverby military drums and sound effects and the all American tough guy heroes in space carry on

 

[chris d]

I think it will help me when I go back and watch the 1984 one to have more of a clue on what's going on.

Arrival is a great movie!
