I remember nothing about Red Dragon, aside from the cast

I Used To Be funny.
There is an actual great movie somewhere in this, but what a shame really. This is just not that at all. The cast is mostly awful really.

Madre(2019)
Very cool intro; which I think is a short film; and then some good tension for a movie that really doesn’t have any kind of answer but finds a weird arc for its main character.
Did a rewatch of The Consuelor by Ridley Scott. Marvelous, gorgeous, gritty , violent and filthy.
Fassbender is awesome but goddamn Cameron Diaz. What an amazing actress.

No dongs, but Josh Hartnett does take his shirt off and he looks really good. I was honestly confused by how he obviously had some degree of normal human body fat but also visible abs
Trap was goofy good, yeah

Argo how was Trap? Is there an actual twist? Did it have more/less floppy dongs than Challengers?

Margin Call
Such an underrated movie. Everybody is good in it. Even Jeremy Irons, who I normally hate.
