I've got the new Matrix film on Plex, so I'm going to give it a watch and have a couple of beers tonight. |

It was National Something Or Other Day yesterday, so the cinema near me was doing tickets for £3. We decided to go and see Oppenheimer, which was one of those films where you're interested in seeing it, but not quite sure if you want to see it in a cinema where you'll have to hold in a piss for 3 hours or risk missing a vital piece of story information; but at 3 quid why not. Anyway as it turns out, people will actually go to the cinema if you bring tickets down to the kind of money they're actually worth, and every single screening was booked up until 10pm. So, fine, late night movie it is. |

killers-of-the-flower-moon.jpg ![]() ![]() ![]() I am unsure how I felt about this film. Despite being based on a true story, I found the relationship between the two leads unconvincing. Because Leo di Capri Sun's character Ernest is such a completely evil bastard, and a fucking idiot, that any affection he expresses towards his wife rings hollow, but the character doesn't appear to realise that himself. It also makes his wife, Mollie, look like something of an idiot by assosiciation, rather than breathtakingly understanding as was I think the intent. In reality I suspect the dynamic between the two was much more straightforwardly abusive, but that is speculation on my part Regardless, after that scene where he sends Anna away about a third of the way into the film, I would have been glad to see Ernest slow garrotted to death in a filthy ditch. However, he keeps crying and moaning like I'm supposed to feel any differently about him, while becoming an even more loathesome person. |

I watched that Everything Everywhere All At Once one last night. I thought it was pretty overrated in the end, considering how I heard so many people rave about it. Ended up being a pretty trite sentimental story, just dressed up in what seemed to be not much more than a thin plot excuse for as much 2000s era "lolrandom XD" shit as possible. |

bdbce7845617d59c996077e236a0dcf7-2508351093.jpg ![]() ![]() ![]() Pretty good film, but it's ultimately being carried by Richard E. Grant's brilliant performance. That's not a bad thing, as the whole film's about him, or rather he's a vessel for the whole him. As in if you cut basically everyone else out of the film, you'd still get the gist of it. |

MADGOD.jpg ![]() ![]() ![]() Mad God is a very, very surreal stop motion animated movie made by the bloke who is famous for animating ED-209 in Robocop. It's roughly what you would get if The Neverhood/Skullmonkeys was set in the Warhammer 40k universe, and Klayman was in the Death Korps of Krieg. It's a Tool music video that's an hour and a half long. |

dune-part-2-character-posters_6a1d-799534849.jpg ![]() ![]() ![]() I finally watched Dune 2: The Twin Towers. It was pretty good. Better than the first one because more actually happens, and I think it still had the same strong visual style and just overall pleasant watchability as the first one. |

Going back to the OP, I haven't actually watched The Matrix since release. Does it still hold up, and considering the world today, is it more relevant? |

image_2025-01-11_203257507.png ![]() ![]() ![]() I just watched Society (1989) and very much want to talk about it with someone, but it's also the kind of film that's far more enjoyable if you don't know what's going to happen. |

im-gonna-git-you-sucka-v0-kmmtvbkq165c1-4276932881.jpg ![]() ![]() ![]() I'm Gonna Git You Sucka is a fun blaxploitation parody film if you've got a spare 80 minutes to waste. In honesty it's a bit shit, but there numerous 'cameos' of recognisable actors when they were young and a fair few decent frameworks of jokes. |

Can you recommend some films set in and around the interwar period? WWI inclusive but not necessarily war films. Films set in and around Spain might be best, but not exclusively. |

I feel like I should make an effort to watch David Lynch's filmography, given that I have read/watched a lot of guff about him recently what with him turning up dead and that. Trouble is I just don't think I like him (as a director I mean, I've never met him) that much. |

support the girls.jpg ![]() ![]() ![]() Support the Girls is a comedy/drama about some women who work in a restaurant that is legally distinct from Hooters but is just Hooters really. I had never heard of it, but I discovered it for free on streaming platform Tubi, and it played a little clip of it which was hilarious. So I made a point to watch the whole thing. |

a-minecraft-movie.jpg ![]() ![]() ![]() I'm only 35 but sociecty has already changed so much. At the cinema today, first time in years. I was among a mob of roaring autistic retards, clapping and yelling all throughout the emotional triumps of the ballet as they can't contain their excitement. My sister says many spectactualr ballet showings are like that these days. I even saw a couple of trans kids, or atleast strangely/cross dressed. What the fuck is going on? Keep up or be left behind, I guess. |

brian-peppers-300x300.jpg ![]() ![]() ![]() Forgot which thread you were talking about Her in, but I just saw the poster for this. It's by Jordan Peele so probably not terrible. I plan to watch assuming it's a sequel. |
