Hehe
I, Tonya. It was well made, but I found it depressing.

Red Sparrow
Mildly entertaining spy thriller that feels like it was made for young teens despite the full frontal nudity and some really lame torture scenes.
Death Wish
This is nothing like the original with Charles Bronson. It’s a dumb but somewhat entertaining revenge story more similar to Taken with Liam Neeson. And everyone knows Eli Roth almost completely fails as a filmmaker. So stop politicizing it, you fucking worthless hacks. It’s like beating up a retarded kid for wearing a “Make America Great Again” cap.
Goddamn critics. You are all fucking pathetic cowards and shills.
Saw “The Death of Stalin” on the plane coming back from London today. Highly recommend! Dark historical comedy at its best. Steve Buscemi as Nikita Khrushchev was hilarious!
The Shape Of Water
A mute lady falls in love with a fishman. It’s way better than it sounds.

How good is it? I wanted to watch it but I don’t trust critics anymore and I’ve never liked the director’s previous works. Blade 2 was great because of Donnie Yen IMO.
I actually think you’ll really like it and I’ll be interested to know if I’m right about that.
It’s quite girly, but beautifully shot. Characters are really endearing and it’s a touching little love story.
There’s even a brief musical number for you, and a little tap dancing.

Alright, I’ll check it out!
If you’re in the mood for some really bad horror, check out:
The Devil’s Candy 2015
Really bad low budget horror movie.
Dude who bares a slight resemblance to Dave Tate constantly hears a death metal sounding voice in his head telling him to kill children. So he drowns it out by playing a heavily distorted FLYING V. But he doesn’t know how to play the fucking guitar so he’s strumming open strings.
Then a cop makes him stop playing it as the neighbors are complaining so he starts killing.
I’m not making this up.
Look:
This is NOT a comedy.
There’s also a heavily tattooed artist who looks like Jesus protecting his young daughter from Death Metal Dave Tate Lookalike. He has a spinal cord tattooed on his spinal cord and paints pictures of children screaming while in a trance.

Watched Thor Ragnarok yesterday. Didn’t like it whatsoever. About as bad as Dr. Strange.
I feel Marvel movies are just trying too hard with the comedy. I haven’t liked any of them since Deadpool tbh.
B..but.. Rachel McAdams!!!
I really wanted to leave the theater halfway through Game Night but I stayed because of her.

That’s probably the only reason to watch the movie.

I saw Bullet Head last night. Very interesting. The best character in the movie is a big freakin Cane Corso that upstages John Malkovich, Adrian Brody and Antonio Banderas.
Yeah, I ended up crying.
It was pretty good. A lot better than anything the director has made previously. Fuck, have you seen Crimson Peak? Crap. Pure crap. However, someone like Peter Jackson during his The Frighteners years would actually have made it good because of pure raw energy and imagination. Which is the main issue I have with Gulllim#$$@# Del Toro. He has none.
Which brings me to the oscars.

The Shape of Water was good, but winning Best Picture and Best Director when competing against Dunkirk and Lady Bird? Fuck off. Best Director should have gone to Lady Bird. I think we know why The Shape of Water won. And it wasn’t based on merit.

Get Out was nominated for several oscars??? Fucking GET OUT??? It’s like a goddam above average episode of Tales from the Crypt. It’s a good film, but oscar material? Come on.
I’m done with the oscars. Fuck them. All the political bullshit. Nothing can be taken seriously anymore.

Have you seen Pan’s Labyrinth?
Yeah. It fulfills the criteria for a good movie. I just don’t enjoy Del Toro’s films very much as I find there’s a kind of superficiality to them which I can only describe as the feeling of watching a cgi car chase to a real one. This was very evident in Crimson Peak where the story was paper thin.
Crimson Peak was terrible, aye, but Pan’s Labyrinth was great. You didn’t enjoy the Hellboy movies?
Devil’s Backbone was ok, and I liked Julia’s Eyes. Didn’t you like Cronos or Mimic?
I dunno, man, I like the general vibe of his movies. Just the colours and the critters and the cinematography. You can tell a Del Toro movie straight away and I like that. I totally agree that the fishman movie was nowhere near best picture standard though, and am quite surprised it was awarded that.

Yeah, like I said, his movies are generally very well made from an objective POV. Subjectly, I just don’t enjoy watching some of them. It’s like I can’t sit through a David Lynch movie without wanting to tear my hair out but I acknowledge he’s a very skillful director.
I think I did like Mimic although I can’t remember if I was engrossed in the movie or Mira Sorvino.

Haha, I actually quite like some David Lynch stuff! Blue Velvet was good, I enjoyed Twin Peaks and I think I’m the one human on the planet who actually like Dune. Wild at Heart was ok, too.
