i watched tokyo drifter old but still i like it
Believe it or not a sequel actually made it to theatres… What a Trainwreck of a movie that was… The second wasn’t presented within a found footage format unlike the first
If you’re into found footage films creep 2 isn’t bad at all (first is a tad boring). V/H/S 2 also ranks fairly high on my list of favorite found footage films.
I’ve started watching Shameless. So far it’s pretty good but i’m only a few episodes in.

I normally get motion sickness from watching found footage films(not Last Exorcism. The ones that really shake the bloody cam like REC 2, which was pretty good even though I was nauseous for the entirety of the movie) but I did manage to sit through the segment in V/H/S 2 that Gareth Evans directed. It was fantastic.
Within many of these found footage films, I find it extremely far fetched that the protagonist/protagonists still manage to keep filming when imminent, life threatening danger is present.
To go off topic, the most dissappointing film I’ve recently seen was the remake of hellboy… I was thinking “FINALLY an R-rated adaptation of the character will do him some justice on-screen”.
Well… the film was poorly choreographed, an abundance of terrible CGI over traditional practical special effects from start to finish irritated me, the script was AWFUL and character development/chemistry between characters was lacking.
On a positive note, a song from Motley Crue appears within the film.

@dt79 Have you seen Iris on Netflix? (no spoilers please if you’ve seen it)
(if you haven’t) It was a South Korean TV series, stumbled onto it, just started watching. The male lead is Storm Shadow in the G.I. Joe movies. The female lead is muy caliente imo. So of course I google the dude, and his real life wife is…equally muy caliente.
Now I know why the Korean soaps are supposed to be super popular in the US.
No, I don’t watch South Korean TV shows. I can’t sit through them. They’re either over-stylized and overly dramatic, or every member of the cast just spends the whole fucking show crying. My wife watches them, though. I was nearly driven mad from hearing the theme song from this show being played everywhere in the early 2000s.
Wait, aren’t you a “horror” film aficionado? Lol.
^^That theme song is nasty. Iris is secret asian man/woman stuff. I’m hearing mostly english songs, maybe that’s the western Netflix version.

I dunno. I think Korean dramas normally have lots of English songs. Recent ones I’ve glanced at have been doing the Old Boy/John Wick kind of lighting and camera stuff(basically the neo noir shit). There’s one my dad is watching which has a 7min scene with no cuts with lots of judo and mma fighting.
Eh, yeah, I guess.
I liked it too. 
You are dead to me for hating on this.

Dude, this song was so popular they made a techno version and it started getting played it in the GYM lololol. It was released in 4 different fucking languages so I had to hear it no matter which channel I switched to. Holy shit you don’t know the horror…
I was in the U.S. when this ran, so I only had to listen to it once a week =D
I understand your pain- this is not the kind of music I’d be interested in hearing in the gym.

Vinland saga on Amazon. 25 episode anime about vikings. Stumbled upon it, hooked after 3 episodes. Truly badass stuff.
The Imitation Game
Dr Strange leads an elite government squad of level 5 mutant math nerds ordered to crack a Nazi crypto code machine thingy during the 2nd World War. He’s a gay mathematician with the kind of movie autism that grants him super powers, which he displays in a climatic “Dr House epiphany moment” when he overhears a completely random conversation seemingly unrelated to the puzzle he’s trying to solve.
This results in him saving 10s of millions of lives by cracking the Nazi crypto code machine thingy and inventing bitcoin.
Then the government chemically castrates him for being gay.
Kiera Knightly plays a cute chick held back by the patriarchy.
It’s pretty good.
7.5/10
Alan Turing was fascinating. The father of computers! He also either killed himself due to his chemical castration, or was killed, because the government was genuinely scared that commies were going to use homosexuals to gather intelligence. The jury’s actually out on whether or not he had asperger’s, since a lot of people seem to think if you’re awkward and smart you have it, but there’s definitely a bunch of qualifying criteria that suggest that he may have been. Seems inconsequential though, he was brilliant no matter how you put it. BC did a pretty good job. Kiera Knightley is hot. Agreed on the rating.

I think we discussed Extraction starring Chris Hemsworth on here. I watched another movie called Extraction with Bruce Willis and some guy. And Dan Bilzerian, I think. It was hilariously awful. 2/10. Generous 2.
Currently watching Alien Covenant, and wondering how there are so many movies and shows about space exploration where people go sans-protective suits on an Alien planet because it looks comfy cozy, without an ounce of knowledge as to what bacteria, virus’, parasites etc. exist there.

Oh I think he probably did. It’s the way people on the spectrum are normally depicted on screen that I’m making fun of lol.
BC is a fantastic actor. What the world needs right now is a new season of Sherlock.
The flute scene was hilarious. The whole theater was laughing but I think it was mostly out of boredom. I still can’t decide if it was meant to be intentionally or unintentionally funny.
This scene immediately popped into my mind while watching it.

Watched Titan A.E. last night for the first time, 20 years after its release. Not sure why I’ve never seen it before. Perhaps a bit predictable, but the voice acting was good, the animation was great, solid storyline, etc. 7/10 at least.
Also a star studded cast from 2000 - Matt Damon, Drew Barrymore, Bill Pullman, Ron Pearlman, Jim Breuer, Janeane Garofalo, Nathan Lane, John Leguizamo, and others. Good watch! Love the corny 2000 CGI mixed into the traditional animation.
