Fuckinā love that movie. Pretty underground gem, at least here in the states.
I have the book its based on by Irvine Welsh, same author as Trainspotting. Pretty hard to read, itās like trying to digest a Scottish accent in writing. Thereās a certain charm to that, all things considered XD

Iāve read a bunch of his books. His books are criminally underrepresented in the movie world. Iād like to see one made of Glue or Marabou Stork Nightmares although the latter wouldnāt have that much appeal in the US since thereās so much about fitba in it. Filth is probably my favorite book of his. It would have been funny if theyād left in the tapeworm subplot but I can see why they cut it.
Trainspotting 2 was kind of shitty though

The movie? Or was there a book of that?
I honestly couldnāt finish the movie, I made it about halfway and got a little shnockered enough to say fuck it. It just wasnāt the same vibe at all - regardless of the cast age. The writing is what felt aged the most.
I just started that one up this year! I need to get deeper in, I have to take his books pretty slow. haha.
good taste my friend!

Rampage.

Fucking tremendous. Loved it. Not perfect and if you go looking as usual thereās stuff to crit. Charlize Theron is a great action hero. I need to re-re-re-watch Atomic Blonde again.

^Just talked to somebody about that at work not fifteen min ago. Not a TV show dudeā¦still need to finish Dark Crystal.
Ha, I came in here to post for the first time in a million years. Last thing I watched was:
Alita is awesome, dammit. Itās got everything: Great setting, good diverse cast, strong female lead without it being in your face, lovely little romance (I swear, people have forgotten what itās like to be in love), nice father figure, and cyborgs beating the crap out of each other.
Plus, itās a great adaptation of the source material. Wonderful attention to detail. Hadnāt seen it since it was first released, but I got the bluray last year and hadnāt watched it yet. Shame there wonāt be any more, but Iāve read the comicā¦it starts to suck hard and still isnāt finished yet. Gave up years ago. I know where it goes. Iām more than satisfied with this film adaptation.
I also watched Fury Road, fuck me, that movie rules.
Also, slowly making my way through the Shinya Tsukamoto box set. A friend tipped me off on it. I didnāt even know it existed. Those movies were one of the reasons why I wanted to buy an all region player, but I can put that off for now (I want Martyrs, Absentia, and The Loved Ones on disc, thoughā¦). That set has The Adventures of Electric Rod Boy (old 8mm film). Still fuxking love that guys movies.
Hard to watch stuff lately working two jobs, moving, and still trying to socializeā¦and avoiding covid crap).

The Uwe Boll one or the newer one that looks even worse? I think the Boll one was the one that had a trilogy IIRC

MIB International:
Lots of lols, few for the right reason but fuckit thereās some great bits in it.
āFor science AND FUN!ā nearly spat out my drink. The binary bad guys are great.
Plotwise boil your brain and send it out of the room while you watch this. If you canāt figure out whatās really going on in the first few mins you are already dead and being sold as fresh(ish) meat somewhere.
As usual hard to get into detail without spoilers and fuck that because you have the rest of the internet if you want to do that.
Nothing but love for what Danny Elfman did and it makes me chuckle that anyone following knows thatās where the bar is.

I watched yestreday The New Mutants movie. I liked the blond.
I expected that the new mutants will be a film like a glass film, but in short, itās not quite like that. in general it is good movie.

Iām finally getting around to watching the Bourne movies. First one down. It was sweet. I was all amped to experience the greengrass shakey cam and then realized that he didnāt even direct the first one.

I saw Tenet on Monday!!!
It was pretty cool, tho I donāt want to give away any spoilers for anyone who hasnāt seen it. I definitely feel like I need to watch it again tho.

I havenāt done one of these in a while so why not? Iāll try to avoid spoilers in these.
The Wailing - 2016 Korean horror/sort of mystery movie about a rural Korean town that is turned upside down by a stranger from Japan. At times it does have this sort of comedic tone that I donāt get; mostly from the protagonist who starts the movie as a sort of bumbling protagonist. But he develops as a character so itās all good. 7/10
Loving Vincent - 2017 Animated film about a man investigating the last days/weeks of Van Goghās life. As a disclaimer Iām totally biased for the movie since Iāve been a big fan of Van Gogh since I was like 24. Anyway, The animation in this movie is amazing. The plot isā¦ok. But the visuals just by themselves make this a 10/10.
Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior - 1981 Action/Sci-fi/Post-apocalyptic movie about a badass drifter with a tragic past deciding to defend a small band of people from a hoarde of bandits. Itās awesome. I saw the first movie recently again and I like this one much more. Itās aesthetically where the series became what itās remembered for (or was before Fury Road) 9/10
Uncut Gems - 2019 Drama/Dramedy maybe featuring Adam Sandler as this sleazy New York City jeweler whoās in debt and involved with shady people. I did like the filmās overall gritty/griminess, and Adam Sandler seems more like a real actor than he has in years. However, this movie is wayy too talky and I just found it a bit tiring after a while. Also, Iām not sure Sandler has the capacity to make me like a sleazebag character the way, say, Philip Seymour Hoffman could. 5/10
2012 - This oneās a 2009 disaster/apocalyptic movie starring John Cusack as a troubled writer trying to keep his family alive during the apocalypse. The first 40-50% of the movie is solid as far as big, dumb disaster movies go, but the remainder just kind of drags on. 5/10
Westworld - This last oneās a 1973 sci-fi/action film about a mishap in a western-themed amusement park causing chaos. It was directed by Michael Chrichtonāthe guy who wrote Jurassic Parkāso it makes sense. But I probably had my expectations a little too high as the movie isnāt great. Itās not bad, itās just ok. Itās from those early days of the PG rating where they could get away with blood and violence that is fairly graphic. 6/10

Its not dated very well but I think its great. Uses Yul Brynner to great effect as it was off the back of the Magnificent Seven so audience expectation seeing him at the time was very different to what he turns out to be. Also it was the prototype for Terminator and a bunch of other stuff. But yeh, I get why someone coming into might not have such a great opinion of it.
