First time

I loved how sincere this movie was.

I can see that. About halfway through, and it’s very straightforward, and yet engaging.

Was a solid three star movie. Delivered the tension, action and drama I wanted.

Triangle of Sadness was very good. Not the greatest movie of the last 20 years, Sean Baker, but very funny. The biggest laughs are scatological. Maybe the funniest scatological humor since Jackass. I think images from The Square might stick with me longer. I think maybe it covers similar ideas, and maybe in a more interesting way? Less elemental, though. Yeah, it's a good movie.

Jorge wrote:Clerks 3 is worse than bad. It is fucking vile. I don't know what's wrong with Kevin Smith's brain that he felt this was an acceptable product to put out. Tossed together haphazardly, amateurish beyond belief (even more so than the first one, at least in writing), CHEAP and ridiculously saccharine in its emotional beats, no rhyme or reason to it. Treacly, in a very cynical way. Just trash, his worst film yet. And I am watching it again in St Louis because my friend bought tickets to his screening/Q&A roadshow.

As mentioned, I went to the screening/Q&A in St Louis last night. The movie is still really horrible (the more I think about Dante's arc the angrier I get), but Kevin Smith later came out and gave a detailed summary of the original Clerks 3 script that they were supposed to make a few years ago and was canceled. It's a much darker and more interesting story that got kind of avant garde, though it still has some cringy aspects (it folded in Hurricane Sandy and the Aurora shooting into the plot).

Also this morning as we were having breakfast we were surprised to see Smith and his entourage walk through the lobby and into a car outside; turns out we were staying at the same hotel.

How was the breakfast?

Was it continental or like a full actual breakfast?

It was good. The options were somewhat limited but the food was good quality. I had a belgian waffle and some eggs

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.

Started Biutiful with my wife yesterday, will finish it today. Seems like a great movie. Never seen it before.

Watching Easy A alone now. Also my first time seeing it.

Posted: **Sun October 30, 2022 12:21 pm**

A bit disappointed with Easy A. It referenced the 80s teen comedies, but it didn’t have the charm or hunor of those movies.

Flipped

Final 2010 movie on the list that I haven’t seen before.

Posted: **Sun October 30, 2022 4:12 pm**

This movie is great. Really glad I watched it.

The Town

Will watch that now, and then Black Swan and True Grit in the next couple of days to finish 2010.

Edit: starting Black Swan now, after finishing The Town. Should finish it and True Grit by the end of tomorrow.

The Firm. Got less interesting as it went plot-wise. Was alright though.
