Z for Zachariah was pretty great.

yeah I liked it a lot.

[The Argonaut]

I'm glad. What I really liked about it is how

Spoiler: show

Chris Pine never actually does anything bad, but because of the way he is portrayed cinematically, we don't trust him for a long time. Meanwhile, Ejiofor does a lot of cruel things, but we continue to trust him for longer than we should. Weird trick.

yeah i was thinking the same. John is ultimately the fraud, but I was pulling for him for some reason.

terminator 3 is on. It's a bit worse than I remember.

Claire Danes is bootylicious though.

Claire Danes is bootylicious though.

I love her.

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.

Ignore the Revenant. Wouldn't recommend this to anyone.

Unless you think you'll get as much enjoyment from seeing Di Caprio get fucked up properly by a bear as I did

.
His performance is even more eye rolling/nauseating than usual. 'If I growl a lot and make it look like I have bad constipation I might get an Oscar.' This isn't acting. Di Caprio is a poser. Not an actor. He's exposed here.
The film itself never manages to pull off the mood it's trying to portray. There's no investment in any of the other characters and the plodding endless dragging from shot to the next shot quickly becomes mind numbing. The soundtrack is distracting it's so bad. And finally, we get an insipid and disappointing payoff. But by then you just don't care.
This is like Into the Wild MKII

Go back and watch Ravenous instead.

I threw on Fellini's Casanova the other day, and my wife commented on how the opening scene felt similar to the opening scene of Spring Breakers. Considering how my wife likes the former and has always hated the latter, I got quite excited by this development, and I hope this leads to a reconsideration of SB on her part in the near future.

The Hateful Eight.

I liked it a lot. Its the Best Tarantino film in such a long time, i was actually happy to see it. The cinematography is oustanding, the acting is great ( Jennifer Jason Leigh and Kurt Russell steal the movie) and the story is fine.
