I've been watching "Post Mortem: no one dies in Skarse" and its pretty good. Why is Scandinavian vampire stuff so cool, Let the Right One In was one of my favourite books as a teen and the movie was great

Saltburn was terrible. Three or four of the goofiest sex scenes of all time and for a denouement of "no poo poo"

This all makes Saltburn sound like a worse version of Society (1989, d.p. Rick Fichter).

Way worse

E: the closing scene song got stuck in my head, I hadn't heard that song since I was like twelve at a school dance

The song and video is a better told same story

drat. My Christmas present from my mum arrived and it's the Mr Bungle Tractor Ate My Balls Again t shirt Mike Patton wore in

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZG_k5CSYKhg

I used to wear it all the time as a teenager and then lent it to somebody because she had a crush on the bass player of a band and wanted him to think she was cool. Never gave it back. She got laid though so ce la vie

When I got it it was like twenty bucks mass produced on Mike Patton's record label website but now it's an expensive mess to find a good one, I been told. By my mother

Post Mortem: No one Dies in Skarnes has a weird b-story, where the vampire's brother is going to lose his house and business as a mortician, and he has to cough up thirty thousand kroner to get a defferal on his payments. I looked it up and that's like two grand USD. Weirdly low stakes. He does organised crime about it

I liked the Machine. It's a pretty bad comedian's vanity project but it understands the main character is a venal loving idiot making a movie about his viral stand up bit, and makes fun of him, and Bert Kreischer is a pretty funny actor

It's also gorgeous and made well for some reason

This movie is a ton of fun, thank you!

I think I'm a sucker for a movie that nails something visual. The lady in a red bodysuit on a swing petting a cat wearing sunglasses is *perfect*. It's a sight that sings. I'm not academic enough to write why it works so much better than, to make an unfair comparison: Taylor Swift in CATS singing on a half moon, but it makes me want to fist bump the director and go "you did it, this is iconic". Other examples would be the Fury Road's fleet or Babett's Feast's feast.

Colorizing is less perfect but it's done to well enough effect that it made me smile too.

Cat rocks.

One of the best things I ever heard was on a legal podcast making fun of Milo Yionopolis, after he got his book pulped by Simon and Shuster and tried to defend himself. One of the hosts said "you don't have to be a genius to do this but you kind of have to do this to do this". And it's some good words. The best musician I ever met was dunce cap fuckin' dim but he played the mountain dulcimer like a beautiful sweety

Thought I was smart but I don't even know how to put a dulcimer in place let alone how to make beautiful music on it

Yeah see I respect TBaTH, even though I hate it, and I can’t deny it was made with passion and meaning even if I feel like that passion and meaning was extremely poorly done.

Regardless I think you kind of captured my central frustration with the first act; I mean, I work at a movie theater so I saw the trailer literally dozens of times before I saw the movie but even removed from that I don’t think there’s a world where I don’t think Mahito goes through the tunnel. I think the cinematic language the movie was using was pulling Mahito further and further into the Heron’s (and by extension, the dreamworld’s as a whole) orbit, so it really felt like just a lot of wasting time that both 1) made for a movie that was just way too long in general and 2) ended up with really underdeveloped tertiary characters.

To me TbaTH is a more inscrutable and longer and much less effectively done Spirited Away in virtually every way, from basic premises being90s near-copies of each other, to plot beats, to main character archetypes, to resolution, to ending, it’s just Spirited Away did it better in basically every conceivable way and in a shorter time that flowed better and with no random throwing of the narrative brakes so a character could just tell the audience what’s going on every thirty minutes or so. Like, Chihiro is working at the bathhouse within 15 minutes of the movie’s start, which both makes the movie get into its meat much better and also gives you an actual understanding of who people like Noh, Haku, Boh and so on are, in contrast to Mahito meeting basically everyone in his supporting cast like 15 minutes before the movie’s end.

I know I've lost this fight against initialising stuff. People think its okay and hell let a thousand flowers bloom. I'm gonna imagine a non-existant movie title whenever I see something like "TBaTH" and enjoy that instead of feeling mad for no real purpose

One cool thing about Banshee is that Anthony Starr got too into the fight scenes with the stunt people, and really went into it and leant into a pulled punch on a really early shoot, broke himself a jaw. And it worked. Turned the character into a mush mouth with an overbite. Underbite? Whichever one makes your lower jaw too long

And he's pretty funny
