Dang, I have to sign up for HBO again just to see this thing? Oh well.
This was a great short story. Heās a great writer.
Wait and time it with Barry S3. Time to sign up for 1-2 months and binge away.

I watched this one recently and thought I remembered it had been recommended here some time ago.
I indeed enjoyed it (a lot), so a delayed thanks for the recommendation. I absolutely loved the whole visual aspect. All sorts of 80s style flashy colors in artificial lights is the perfect antidote to todayās boring monochrome and exactly what I want to see. I donāt know if Iād call it a masterpiece at the level of Coppolaās 70s works as it has some flaws, but it might be the best looking film ever made, wow.
Iād like to live in the alternate reality where this film and āheavenās gateā were commercial hitsā¦

The Flop House is going to do a live episode reviewing the '87 He-Man movie, so I thought Iād give it a watch. Man, thereās a scene that completely melted my brain in which famed stage actor Frank Langella breaks the fourth wall, looks right at the audience, and delivers maybe the most batshit crazy monologue Iāve ever seen. One of the joys of watching crappy movies is seeing these rare moments when a quality actor just has an absolute blast playing a ridiculous role. I read that Langella took the part because his kids were fans of the He-Man toys.

Saw Encanto today. Big old meh. Thought the ending was super lame and I felt like they rushed numerous parts of the story
Iām completely spellbound by Rockers on the Criterion Channelās new reggae collection. It starts off being a homage to Bicycle Thieves but then it veers off into being a noir heist movie with a chill reggae groove. Direction and cinematography are top-notch. Itās just gorgeous, Iāve watched it twice now.
Hereās the first three minutes, if youāre intrigued, this is the movie for you:
So how did the movie Sh*thouse get that title? Itās a completely different movie than the name implies.
I liked it, did not love it. 6.5/10
He was too much of a whiny bitch for her to end up with him, unless it really took him 2.5 years to get back out of the friend zone.
Finally have a chance to see Drive My Car. I took a while to grow on me, but the movie is gorgeous and wonderful and very quiet. I think I liked Asako I & II better, but still this is very good.
I know one or two of you guys like old-timey noir stuff, Murder at the Vanities is a real gem. Pre-code 1930ās murder mystery with marijuana and Duke Ellington and outstanding performances from everyone.Very competent cozy mystery and also an interesting historical artifact.

Totally forgot this is on HBO now. Iāll have to check it out soon.
The Batman is visually stunning, way too long but a decent neo-noir that really didnāt need the Batman mythos.

Lol yep I only went because of Matt Reeves. It actually has almost no āsuperheroā to it which explains my not hating it.
He just has a big crush on Pattinson because of how much he loves the Twilight books and movies.

Batman is a blank slate, get a good director and it will be a good movie.
Nolan just did an homage to Heat which was great.
People have said this has se7en vibes, which Iām all for as a huge Fincher fan.
