I think it's okay. I loved it when I was a kid.

But anyway, I'm still anxiously awaiting the director's cut of Exodus: Gods and Kings.

It turned out to be one of my favorite Scott joints

Huh. No, I have not seen that. But maybe I should.

MAYBE YOU SHOULD

YOU THINK I SHOULD

yes

I just watched White Reindeer. Enjoyable, modest, decidedly awkward exploration of grief. Anna Margaret Hollyman looks distractingly like my ex girlfriend. The Hollywood version of this movie would star Kristen Wiig and Ed Helms and be completely insufferable.

I'm watching Into the Abyss. It's very sad. I don't know why I am doing this to myself.

are you going to kill yourself?

Into the Abyss is pretty great.

Yeah, Minority Report was terrific. Wonderfully idiosyncratic.

Just rewatched War of the Worlds. Holy shit, that thing is a masterpiece. Totally terrifying and unflinchingly grim, yet ultimately optimistic and life-affirming. Filled with visceral set-pieces and indelible images. It's Spielberg's 9/11 movie. Overwhelming.

I'm glad to hear you say this. I thought I was the only one here that liked this movie.

I watched it once while I was really high and it was harrowing. It scared that the hell out of me.

for some reason i've never had a desire to watch that

Hey Tommy.

Yeah, I love how well it projects the hopelessness and how quickly but believably things descend in the movie

It feels like the only realistic take on a monster movie scenario. That scene in the basement of the mom's house is so fucking scary, and all they use is flashing lights and sound. Man.

Good movie. I feel like the end was kind of iffy, but it's been a long time.

Yeah, it was great, but it was very depressing. I was really upset about the senselessness of the murders. To think a loved one could be taken from you over something as trivial as a car is a horrible thought.

I loved it. I saw it recently and i couldnt believe how good it was. Its captures the paranoia of 9-11 perfectly.

Woof. Well, I guess I have to give it another go.
