finished watching Asura: The City of Madness 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑
Boy, that scalated slowly.
finished watching Death of a Unicorn
I don't get it: mid budget horror comedy, not a sequel, competent cast, ludicrous monsters, capitalism bad / nature good, props and sound effects referencing classic genre movies... I should love this, but, for some reason that escapes me, I can't care less.
finished watching Superman
That was surprisingly fun! And no wonder the right are mad about it: for starters, a broligarch and Netanyahu are the villains XD
finished watching 28 Years Later
If Garland wants to make public sculpture and blue-chip films, that's great, but maybe he shouldn't pick Anthony Gormley as a referent, this just feels silly.
started watching Alien: Earth
I'm still collating.
finished watching Eddington
Can't we all get along and just hate Big Tech?
::Ms Lovejoy's "won't somebody please think of the children?" face here::
finished watching The Prosecutor
Part Courtroom Movie, part Action Movie... All propaganda.
finished watching Hot Spring Shark Attack 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕
I don't like Sharknado or bad movies made on purpose, but this... this isn't like that Assylum crap, this is great. Everything about it, from the practical models to the plot twists, all of it seems tailor made to make me laugh and clap.
Thank you, internet, and thank you to everybody who worked on this, you've reignited my love for this kind of movie.
wants to read 血孩子
Testing NeoDB's integration with my new Mastodon instance. Also, I think I haven't read anything by Octavia Butler.
finished watching Ick 🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑
People ignoring an obvious threat until it starts killing them, and even then, they keep shrugging it off. This is a relevant idea, it could have worked much better than the asteroid from Don't Look Up, but the thing is... it does not, it utterly fails, at everything. ::facepalm::
finished watching Loudermilk Season 3
Addiction, disabilities, mental health, masculinity... those aren't easy themes to get right, much less when making a comedy, and this show mostly doesn't, but a few times it nails them. I liked its point about objectifying disabled people, even mentioning Stella Young's "Inspiration Porn", but most of the time it just feels wrong. There's a fine line between normalizing and trivializing, and I don't think Farrelly is the right person to navigate such heavy issues.
After finishing the last season I checked the net, expecting to read a lot of outraged people, but the outrage I'm finding is the total opposite of what I expected: it comes from asshats claiming that the show was "too woke".
Yes, let that sink in, they're saying that Loudermilk, made by a Farrelly brother, is too woke. Are we really that polarized or are the algorithms selecting only MAGA nutjobs to throw at my face? I couldn't make this shit up if I tried.
stopped watching Alien: Earth 🌗🌑🌑🌑🌑
I give up. I've made it through 5 episodes by trying to deny how bad this is and focusing on the Cassette Futurism design, but this show is terrible.
finished watching Alien: Romulus 🌗🌑🌑🌑🌑
I wanted to take another look at the sets, lighting, production design... I should have watched the making of, maybe some stills, because I can't focus on the visuals, not while this... this remix of old elements posing as a new movie annoys me.
finished watching The Toxic Avenger
I don't remember much from the original one, but I remember that it felt punk, that was its main attraction, and this version doesn't have it.
