It was fantastic. One of the best plays of its season. I really loved it. I'm very excited for the film. Glad to know it worked for you.VinylGuy wrote:No, how was it ?

Jeez, that was intense as fuck. I liked it a lot, the cast is great and Jenkins deserves any kind of nomination. I appreciate how it was translated fro theatre to a more cinematic approach. Im not sure about the last "twist", it was just too much, but the last scene in the house belonged to a cool horror movie.
Great flick.

Yeah I enjoyed the hell out of The Humans, especially that final shot. Amy Schumer was surprisingly good.

They Live
Fun concept. Hilariously bad in an enjoyable way. Is John Carpenter a comedic genius?

How often do you go see movies you're pretty confident you will dislike?

I saw The Lost Daughter last night - or parts of it, anyway. I thought it was unbearably awful and left before the end, while my wife watched the rest. I think I could've enjoyed it more without Olivia Colman in the lead role, but probably not.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
