Re: What movies are you watching?
It's my understanding that this is supposed to be a massive 20+ hour, 9 part monstrosity, so I don't know why it wasn't just a miniseries. Smaller doses or chopping it into episodes might help...spike wrote:maybe he means it'd be more palatable in smaller doses?Jorge wrote:Mostly I'm confused about the reasoning

Definitely didn't wish this first installment was longer. Because there isn't much to it.

Re: What movies are you watching?
Gandahar (1987)
French animated movie. Extremely crude animation. Extremely weird French comic vibe. Not very good, but I did find the slow pace and synth score to be a little mesmerizing at times.
Has a lot of celebrity voices for some reason: Christopher Plummer, Glenn close, penn and teller, Jennifer Leigh. Yet everyone sounds the same and it's sometimes hard to tell who is speaking.

Watched Birdy(1984). Directed by Alan Parker(Midnight Express among others). Not quite a great film but worth the watch if you like Parker.

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.

Watching some silly bullshit by the name Operation Petticoat. It's not great, but I'm never unhappy to be spending time with Cary Grant and Tony Curtis.

Re: What movies are you watching?
just finished this one, and i liked it very much. Good framing, photography and the cast was good. Nicholas Hoult had a terrific year, i saw this one and Nosferatu today, double Hoult program i guess.tragabigzanda wrote:The Order. I’m a sucker for all things Pacific NW Aryan Nation, but I think this was really good irrespective of my weird hobby.
Jude Law was great. Also some fun choices with the color correction and music.
Odd that I watch very few movies, but this and my last one (Juror 2) both feature Nicholas Hoult.
and Juror #2 had also a very good performance from him.
