One of my buddies was an extra in Barbie. They didn’t even tell them what they were filming. He was on the bus with all the other extras and some guy comes on and says “we need 3 men in suits”. He was in a suit so he got up. Gets told to walk down a corridor, the doors are going to burst open, and basically just keep walking. He says he damn near shat himself when Margot Robbie bursts through the double doors and goes running past him. (Haven’t seen it but apparently it was part of Barbie’s escape sequence.)

Just finished Poor Things. Highly recommended… along the lines of a twisted Benjamin button/Edward scissorhands.

@flannel-slut Good to hear…its on our list. I tend to like stuff Emma Stone chooses to do. Loved The Favourite.
-
@flannel-slut that sounds interesting
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
Well, I have others. -
I'm psyched to see it, just waiting til I can rent/stream — seems like buying's currently the only option, no?
(or seeing in a theater)

@SKT I need to make a point of watching the favorite. Really enjoyed the Lobster as well. Yorgos puts out some wild stuff.
-
@steelworker definitely does not follow the Hollywood tropes. Worth putting on the to-watch list
-
@popvulture should be released to rent next week.

Curious to see what he did with the lighting on this one — I know he’s done most (if not all?) of his stuff with natural light. I heard that due to union regulations, there’d be a union lighting guy just standing around on the set with nothing to do. Found that whole concept pretty fascinating.

Zone of Interest is defo worth a watch. Not an easy watch but god it sticks with you for long time after it. Still thinking about it and it was two weeks ago that I saw it.
-
Read a lot about it @Crispy-Heron think I have to see at as well

Loved Dune 2 and look forward to Dune: Messiah. Villeneuve just crushes it. His treatments are so good, so visionary and tasteful , with such impact. The fact that he was able to do more than justice to Bladerunner in a sequel was really impressive and he’s done the same with both Dune films.
I like David Lynch’s version but Villeneuve is on another level and his vision better aligns to what’s in my head having read the book.

I have tickets for Dune II in IMAX for this Friday. I can’t wait. I’ve been looking forward to this for 2 years. It’s the 70mm film too. The 2 hour drive will be worth it. I love how Denis’ films are dark but still stunning

@Tago-Mago - personally, Anatomy of a Fall was a disappointment but Sandra Huller is very good in it.
-
@Crispy-Heron interesting, heard only good things so far, about Sandra Hüller‘s performance in particular

@Crispy-Heron I visited Auschwitz a few years ago after a doing WWII trip in France and Poland and that stayed with me for a few months. Is it worth seeing in the cinema or waiting until its out?
-
@jiminstitches - go and see in the cinema. It adds to the overall experience. It is quite claustrophobic to view as there are not too many scenes outside of the Hoss’s home. But I think that’s the point.
