I watched Annihilation last night. Has a connection to military.
so-so movie, but Natalie Portman was nice
Sick. See if she can get you to serve as a seat filler for the Oscars. I hear you get the same goodie bag as the celebrities.
Maybe I will watch them at some pointā¦ I kept thinking Iām not watching them because I donāt care, but I think theyāre viscerally brutal in a way thatās a little too much on top of reality these days.
I have not. Is it on any streaming platforms?
This movie was as close to LSD as a movie has ever been. Or so I hear.
Jennifer Jason Leigh was great in that, too. Iām happy sheās got a thriving career again. Sheās also killing it in the Netflix show Atypical.

What do you mean? Or is this a spoiler?
The books are excellent.
Thought Dunkirk sucked FWIW.

A good number of the episodes are available at utube here.(though it seems to start in reverse order at episode 13, easily corrected) A couple appear to be blocked in my country( you in the states?) Anyway, those 3 omitted episodes(installments 4,7 & 12) can prolly be found elsewhere without too much difficulty.
Magnolia is my go-to acid trip movie.
JJL was good. Also, the guy from the new star wars trilogy plays Portmanās hubby!

another kickass docu-series is this 23-episode epic on the Cold War. Super binge-worthy.

Itās not a spoiler per se but you still might want to figure it out yourself while watching.
In case you donāt:
The events of Dunkirk are told from 3 different perspectives: the navy rescue operation (taking ~1 week), the army on the beach (~1 day) and the air force providing cover (~1 hour). Despite taking vastly different real life time lengths they are told in parallel and itās not made obvious from the beginning (at least it wasnāt to me).
I havenāt seen anything like this before and I bet itās the reason why Dunkirk got the Oscar for film editing.

Cosmatos admits a dislike for Baby Boomersā spiritual ideals, an issue he addresses in Beyond the Black Rainbow .[40] For him, the Boomersā search for alternative belief systems made them dabble in the dark side of occultism, which in turn corrupted their quest for spiritual enlightenment.[14] The use of psychedelic drugs for mind-expansion purposes is also explored,[41] although Cosmatosās take on it is ādark and disturbingā, a ābrand of psychedelia that stands in direct opposition to the flower child, magic mushroom peace tripā wrote a reviewer.[42]

I love this. Are you going to watch the TV show? Iāll watch anything with Jennifer Connelly. Plus it sounds good!
After a little thought, I think I will watch it and then come back and read the spoiler.

Mandy. I remember you recommended this film some time ago.
You and I will coauthor a book entitled, āSumo and Cosmatos.ā
The contents will simply be a continuation of the workās titular itemization of things we like.
Chapter 1) Metal Music*
Chapter 2) Amy Klobuchar

The car crash scene was brilliant.
I enjoyed Knives Out. Very well written and well acted. Great cast.

Dunkirk was good, but the sound was the best part imo so I imagine the theater experience was better than home viewing.
Just watched Destroyer with Nicole Kidman.
Not bad, but not great. The estranged child angle is so played-out.
