MABB v6.6.6

Watching now? Football.

oh man, too many to mention

American pie 2

Finished up hell on wheels earlier today

i watched Fury the other day, pretty good

I'm almost done with the second season of Fargo. I've had a good time watching. Neither here nor there, but for whatever reason shows I've seen that have aired on FX have tended to be visually stunning. Sort of that dark but crisp lighting. I like that

I also fell into the habit of putting on Mike Tyson Mysteries while falling asleep. it's the perfect show under those circumstances

The newest season was alright. I watched as it aired so I'm sure I missed some shit along the way

Watching some Ben Finegold videos

Hopefully Ozark hasn't been ruined

knife f5

Finished yesterday. Story of cocaine dealer who sells to rich people, parliament members, tv celebrities in Warsaw. It's based on book by writer Jakub Żulczyk, who is now charged for calling polish president "moron".

i watched shallow grave yesterday, and had one of those moments i haven't had in a long time when you see a scene and hear dialogue and you know it is straight from a metal song sample intro

carcass

enjoy it you will

Definitely worth watching again if you haven't seen it in a while

When Ronnie breaks the gay man's telescope in time with the song :::::::

absolute fucking masterclass, man. if tarkovsky lived long enough to see it, he'd have wished he could've had a scene like that in his oeuvre

Well they're totally different in setting, tone, and style. But yes The Descent is excellent. The sequel was ok but I don't think I need to watch it again.

oh yeah don't bother with the sequel, just another dumb cash in that tarnishes the first film

while pitch black and the descent are different in many ways they are also provocative to compare in many others thus my invocation of the comparison. the descent is one of my fave horror movies ever

The Shield

The first episode would've been so much better if the director had used literally any other song than Bawitdaba for the montage scene

But the early 00 tropes that are all over that show are what give it it's charm

One of my favorite lines was during the run with Kasper.

Mackey says something along the lines of him not being able to imagine Kasper holding it down with some nubian mattress monster.

i am many movies deep into my hotel quarantine, here is what i have gotten through on the first three days

Shallow Grave
Saving Private Ryan
The Invisible Man (1933)
True Grit (1969)
Pitch Black
Uncut Gems
The Bad Sleep Well
Tequila Sunrise
Thor: Ragnarok
The End of Summer
Cold Mountain

it was pretty good i agree

That is an excellent movie.

The best Wes Anderson movie

life aquatic was the first wes anderson i saw, very sentimental

but my favourite is fantastic mr fox also

latest movies watched in quarantine last few days:

Robin Hood: Men in Tights
Benny Loves You
Kingdom of Silence
Branded to Kill
The Quiet Duel
Kill Chain
In the Heat of the Night

i haven't seen boogie nights in aaages, i should get it

kill chain is not bad. i am a sucker for nic cage. any and all. because he is like john travolta, he can be good, but when he is bad, he is so bad he is good. like the perfect unit

branded to kill is a classic. not what you expect from the first 15 minutes which are pretty straight. highly recommended

How was Kill Chain? Nick Cage movies are always a gamble

Branded to Kill sounds interesting, I'll have to track it down. And I really need to see some Akira Kurosawa movies

Ran and Rashomon are mandatory viewing. Seven Samurai too of course.

You seen Possessor yet, Jorsh?

I have not. I will check it out.

i will watch the suspiria remake tonight

It’s better than the original and I love the original.

dextrose again, preparing for the new season

Watching 'Infinity Train' while practicing, now that I've finished re-watching all of 'Killing Eve'...'tis fun.

You think so? I made it an hour and a half in before I got bored and tapped.

I do. I’ve watched it multiple times and once 77 back to back and my opinion holds up. 77 is a damn classic but the remake has loads of atmosphere that I dig.

Brazil is a classic cunt.

i thought the suspiria remake was awesome. it was a bit long and bloated and self-indulgent but otherwise i really liked the different approach and its attempts to ground the story in 70s berlin, the exposition and greater narrative connection. the final reveal scene was jolly good, it should have ended the film, but alas it didn't. i agree that the male character played by swinton didn't really add much to the film but at least it gives the viewer a reason to leave the dance studio every once in a while

overall very different, in fact different enough to be more like a kind of reimagining of source material rather than a remake of the 1977 film. but of course that's not what it is, it all flows from the 1977 film. the focus on breathing and dance was very cool. you should watch it again skinno

Distilled thoughts of a true gent. Pretty much my sentiments

it's motherfuckin' whitaker time

Fuck yes

Legit might be one of my favorite stretches of any tv series. Anthony Anderson might have had the 2nd best run of episodes on that show though.

"For All Mankind" - seriously good alternate-history take on the space race.

"Galavant" - very fun musical piss-take of just about every fantasy trope ever.

Rewatching Mundhunter with the girlfriend as she hasn’t seen it.

That actually looks awesome
