Mä¸gan was better than I expected, looks great, goes into some interesting worklife/parenting/internet boundary issues that I was not expecting, does what it says on the tin, good silly fun horror film with some legit moments.
Demon Seed: This movie starts off as a basic horror film about an evil AI that takes over a smart house and then shit just gets weird. You think you see where the movie is going and it keeps throwing curveballs and getting weirder and weirder until youâre seeing a haunted house impregnate a lady and the child becomes Satan, itâs 31 flavors of WTF. Late 70âs was a special time for science fiction.
Re-recommending Mad God because it is literally infinitely rewatchable, Claymation horror masterpiece, A+.
LMAO almost good enough to /thread

Mad God was certainly something. Not sure I liked it, but still worth checking out.
At a 99 on RT too out of 160 reviews
It seems like itâs not so much a âbullies/convertiblesâ thing as an âeveryone-in-movies/convertiblesâ thing.

Thereâs a very specific thing with bullies in convertibles, where at least some of them are sitting up on the trunk, and the good cool guy/girl has to decide to stay behind with the nerd instead of gallivanting off with the cool kids. Itâs not just anyone driving around in a convertible in a movie. Although in Stand By Me itâs just bullies. But they were sitting up on the trunk.

Donât know how this gets a recommendation without mentioning Julie Christie in the lead role and that director Cammellâs first release since Performance (which he co-directed with Nic Roeg) shares some of the same themes in a sci-fi setting.
Iâm watching The Dark Knight for only the second time since I saw in theaters, then got in a fight with my girlfriend right afterwards. This movie is so brutal. Great movie but I feel like shit all over again. Itâs just so dark and grinding. The Rewatchables on this better be worth it.
Time to go right into City Slickers to get my mind off this.

Ready Player One is hot garbage
Hot take is that Indy 5 turned out better with Mangold than it would have with Spielberg
You familiar with the now defunct podcast Spill? They have imo the best review of all time for The Dark Knight. I laughed so hard and yet also felt like they really got what makes the movie amazing to experience.
Korey reformed as Double Toasted and recently reviewed The Batman.
I dug Ready Player One. Like I doubt Iâll ever care enough to rewatch it, but I thought it was pretty enjoyable in my one go at it.

Ohhhhhhhhh. I wrote about this a while back!
Link since Medium is actually a clone of Twitter that no longer renders 
I kinda feel the same way. Happy but conflicted but happy for Curtis.
The only logical way to look at this is the Oscarâs are silly political junk based very little on merit.

No thanks
Fair. I used to love the Oscarâs but lost my faith!
Also even after the recent attempts to diversify its still a voting pool dominated by cis white men. They are going to get it wrong more often than right.
Have you seen Joy Ride? I think youâd enjoy the humor, but also have some interesting takes about the themes of identity and chosen family/community that it explores.
