i tried with this one but found it insufferable and boring. Im convinced Lanthimos was pranking the studio when he did this movie.

Not sure how to even begin gathering my thoughts on this. I think I liked it? It’s definitely a turn from Poor Things. It’s more of a Killing of a Sacred Deer vibe, but sillier, and if it were made into three very bleak, very messed up episodes of the Twilight Zone.

What was it “about”? Who the hell knows. One thing for sure is that it features Jesse Plemons operating at the peak of his powers. He’s putting on a clinic here.
we watched this yesterday...weird but really liked it..almost a comedy...might need to watch it again soon

You should never watch The Fall Guy. You'll fucking hate it.
Really liked Bullet Train. Hated The Fall Guy.

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.

The film was very straightforward. I can appreciate that. Solid through and through.

Beast (2018). Seemed very promising at times, but just OK overall.
