Fuck it. I’m just taking a Xanax and staying inside wearing nothing but my faux leather bondage jock and eating a meatball sub. It’s laundry day anyway. Maybe I’ll do Lost Boys tonight if I’m not still xombed out by then.

I finally sat down and watched The Force Awakens.

I thought it was pretty solid. I don't like Finn. He walked out on Rey and BB-8. He seems pretty OK with abandoning his friends as a rule, fuck that.

Well, it’s a good thing you people were so shitty at convincing me to go see a movie. The post-movie commute home would’ve been hell after the shooting.

Weird that you'd make sure everyone knew you had an alibi

If I snapped and killed, I’d just set the homeless encampment/garbage heap down the block on fire. I wouldn’t go all the way to San Bruno. I’d be considered a hero, too. I’d easily rack up 200 crispy kills of humanity’s most awful.

Well as long as you haven't given it any thought

I’ve given it thought. I figure once The Purge is legal, I’ll just step outside my apartment, get a bow and arrow, light an arrow on fire Rambo-style, and fire it into the tinderbox trash encampment. Then I’ll safely step back into my apartment, inhale the scent of filthy barbecue in the air, and maybe finish watching Jeepers Creepers 3.

So yeah, uh, this is not a healthy mindset to have. Please discuss this with your therapist/psychiatrist.
Also homeless people are people, good & bad.

I’m joking. I’d never be able to pull off the arrow bit. But no, homeless people are generally not people.

And I don’t see therapists/psychiatrists. In my 20+ years of experience with them, they’re about as useful and accurate as fortune tellers.

Scooby-Doo.
Dumb fun. Mexican wrestlers, cultists, catchphrases, and lots of cheese! Lillard is standout as Shaggy. Linda Cardellini as Velma is drool worthy.

Infini
Too long at 1:45 plus, should’ve been edited down to 70 minutes. Someone didn’t know which movie they wanted to rip off. Alien, Aliens, The Thing, and then they threw in a contagion and time travel/teleportation for kicks. Offensive use of decent production budget, even if it is entirely derivative. Made me angry.

Which is weird, because I like a lot of Universal Horror movies which are even slower and have even less happening in them. Bride Of Frankenstein the GOAT.

Which one, 1968 or 1990?

Indiegame, the mOvie
"It’s full of bugs. from the game start, it’s full of game ending bugs. We make too many changes last night, and now it’s crashing all the time." — Phil Fish, on his own game, Fez, at Pax East

Indiegamedev: The Bad Methodology. WHO fucking makes major changes the night before a public showing? Especially a critical one, as it’s the game’s first showing in years, after multiple delays?

The SUPER MEAT BOYS come off as sympathetic. Jonathan Blow comes off as smart and well spoken, and judgmental. Fish seems bratty, precocious, and hypocritical. He wants appreciation and consideration from those around him, but fails to afford them the same.

The craft in this documentary is impressive. Camerawork and editing are superb. Sound is tight. Makes me want to watch more of their stuff.

seagrams hotsauce · « **Reply #29958 on:** April 05, 2018, 06:20:14 PM »

I actually came away from IGTM hating Blow more than anyone. Fish is your run of the mill jerkoff, but Blow's clingy protectiveness of the message of his work came off as both horribly misguided and undeservedly pretentious. You made a platformer where you can rewind, not the 2001 of digital entertainment bro, don't get your panties twisted cuz Soulja Boy thinks it's funny when he's high as shit

Oh, and I watched Alien Covenant cuz the thumbnail popped up on my cable app and I didn't have shit else to do. I heard it was bad but man, it was a lot sillier than I expected. The cute lil xenobabby, the flute scene, the hamfisted bible shit, the hilariously predictable 'twist' at the end - all of it was just so goofy. I liked it better than Prometheus though.

Saw The Prestige the other night, and really enjoyed it. Felt very unique and was an interesting tale of obsession and deceit. The final plot twist wasn't really necessary IMO but damn, what a movie.

The Bad Batch
This was a surprising treat. I'm utterly unsure what the message was, but I guarantee you that I'll be thinking about it for the next few days. It's about women making their way in an unfair, unsupportive world, working to define their own space and means of living, frequently at the expense of others of their own kind. Fair warning: This is not a movie for the squeamish. Scenes involving casual cannibalism, fecal defense measures, and heaps of drugs. Standout performances by Suki Waterhouse and Keanu Reeves.

The Barbarians (1987): Ultra-cheesy, low-budget, spectacularly-awful schlock starring Peter and David Paul, twin bodybuilders who I never heard of before. Am assuming that somebody figured they could recreate the success of Conan by using not one, but two gigantic meatheads...only these two have the charisma of a paper bag and their acting isn't any better. They both sound like two dumb jocks from the northeast and one of them has a bizarre "catchphrase" that involves him making this dorky-sounding laugh like the guys from Revenge Of The Nerds.

Yes, and Jake Gyllenhaal plays a great character. A weak cuck that eventually gets his redemption.

Arrival: This was pretty neat. Got me to thinking about how rarely I watch sci fi movies that aren't pew pew lasers or generic dystopian future shit. Can't think of anything besides this and Ex Machina over the past 5 or 6 years probably. It was also a nice change of pace to have a movie that didn't really have an antagonist, but wasn't a slice of life type of movie either. I had some nitpicky issues but it was 2 hours pretty well spent.

You would probably like Annihilation. It’s not quite as smart as ex machina, and not as clear-cut as arrival, but it is philosophically interesting.

But one is at least somewhat feasible and doesn't really require that much suspension of disbelief beyond the existence of FTL travel, and the other is just nonsensical.

so, aliens coming to earth? perfectly sensible. humans learning to experience time nonlinearly? unfathomable gibberish

Ok Professor Jackass, let me explain why it was jarring. For any element of fiction, there is a particular amount of disbelief I'll have as a natural consequence of having a brain grounded in reality that I have to put aside in order to enjoy the movie. Sometimes it's small, like "the main character is popular with the ladies even though I don't think his scripted jokes are funny". The largest experienced disbelief occurs when you mess when the fundamental laws of the universe. Death is permanent. Things follow logically (i.e. there are no nonsequiturs). Physics exist. Etc.

Learning a language is unlikely to change your fundamental perception of reality. You can't perceive time differently because time is linear. It's difficult even describing this. To accept the reality of Arrival is to accept that all of the universe has already happened, or is happening simultaneously and that with sufficient effort and instruction you can move between any point. Or is it that you have all the memories already? But if you have all the memories, when are you supposed to "act"? As a basis for reality, it's completely inconsistent or impossible to sympathize with. God forbid someone have even a fraction of these thoughts while they're trying to experience the movie.

It's not that it's impossible to believe or understand. It's just a big thing to throw at the viewer. I enjoyed the movie in spite of it, Jack didn't. That doesn't make him a nerd, or me just because I agree. So fuck you!

the whole concept of the movie is that time isn't linear, and that humanity pre-bean aliens just experiences it linearly

I thought besada was quite good in Dune.

I just got out of Pacific Rim and I largely enjoyed it.

Also saw the preview for the Spider-man Spiderverse movie.... and I really hate the animation. Something about it makes it look really choppy. I feel like they rendered on computers but then they only output like 13 frames per second. The end result is really offputting to me, it looks like a slideshow.

All the Money in the World

Interesting piece of cinema. Crazy to think that it is based on a true story. I kinda understand Getty. I mean his grand son must've been the dumbest motherfucker on the planet.
Also great to see how Chase (kinda obvious name for a spy-dude tbh) and the kidnapper's character evolve over the course of the film. Because of all the things that happened you aren't quite sure if the kid will make it.
Although if you know the real story I suppose that's not a spoiler. I had to look up some stuff to see if it was actually real but it seemed so surreal.

Carrie (De Palma) : I haven't seen the more recent version, but I'm going to assume it didn't open showing full frontal nudity of a group of characters that are explicitly teenagers. I guess if you really want to be reductionist, that Stephen King is a real weirdo when it comes to woman things. De Palma da gawd. Jesus the son of gawd.

It's an interesting time capsule, not just in the fashion and incredible hair or even the shooting style, but basically nothing that happens in this movie could happen today. The kids would have been immediately suspended/possibly arrested for the shower thing. The gym teacher would have been fired/arrested for slapping that cunt. Carrie's mom likely would have home schooled her and have been arrested for child abuse.

I love this movie. Might be my favorite non-Shining King flick.

I will freely admit to liking almost every big budget movie I see.

I just don’t think about most movies much and if the spectacle is there or it has some funny moments then it’s “good enough”.

Only two movies I can think of that I actively disliked in the last two years or so were suicide squad and fifty shades freed.

I saw Ready Player One last night against my wishes. I was really pleasantly surprised. It was a lot of fun and I had forgotten what good CG looks like in a blockbuster. I think it will be hard to top this as the most fun movie this year.

The Quiet Place in my book, it's in the same realm of quality as Mad Max: Fury Road. Which is very good company.

Queen of Versailles was perfection itself; I'll watch anything that woman makes.

Watched Atlantic Rim: Resurrection Somehow they managed to make it worse than the first. And not in that good schlocky way. Still unintentionally hilarious though. I really wonder just who they make these movies for.
