What are we watching now?

[Spaced Out Ace]

The Stepfather (2009) -- we'll see how awful this is compared to the original.

 

[State of Epicicity]

I watched Banshees of Inisherin last night. What a weird film. Subject was certainly something I haven't seen done before.

That film was so brutal. I thought Colin Farrell was amazingly perfect in that, which surprised the hell out of me. I loved the way he would ask if people thought he was dumb. The whole thing just crushed me.

Yeah I'm not a huge fan of Colin Farrell but I think he was the perfect choice for that film.

Barry Keoghan as Dominic, the kinda dumb young kid, was also a great performance. I think everyone knows at least a few people exactly like him.

More Wes Anderson watched. French Dispatch was interesting, but perhaps not one of his best. It had good ideas, but the execution felt like it was missing something.

I wish they didn't use so much black&white on it. I don't quite know what they were aiming for with that - the look of black and white newspapers? The rest of the movie is obviously structured as short stories - which is what newspaper articles are.

I loved the little "magazine cover picture cartoons" during credits. I don't know what the style is called but feel like I've seen it in a lot of things in the 1980s/1990s.

Way too long. Started off good but fell off.

Yeah it could have used some cutting down, mainly in the 1st and 3rd story. Would have left room for a more meaty epilogue.

I watch the Ronnie James Dio documentary today. I really enjoyed it.

 

[la szum]

I have that in my Queue to view. RJD!!

 

[unix-guy]

I watched Horns this morning.

It's based on the novel of the same name by Joe Hill (Stephen King's son).

It was a pretty good adaptation and seemed to follow the book pretty well.

Started on [The Tourist] last night. First few episodes are interesting...

I'm something like 6 episodes in now, and properly addicted. (I'd probably be further along, but it crossed that "good enough that my wife should see it, too" line, so now we have to find time we both can spare.)

Big Fargo vibes here.

Sounds like I need to revisit and see where we left off

This is pretty much what’s playing 24/7 in my apartment lately, anything from this channel-

 

[JiveTurkey]

Just finished up S1 of BMF. 50 Cent produced gangster soap opera on Starz. About 2 brothers in Detroit from back in the day who came up doing, well; bad things. It's soap opera af but somehow; I am hooked.

 

[spawnofthesith]

Started watching Brand New Cherry Flavor on netflix. Keeping my attention so far

 

[Zodiac]

The Gentlemen on Netflix.
2 episodes in, so far so good

 

[JiveTurkey]

@la szum ; did you watch Oppenheimer?

 

[la szum]

Oh man. I missed my window.

Sitting for 3 hours in one spot is not one of my superpowers.

 

[la szum]

Ok. I checked. My Sub expires at Midnight.

I wouldn't bet on me, though.
