btw i want to clarify. streaming services tht count: if you can get it for free without pirating it, if its somethin that a lot of people probably have (hulu, netflix, max, etc), if its one of the bigger small services (criterion, shudder). use common freakin sense, thats all

Hell or High Water

really liked it. fuckin love a good western, fuckin love a movie about th death of the west and the little man fightin back, fuckin love a heist movie. lot of good actors playin shitkickers in this in a good way, loved chris pines and ben foster bantering like dipshit brothers. jeff bridges pickin on his partner could be rou8gh but its cool that they played genuine affection under there nd his reaction when alberto died was perfect. its definitely not a perfect movie, you cn see the strings on the plot too often for it to feel seamless like a 4 star movie is, but hell its really fuckin good and i enjoyed it a lot. good pick chuck.

★★★ ½

Conan the Barbarian

godlike. incredible sets, incredible costumes, absolutely unbelievable soundtrack. so many fuckin kickass monologues. even lovely actor-type arnie is perfect. the action scenes are amazing, subotai fuckin rules (literally a california surfer they picked up, hes got like four movie credits lmfao), bringin in james earl jones and max von sydow to teach arnie, sandahl bergman, and subotai to act was th smartest thing they couldve done. every single scene with either of em is pure electricity, thulsa doom's big monologue is one of the best in movies and so is the scene with king osric. if i could nitpick anything i wouldnt bother because the movies perfect 100%. i could watch it ten times a week nd never get bored.

★★★★

after my pick last year i started making a list of possible picks, but on getting drawn last week and looking them up they all had poo poo streaming options.

worst of all was Sleuth, an absolute classic, both lead actors nominated for Best Actor for the movie. and i see this, not even for rent anywhere, no newer home release than a dvd



I looked it up and apparently the film is now owned by Bristol Myers Squibb, the pharmaceutical company lol

lmao. all entertainment and streaming company executives should be beaten with bamboo cane
