Space herpes! (or was that Ice Pirates?)

They’re combing the desert! Get it?!!! With combs!!???? And the black guy has an Afro pick? Oh my god it’s so hilarious!!!!!

(I hate space balls)

Almost done with Yellowjackets S03. Is it just me or do you think you could Zangief spin punch your way out of that situation? There's like just the one gun. If there's a season 4 I'll probably watch it. It isn't bad but it isn't great.

Just finished up Your Friends & Neighbors, really enjoyed it.

 

[friskinator]

Mountainhead on HBO Max. Really wanted to like it since it was written/directed by Jesse Armstrong (Succession), but it wasn't good. I usually enjoy anything that centers around miserable billionaires, but it was a plotless, confusing mess.

 

[WG Plum]

Just finished the Netflix version of Dept Q. I liked it.

Bring Her Back is really good. Ultimately much sadder than scary.

I've been wanting to see this one. I've been a huge fan of anything horror/disturbing/"feel bad"/etc for many years, but I keep getting burnt on new releases that get well reviewed. Is it worth paying for?

I think so, yeah.

 

[Gorn]

This one is only playing at either 1PM or 8PM. I wanna see it but can't exactly take off work to see a movie. I'm trying to come up with a reason to leave at 12 today but it's not a wise choice on Mondays for me.

 

[friskinator]

I think so, yeah.

Saw it this afternoon. Damn, that was rough, and I've seen pretty much everything in the "disturbing/traumatic" category. Gonna need awhile to process this one.

It was just sad, grief can cause a person to do nearly anything, potentially.

Bring Her Back is excellent. It’s uncomfortable and upsetting and every actors’ performance is fantastic. The story is suspenseful and unpredictable. Nothing is wasted or unnecessary. Every line of dialogue and every bit of buildup and backstory serves the story being told. There are jump scares but they’re appropriate, limited and effective. Not cheap and lazy. There’s no pandering to the dumber members of the audience that might not understand. They show with action instead of explaining with exposition. It’s so well made. This movie is great. It’s great.

Agreed. I loved it, and I usually dislike new releases. I want to see it again to try to pick up on details I missed to hopefully answer some of the questions I still have. This movie is not for everyone, though. Plenty of things to disturb most any casual viewer.

Regarding the violence, it was relatively minimal but effective. I'm still thinking about the kitchen scene where he feeds the kid. Oof.

The Fast and the Furious.
I had no idea this was a movie from 1954. I quite liked it. A race to Mexico in a sweet Jag is just part of the story.

Karate Kid Legends was entertaining. It was like any of the others really, except the kid already knew Kung Fu, before having to learn a little bit of Karate to defeat the ponytailed antagonist. It was pretty good.

 

[MonetBass]

We watched the first episode of "Destination X" with Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Meh. My wife likes reality shows like that, but I don't really care for them.

I forgot about that movie, and didn't realize it was out now. For some reason, I thought it was later this year. Thanks for the recap and reminder. I'll check it out.
