it played at the toronto international film festival so its hypothetically possible that shrike has seen it but why bother entertaining this possibility when you can just ignore shrike instead

These are loving kid movies and its alarming how so many ostensible adults in our alienated society find them profound as if they’re equivalent to Tolstoy and Shakespeare ffs

I’m watching the Cinemax/HBO show Warrior and it’s a blast. the fights are so well done but I’m really impressed by the variety. there’s a lot of kung fu with various weapons of course, but then they also have Irish street pugilists getting in brawls and ring-fights, gun fights, Western style defend-the-barn showdowns, explosions, this show has it all. it’s set in San Francisco in the 1870s and based on some stuff Bruce Lee was working on. just watch the first scene, if you aren’t hooked by the time the opening credits roll it’s probably not for you. it’s by the team who did Banshee and they have guys from The Raid working on it so you know the fight choreography is top notch

I have never, ever met anyone in real life who thinks the marvel movies are doing an important societal job or that they're transcendent pieces of cinema. some people seem to have fun spotting the Easter eggs in loki or whatever and that's it there's clearly some extreme weirdos online who will jump like they've been shocked when they see criticism of marvel movies but, well, that's online fandoms for you. again, maybe it's just me, but this does not seem to be a real world phenomenon at all

anyway i watched malignant and it was like 20 minutes too long but otherwise pretty fun and the ending is very funny. for all the 80s, giallo and raimi references it reminded me the most of weird self aware intentionally lovely 90s slashers like wishmaster and leprechaun

Farm Frenzy posted:like imagine a slightly worse drag me to hell that turns into freddie vs jason alright sounds good enough, i'll give it a whirl at some point here since there isn't much else. 2021 is mostly dire for movies but I loved The Green Knight and Pig; Nobody was decent enough flick, and Night Drive was surprisingly good for a no-budget movie. Free Guy was ok, better than I expected, and felt very early 2000s.

It was alright, the lighting and cinematography were the strongest parts imo. Watch it if you want a somewhat unconventional horror-ish movie. I don't love jump scares, gore, or self aware genre films and this kept my attention almost the entire time. Agree it should've been ~20 mins shorter.
