Happy New Year! I already have my first movie of 2024 in mind: David Cronenberg's Naked Lunch (that is, if Max hasn't removed it lol)

The Curse is one of the best TV shows currently airing and Benny Safdie is incredible in it, yeah.

I just watched UHF for the first time in like 25 years and holy poo poo, that movie is unbelievably funny. I guess it helps that I grew up loving Weird Al's music.

This trailer advertises that it's from the producer of M3GAN and looks like it's going for a similar thing, but who knows how good it'll be. Comes out in March.

Gonna watch Escape from L.A. with dinner in a little while. What does the thread think about it? I've only seen it once before and I remember it not being great, but that was probably 15 years ago, so it's been a long time.

First bit of Oppenheimer made me want to punch myself in the balls over and over. Might take 3 or 4 tries to finish this one.
I rewatched it and it feels like it goes on forever. There are real good parts of it, like the Trinity test scene and the scene where Oppenheimer gives a speech but freaks out and sees the crowd being melted by a nuclear blast, but man, the rest is so dull to me.

The Florence Pugh titty scene in Oppenheimer is hilarious. They gently caress, and post-coitus, Florence pulls out this ancient text from Oppenheimer's library and tells him to read a passage to her. It's the "now I am become death, destroyer of worlds" quote.

Well, hopefully. It got announced in 2022, but with the current state of Max and them ending the majority of their shows, you never know if it's actually still going to happen or not. They just killed off another show (Our Flag Means Death) the other day.

I think the reviews said it was the best season since the first one, though I doubt it'll be that good. The first one is a classic.

well, I can't really call it good. it was well made and well executed and well structured, but I did not enjoy myself at all. which I guess is the point. certainly, this was a film directed by the under the skin guy

now I need something comfy to watch so I'm probably going to get a ticket for the holdovers if I can
I loved Under the Skin, so I have high hopes for The Zone of Interest.

The Holdovers is definitely a comfy movie. It's really good!

out of purely economic curiosity, are goons going to the cinema with friends/family/fuckbuddies or shamefully alone? not intended to shame the loners despite the previous use of the word “shamefully, it just slipped in there
Alone like 99% of the time. If I waited for friends/family to go to the movies, I wouldn't go anywhere near as often.

Although I did somehow convince my dad to go see John Wick 4 with me last year. He liked it, but he hadn't seen any of the previous John Wick movies so I told him he would probably be lost and indeed he was haha
