Whatcha watching?

Fury. Ultraviolent WWII movie about a tank crew. Entertaining. Very gory.

A lot I liked about that movie. Great production design, much more accurate than typical vehicles (not least the Bovington Tiger "131"), equipment and costuming. Everything appropriately dirty. Nice use of vintage lenses. But the final act was beyond stupid -

Spoiler

that so many SS would not know how to flank and knock out a lone and already disabled tank (and not use the anti-tank weapons they were shown with prior).

Pity as it was so good up to that point but really devolved.

On graphic WWII films, this is a very good lesser known one - Estonian. I actually saw it in a theater (at a film festival)



Related, in terms of time and general location, but far less violent and more philosophical, this is a really wonderful film:

Watched The King of Comedy last night. I've seen it before but it's been years. Classic Martin Scorsese. Jerry Lewis was brilliant as was Sandra Bernhard.

Have you seen it? It sucks. I can tell you all the reasons it sucks but you might want to see it. Go see it. It's awful.

The reviews are across the board bad. It's not just you. I was interested solely based on Dua Lipa, but it sounds like she has virtually no screen time.

The previews alone made Argylle look terrible, much as I love Sam Rockwell.

I don't think it ultimately will - I think the mine pollution is causing hallucinations, the connections to the Yellow King cult from season 1 are definitely there, so who knows where it's going to lead. Personally, I have no problem with there being a large supernatural component, it's entertaining.

This is exactly my plan. I figured I was the last person who hadn't seen the show. I watched Season 1 last week and enjoyed it. After getting a similar recommendation, I have started Season 4 and am up to date. Pretty good so far. I may try Season 3 after, but I have not heard anyone say anything good at all about Season 2.

I love Sam Rockwell and he was not good. He was bored and phoning it in. I don't think he really understood what was happening from scene to scene. He dances in every movie he's in and he always manages to work it in at an opportune moment where it makes sense. In this one he says "hey look I'm gonna dance" and he does a little dance. Terrible movie.

Where The Red Fern Grows. The one with Dave Matthews........

Watching the 1974 version now. The newer one did a great job sticking to this one almost word for word. I do like this old one better though.

The Free World.
I caught part of this movie a few months ago and enjoyed what I got to see. This morning I finally found it again and got to watch it from the start. It's not spectacular or winning any awards, but I found the characters and storyline engaging.

The perfect sequel for Oppenheimer.
