HBO Max or whatever it’s called now.

HBO’s name saga is something else. Big marketing brains at work

I did a quick trip down Kathryn Bigelow’s filmography and discovered she directed one of my favorite vampire movies, “Near Dark”. It’s from 1987…anyone remember this one? Kind of a gritty vampire/western.

[Matt]

Never heard of it but it looks good.

[SKT]

Definitely check it out if you can.

Saw Deliver Me from Nowhere yesterday and my wife and I both really liked it. When it comes to movies in this genre,your enjoyment,I think,starts or ends with you buying into/liking the actor’s portrayal of the main character. I thought Jeremy Allan White did a really good job. I’m not the biggest Springsteen fan,but my wife is,so I needed the story to be more compelling once I settled into JAW playing Springsteen. If any of you are ever in NYC,and would like to come to Asbury Park, I’d be happy to play tour guide.

Catching up on some movies/tv while recovering from surgery….

Weapons was awesome!

Hard to describe how disappointed I was with The Substance

[Matt]

Looking forward to Frankenstein.

[SKT]

@Matt same, always interested to see what del Toro’s imagination comes up with

[endo]

good one

[ÆRϺΔΚ]

Really good

Frankenstein was decent and Kill Bill: the whole bloody affair always excellent if you can spare 4hrs!

@Matt dude it was goodgood. Movie of the year for me. Just watched it, beautifully engaging.

Guillermo did it as it should be done . While watching, I saw so many Death Stranding winks. I hadn’t realized how much influence he had on Hideo games, but the connection became so much clearer seeing this.

@WhiskeySandwich I really enjoyed that movie as well. runtime put me off at first, but it was highly enjoyable.

LOVE “Poor Things” so went into “Bugonia” without watching a trailer (won’t watch a trailer or read up on a movie I know I’ll watch). Stone and Plemons are great in it but if I were to sum it up in one word: NUTS

[mclaincausey]

Rest in peace Rob Reiner and Michelle Singer. What an unbelievable tragedy.

Incredibly sad…from what I’ve been reading he must have been an unbelievably kind person in addition to being a generational film maker.

[jordanscollected]

@flannel-slut My wife and I split on Bugonia. I liked it a lot and she hated it. Nuts is right. We shared the same split opinion about "The Substance". I thought it was crazy genius.

[jordanscollected]

@flannel-slut Not sure if you've heard of the movie "Bring Her Back", but it is incredibly shocking, disturbing and brutally weird. I would never watch it again, but I'm glad i saw it once.

I also said i would NEVER recommend it to anyone, but here i am

[flannel slut]

@jordanscollected I definitely appreciated Bugonia and wasn’t one of those “wish I had those 2 hours of my life back” but a hard no on a second viewing. And a great shout out to “bring her back” totally falls in line with; very good watch/very much do not ever need to see again (the self mutilation scenes were brutal)
