I just watched Under the Silver Lake and it is a wild neo noir. Personally I love Chinatown and Nightcrawler , any movies set in Los Angeles where the setting is another character in the movie. This movie had a cryptographer listed in the credits and with the nature of the movie there is an active sub reddit with crazy fan theories. I think movies that have legs are great. Another that comes to mind is Primer, the fan theories on that one make you want to keep rewatching. I am going to rewatch Under the Silver Lake again and jump into the rabbit hole. It's on Netflix.

I wasn’t familiar, thanks for the rec.

@endo I showed that one to my 5yo daughter. I’d forgotten the cursing (which I only care about because I don’t want my kid to “corrupt” other, more puritanical parents’ spawn) but, as expected, she loved it.

@mclaincausey well done, all my children watched it with me when they were young and they loved it. It emphasizes freedom and joy.

@endo the fact that people in church thought it was a bad influence when I was young supports this truth. I remember there was also a pamphlet decrying the Dead Kennedys because they wanted to “Kill the Poor.”

whoosh

@mclaincausey Irony is obviously not the strongest trait of many churchgoers.

Which is in and of itself pretty ironic.

Took my 14 yo and 6 of her friends to the theater last night to see Backrooms. It was intense. The movie was scary too.

@Matt I went to see it the other night. Still not managed to process that film

@Matt saw the trailer last night and it totally freaked us out. I really want to see but the kids not so much

It wasn’t especially gruesome, but definitely tense. You don’t need to watch the original YT videos from the director but it’s fun and adds a little to it. I enjoyed it.
