Just finished watching The Substance. First half was like an anxiety attack (reminded me a lot of requiem for a dream in a way). And then there is the second half

@flannel-slut really can’t wait to watch this

[flannel slut]

@DeeDee85 It certainly was an experience

Son is out of school today so taking him to see Godzilla Minus One in the theater. Will report

@flannel-slut I watched this with some out of town guests this weekend and I was the only one that liked it. It was miles over the top at some points, but holy crap what a ride they take you on.

[flannel slut]

@jordanscollected haha, that’ll teach them to visit you again! And completely agree, while zero urge to give it a second viewing, definitely appreciate a movie that is able to evoke emotion… what a ride indeed

Forgot to post a follow up about Godzilla Minus One. We had a blast and both thought it was great. Seeing it in Japanese with subtitles is key. I can see why it won the academy award for VFX and there was some great interview footage with the filmmakers. Highly recommend

My wife wanted to watch “My Old Ass” (Amazon prime). I didn’t know anything about it but I’m a fan of Aubrey Plaza so we gave it a go. We both absolutely loved it. Sweet and funny coming of age movie that was truly touching by the end. It was filmed around Muskoka lake in Canada…some of the most beautiful landscapes I’ve ever seen and now we both want to go. I think it touched us because our kids will be that “leaving home” age pretty soon and it perfectly captured that bittersweet feeling

Travelling and catching up on old movies.

Half way through Apocalypse Now - The Directors Cut......

I like that one a lot. Do you know 'Hearts of Darkness', the documentary film about the production of Apocalypse Now?

@flannel-slut watched this yesterday... never been more disturbed by a piece of media in my life!

Thoroughly enjoyed, but never wanna see it again...

[flannel slut]

@endo one of my better English teachers in high school had assigned us Heart of Darkness by Joseph Conrad. Apocalypse Now, brilliant adaptation.

[flannel slut]

@T4920 🫠 Holy. Shit. The Substance.

[popvulture]

Haha man I can’t wait to see this one. Gonna have to wait until the lady’s out of town, I’m guessing. To her, Gremlins might as well be Saw.

Will look it up - thx

Don’t watch many movies these days but have seen some on the plane of late

Hit Man: B-, helped by the setting in New Orleans

Deadpool x Wolverine: B+, over the top, ridiculous, had some funny moments

Twisters: A-, really fun flick… surprisingly so

@flannel-slut Came here to basically say the same. When I spent half a year in the UK, going to school there, we read that, too. Makes you admire the film adaption even more.

[flannel slut]

@Mister_Brue always appreciate a “steer clear from” experience. We watched Wolfs the other night, holding out hope for a fun ride like bullet train but just another throwaway.

@mclaincausey will have to remember keep twister in mind for a family movie night.
