oh man that Empty Man movie looks dope as gently caress im gonna watch it right now

oh yeah that ones a cult film for sure

i really liked it, it's very modern horror so it gets pretty metaphysical and isn't about a monster with knives for arms

acting is 'meh' but that's the only thing bad i could say about it

definitely not going to be everyones cup of tea

Yeah with the caveat that the film feels almost designed to divide opinion

No

To add to my previous post, I didn't find it scary either.

Also I feel like nearly every horror related piece of media I've seen in the last few years has been cult related so that's wearing on me.

Darj approaches objectively bad but like any wes film it has its charms in craft. As previously mentioned, even french dispatch has benicio, cool sets, and stuff like that to distract you from the endless new yorker tugjob. But I recognize that as the sole I Love Dogs stan on the forum my viewpoint is of limited appeal to anyone

wilson wrote most of bottle rocket, rushmore and tenenbaums

The Book of Boba Fett

A television show about a character whose one defining characteristic is that he has a cool helmet, who has a reputation of being a brutal killer thanks to decades of fanboy hype and masturbation

So let’s make sure that in this TV show he almost never wears his cool helmet and never kills anyone but gives them jobs instead

that sounds great

but they'd make it staring Luke's Uncle or something and he'd just keep meeting Care Bears who get spinoffs

I gave up on American Horror Story after Hotel. It started getting convuluted with Coven which i did not like. It felt too CW and was hoping itd just last that season then apocalypse happened and i gave up halfway.

They should have stopped at Asylum.

American Horror Story Asylum was messier than Scream 3 and that says something. It was also bleaker than Scream 3. Overall it felt like it wasn't cohesive enough for me to really want more and it was nihilistic almost without purpose which for perverts like Jay might be great but for me was the signal to get off the bus.

My favorite Wes movies are Life Aquatic and Moonrise Kingdom

I'm a Wes Anderson Basic B-slur.

Timothy Knight of Reel.com gave the film 3 stars out of 4 and said "Although The Darjeeling Limited pales in comparison to Anderson's best film, Rushmore (1998), it's still a vast improvement over his last, and worst film, The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004)."

It's a piece of JUNK!
In my mind, the entire pitch of The Mandalorian was "basically The Boba Fett Show, but without all most of the franchise baggage that would entail"

So naturally someone at Disney was like "hey wait, I have a brilliant idea! There's this other character people seem to love who kind of looks like the Mandalorian..." and basically reverse engineered the whole thing into exactly the overly obvious idea they were trying to avoid in the first place.

Or like, the opposite of reverse engineered? I dunno

I've gotta watch Life Aquatic again. (And not just for that lady with the clipboard). Where's it streaming?

I hadn't seen City of God when I saw Life Aquatic so it was cool seeing Seu Jorge in the former as Knockout Ned.

I had no idea when Boba showed up on Mandalorian he wasn't in the armor at first lmao. Who the gently caress is running that clown show.

Disclosure: I've not watched boab show and I'm not going to, but in the model of zizek I'm experimenting in how good of posts I can make about it without doing so.

With that said, it seems like a show about a boomer failing upwards into a position of political power despite general incompetence. While I can see how that has appeal for disney wars executives, I'm not sure why they thought that would be a good fit for a boba fett show
