Mr. Chatywin et al. Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) 65 isn't a bad movie Imo. They just messed up the marketing by revealing everything in the trailer. Driver is solid per usual and Ariana Greenblatt will become a big star. Book it. Edited May 17, 2023 by Tywin et al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small cast. And I thought it be smart to have Driver get eaten in the final scene. #spoilers @RumHam ETA: There's something called Hatched on Prime that I'm tempted to check out. Seems like a lazy JP knockoff, but I'm game. Edited May 18, 2023 by Tywin et al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really struggled with the previous episode, it felt like such a departure and was relentlessly grim. But the latest ep really grabbed me. I’m enjoying the time jump now. This show has just gone in a direction I never expected after that first episode. Gotta appreciate that. Jace, Extat 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup Even the critics that didn't care about the casting controversy thought that the acting and writing was generally bad and the "documentary" doesn't really feel factual. If it's a documentary on Netflix then it's safe to assume it is probably total trash in the first place. I can't tell if race swapping Cleopatra was done as some sort of deliberate political statement (which if you look at the comments by the creators it would suggest it was) or was it done with an eye on creating a load of controversy about a show that nobody was going to watch anyway. Probably a bit of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then you get Re-Animator, which a few friends and I still joke about two decades later after we saw it. Edited May 18, 2023 by Tywin et al.

TheLastWolf Posted May 18, 2023 Author Share Posted May 18, 2023 (edited) Hope everybody knows Modern Love, anthology inspired by the NYT column. Also the Tokyo and Amsterdam versions Also Mumbai and Hyderabad The latest set in Chennai dropped today. On Amazon Prime Video, not sure if available all over the world. Ok I don't know how to say this. I'll go with a step at a time linear approach. The first 5 episodes are good but nothing extraordinary and require a lot of local cultural contexts to relate and appreciate. I should know, trust me. But the last. Longest among the 6 (69 minutes). Phew. Swallows*. Best fucking cinema I've seen like in a looong time. Directed by Thiagarajan Kumararaja. Has only 2 other features to his credit which are themselves masterpieces but IMHO have a contextual barrier to an extent. Creative producer of ML:C here. Did I mention how fucking great it was !? It's like Wong Kar Wai & Woody Allen had a kid with Nolan and Villeneuve. Arrenofsky & Refn on the side. Doyle's camerawork is nearly ousted by the DoPs' here. And the art lighting sets and costumes and writing and performances. I could go on. Also part of the same cinematic universe his other two features were set in. Innumerable Easter eggs contribute to exquisite worldbuilding. Nothing inyourface ish. Manh Edited May 19, 2023 by TheLastWolf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadlines? What Deadlines? Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 White House Plumbers: i rewatched episode 2 & 3. Great show. I didn’t even realize Kathleen Turner was in it until the second viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jace, Extat Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Just saw the D&D movie. Dope. Good fun. Chris Pine was fucking hilarious. I have no problem enjoying him in the Star Trek movies, all the actors in them are great, but he really shined here as Michele Rodriguez kicked ass. Fun movie. The whole cast was good. Would recommend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
