Had a really intense ending. Not the best film I’ve seen, but it was interesting. Will be interesting to see it again sometime in the future, knowing what to expect.

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.

A bit disappointed with this so far. Need a top class final hour.
I remember liking it, but not loving it.

Ratatouille. I’m about 8 movies behind, but this is top 3 Pixar for me.

Megan Leavey was decent. There’s probably a limit to how good a movie about this topic could be, but it’s well acted and is an interesting true story.
«Based on the true life story of a young Marine corporal whose unique discipline and bond with her military combat dog saved many lives during their deployment in Iraq.»

Very interesting movie about the anti-AIDS movement in France in the early 90s. Biggest negative is that it is really long, and there are a lot of meetings.
« In the early 1990s, with AIDS having already claimed countless lives for nearly 10 years, ACT UP Paris activists multiply actions to fight general indifference. Nathan, a newcomer to the group, has his world shaken up by Sean, a radical militant, who throws his last bits of strength into the struggle.»
Also saw the Hungarian movie On Body and Soul. Great acting, vibrant colors, odd story. Can recommend it.

I am encouraged by Trag's gushing over Oppenheimer.
Definitely see Interstellar, though.

Plan on finishing the foreign language movies from 2017 over the next couple of days. Have got Loveless (Russia), Bad Genius (Thailand), Summer 1993 (Spain) and A Fantastic Woman (Chile) left to see. Still got quite a few English language titles to go (31 I've never seen, and 8 rewatches).

I had to watch Hereditary again and gosh, I just don't like it even a little bit. It's really stupid and boring and not scary at all, just miserable.

Not even a little bit scary? It sounds fucking brutal.

It's quite highly rated on various sites (RT, Metacritic, Letterboxd, IMDB).
