I'm a fan of the show contained within that time capsule.

Tangerines

One of the best movies I’ve seen about the stupidity of war. Wonderfully told.

Like Father, Like Son

Interesting Japanese movie, about kids being switched at birth.

«It premièred on 18 May 2013 at the 2013 Cannes Film Festival, where it was nominated for the Palme d'Or. After the screening, the audience welcomed the film with a ten-minute standing ovation, and director Kore-eda and Fukuyama were moved to tears. In a 25 May 2013 ceremony, it won the Jury Prize.»

Cool, haven't seen that one. Kore-eda's newest one was pretty good, Broker. Takes place in Korea, starring Song Kang-Ho (of Parasite, etc). About a baby whose mother drops it in an adoption box at a church and some kind-hearted criminals and cops. I feel like I may not have forgiven the movie its sweetness had it been in English, but it's very pretty and well-acted and I liked it.

I haven't seen much Kore-eda, actually. Only Broker and After Life (which I really dig). I should look at more

I’ll finally watch Escape Plan now. Never seen it before.

I watched "You were never really here" last night, mostly because it starred Joachim Phoenix.

It was alright, I guess. Pretty bleak, tense at times, but I think it should have been more violent. Most of the violence happens off cameras, or is masked by the editing. I guess it was probably a budgetary issue.

Anyway, I wouldn't really recommend it.

I've been on the fence about watching that for a while. Now I'm probably not going to watch it.

You were never really going to watch it

Adrift. I was a little undecided on if I wanted to finish it but my wife loved it so we did. I'm not sure the flashback structure was the right call.

It was ok. Worth seeing.

The Fablemans.

Very sweet. I loved the first half, everything related to his discovery of films and making them.

The high schools scenes were weird and I’m not sure about Williams acting tone.

But overall he shots everything in such an amazing way.

Disenchanted


Pretty blah with no real plot and a weirdly high number of corset enhanced down-blouse shots for Disney movie.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. 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.

[Bi_3]

And it’s on Disney+ I assume?

Yup.
