Tusk just popped up on Netflix again. I know people say it's too gross/weird/whatevs. I liked it. Cinematography is good. The monster costume is wicked. Fun. Slow and boring, but that's what skipping ahead is good for.

The MSJ posted:Very cryptic trailer for Maniac, starring Emma Stone and a thin Jonah Hill. quote:Maniac follows "Annie Landsberg and Owen Milgrim, two strangers drawn to the late stages of a mysterious pharmaceutical trial, each for their own reasons. Annie’s disaffected and aimless, fixated on broken relationships with her mother and her sister; Owen, the fifth son of wealthy New York industrialists, has struggled his whole life with a disputed diagnosis of schizophrenia. Neither of their lives have turned out quite right, and the promise of a new, radical kind of pharmaceutical treatment—a sequence of pills its inventor, Dr. James K. Mantleray, claims can repair anything about the mind, be it mental illness or heartbreak—draws them and ten other strangers to the facilities of Neberdine Pharmaceutical and Biotech for a three-day drug trial that will, they’re assured, with no complications or side-effects whatsoever, solve all of their problems, permanently." Color me intrigued. I get a Legion season 1 vibe, minus all the actual X-Men content.

I liked Extinction okay, but I've thought about the plot more than the writers did. Good things: I liked the reasoning for the Everyman Protagonist to be able to handle himself in a fight with the aliens. It wasn't a perfect reason, but it was better than nothing. Normally in alien invasion movies, it doesn't make any sense at all for the invaders to be doing a boots-on-the-ground building-to-building sweep. Aliens getting staggered by melee blows, hesitating to kill, and generally making any mistakes aren't something I see in invasion movies, because they're not scary if they're not the perfect killing machines. That's why I caught onto them secretly being human early, but not everyone did I'm sure. Bad things: The sense of scale was messed up. Presumably it took more than Generic Big City's population of synths to send humanity fleeing to Mars, but it's all that's shown, and the resistance at the end is a mountainfull of scared synths. Some news reports from the rest of the world would've helped. The synths didn't have a plan for humanity's inevitable return other than a factory full of people who didn't voluntarily get their brains wiped? And a militia that guns down a group of humans and then stands in an open field when there are actual space ships flying around strafing the ground? It's got annoying kids, who I thought behaved realistically, but you can't have that in a movie because realistic-acting stressed kids annoy the hell out of people. It's set up for a sequel that's never going to happen. Also: I'm not sure whether the main character and others knew they were synths, or it was a misdirection towards the audience, or what. He seemed surprised when they cut his wife open, but "You don't know what you are?" could be implying that the main character knew of course he was a synth, but he didn't know there was any alternative to being one because he forgot what humans were. All that blood and gore in the beginning and no one had any exposed circuitry or anything showing.

Good Time with Robert Pattinson is on Amazon Prime. Tells the story of one crazy night in New York as a hustler character desperately tries to find 10k. Constant close-ups, anxiety-making music and a really great performance from Pattinson. I don't know that the emotional core was quite there for me at the end, but at its best moments it has that "wait, WHAT now?" quality of pulp fiction where things keep getting crazier and more specific. The incidental casting is also great. One of the co-directors plays Pattinson's mentally disabled brother, and the therapist in the first scene is a great example of the weirdo look and vibe they achieve. He looks like David Cronenberg crossed with old Howard Stern.

Everything feels so chaotic that at some point it all ceases to matter. Good cinematography if that's your thing, but there's no plot and very little character.

There's a couple of seasons of Guy's Grocery Games up on hulu. This is hands down my favorite cooking game show, even beating out my nostalgia for the og iron chef. It's pure positivity from top to bottom. The prize money goes to charity, the leftover food in the grocery store goes to food banks, it's competetive but everyone is ultimately there to have fun and win money for charity, every round has a ridiculous condition for what ingredients can be used so the chefs are always scrambling and improvising, and Guy Fierri brings a lot of fun energy to the show as host. It's also a childhood fantasy situation of having your own private grocery store and an adult fantasy situation of having every ingredient you could possibly want to cook with readily available within about 50 feet.

You've made me think: another way to put it is that it's ALL plot, in that things are constantly and overwhelmingly happening, but the narrative isn't super strong.

Nearly everything A24 puts out is available via Netflix or Amazon in general it's been the biggest cost justifier for me. I see that logo and I'm like "well 98% I'm gonna at least sort of like this"

Has anyone had any issues with people using their Amazon Prime accounts to watch movies? On Prime Day I got a notification that I signed up for HBO, except I didn't. I called and told them to cancel the charge. I checked my Watch History again today and someone's been using my Prime to watch Denzel Washington movies and Katt Williams comedy specials. I don't see any new devices registered, I don't have roommates, I haven't given anyone my log-in info to use, I'm not seeing any fraudulent orders or purchases, and Amazon's customer service can't tell me what device is being used to watch this stuff. I've already changed my password once after the HBO sign-up, and that didn't seem to help.

I had a similar experience once where I forgot to wipe everything from a 360 before I sold it and after a few weeks a bunch of kids movies started popping up in my watch list. I had to go to the website and deactivate the console remotely. Not sure what could be happening in your case because I think in Prime's case they would need your password unless your old device had Prime installed and already logged into your account.

Tusk is not good. You can almost watch it for the sheer stupidity, until... French Johnny Depp shows up. His make up sucks, his accent sucks, his acting sucks. He kills every last second of watchability the movie almost had. You go from saying, "Wow this movie is stupid, but I kind of have to finish it at this point just to see how stupid it can get." to... "Hey what the gently caress? That's Johnny Depp. Wtf is JD doing in this dumb movie. He's making it worse HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE? PLEASE END NOW! BE OVER ALREADY!"
