I also enjoyed his movie Eggs.tragabigzanda wrote:Kitchen Stories (Norway, 2003). Very enjoyable little film! Sweet, smart, pleasant, and silly in an understated and clever sort of way.

Re: What movies are you watching?
Stayed home this wet Saturday night and finally watched I’m Thinking About Ending Things.
I haven’t had such mixed feelings about a movie in a long while. I can see why some people hated and thought it was slow and boring but the performances are fantastic. There’s thought provoking, well done scenes that are, well, Kaufmanesque. And a trippy, loopy final sequence.

The Little Things
I wanted to like it and declare it to be better than everyone said it was. But no, it was pretty dull and boring.
I really don't like Rami Malek
