I'm kind of shocked Ben Wheatley wasn't involved with End of the loving World. I thought it felt much closer to his style than Wes Anderson's.

Bright was fine for what it was, silly cop movie in the vein of Bad Boys. About halfway through End of the loving World and I'm really enjoying it so far.

For something like a post-surgery haze Bright is probably a pretty good choice, yea. Especially if you grew up during the time when Will Smith ruled Hollywood with an iron fist.

 Unreal to think I've been anticipating that film for nearly a decade now.

Yeah. Moon is probably in the short list of my all time favorite films so I just want to see what he can do next that doesn't involve some lovely franchise adaptation.

i really need to rewatch Moon again, it was so good. even Kevin Spacey Robot can't ruin it for me. my wife and i walked out of Warcraft halfway through, i'm tempted to go back and finish watching it since at least at home i can get blazed and play with my phone when it gets boring

Checked out Creep 2 last night, it sure was a thing, it wasn't as good as the first one and actually kind of boring, but I still will watch a Creep 3, I hope we get a whole Creep franchise.

Watched this myself yesterday. Admittedly I am increasingly a Duplass fanboy, but I liked what it did as far as playing with horror tropes. The doofy jump scare attempts made me chuckle the first couple times. The interplay between the two leads really left me wondering where it was going as it's tough to tell throughout most of the movie who really is in control. I'm not sure how I rank it against the first movie; I enjoyed them both for different reasons. The run-time is exactly what it needs to be; any longer and the premise would really start to draw thin.

When the reporter is on the train she looks up and is startled/scared at what she sees then cut to black. I just thought she saw him, could be wrong though.

X-Ray Pecs posted:I thought it was pretty clear the last scene was Aaron filming her Ok, That makes sense I walked away feeling like I totally missed something. Anyways, I just watched The Vault and it's a pretty entertaining little horror/heist hybrid. Nothing amazing and it fumbles around quite a bit at the end but I thought it was a fun way to kill 90 minutes.

I think a third (and probably final) Creep is inevitable fake edit: in fact the director has explicitly said there will be a third and final one!

I'm going through Electric Visions right now and I don't think it's terrible-certainly better than recent Black Mirror stuff if you're feeling sci-fi anthology hungry. It actually does at least try to play with PKD stuff like layered realities, lack of an absolute, final truth, and mental illness sometimes, so the name's not just a cash in. However, it's PKD stripped of the paranoia, drug abuse, and absolutely sincere gnosticism, which is really where all the fun stuff came in in his writing. But it's pretty, has some genuinely good performances and can be ambitious in a way I appreciate.

It actually does at least try to play with PKD stuff like layered realities, lack of an absolute, final truth, and mental illness sometimes, so the name's not just a cash in. My problem with it (at least so far) is that it hasn’t gone full PKD weird. It hasn’t used any of the stuff that has become outdated ideas of sci-fi, like a guy coming home and taking off his computer gauntlets, and it hasn’t used the stuff that seems plausible with current technology and still out there, like a guy getting into an argument with his apartment door because he doesn’t have the money to pay it to open. It doesn’t have that same intense discomfort and existential terror something like Ubik has, and it doesn’t have anything that’s as scary and as deeply sad as A Scanner Darkly. I really wish they had adapted Ubik, it’s one of my favorite books of all time. The prose is workmanlike at best, but I have never seen so many ideas crammed in so few pages.

Don't get me wrong, I totally agree. I knew I wasn't going to love the show when episode 1 ended by coming down super loving hard on one side being the "real world" when something like Ubik rewrites the entire basis for the plot, or even the entire metaphysical underpinning for what's happening, about once a chapter all the way up to the last paragraphs and still leaves you reeling and not really sure of anything

I understand intellectually why Letterman is a draw for people of a certain age, but was he ever known as a great interviewer? I think I’m more excited to see Jerry Seinfeld’s new comedians in cars episodes. Live audiences are nearly always death for thoughtful interviews (even Colbert is limited to ten minutes.) Long form works so much better in a one-on-one environment where every sentence doesn’t have to play to crowd reaction.
