Invalid. It’s a comedy about a man in a wheelchair who fights local city mafia
I just saw Flow in theaters last night. Excellent, wholly original animated movie that conveyed a story without any words.
It’s unusual, but it was a little-known Russian movie from which I didn’t expect much, but in the end I liked it. It was Lord of the Wind (2023). Although I usually don’t like modern movies lately. It is about Fyodor Konyukhov is a Russian survivalist, voyager, aerial and marine explorer and his round-the-world balloon flight. Unfortunately, I don’t know if it is available in English.
Shrek on VHS

Make good movies.
Best I can do is safe and unimaginative with lots of marketing and a big cast of overpaid actors past their prime.
Stop cramming activism into everything and we won’t hate the garbage you keep making.
John Wick was an awesome series of movies.
Damsel was horrible.
One of those IPs was a good story about a guy fighting against a lot of powerful stuff, the other was constant virtue signaling straight out of the lifetime network from 15 years ago “men are bad and will hurt you”
Sorry, all I heard there was “WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!”

Good to know you’re incapable of understanding the substance of what people say.
John Wick was an awesome series of movies.
They’d burned through the premise badly inside the first two films. And that’s before you read it as Equilibrium with the serial numbers filled off.
Which is a shame. All that money on effects and direction and talent. Nobody thought to hire a screenwriter worth a shit to make any of the theatrics meaningful.
Must be a cowardly existence to be made to feel ideologically fragile by just watching a movie lol
That might mean your belief system doesn’t hold up to any scrutiny whatsoever but hey, maybe it’s the one time in history that someone was offended by questions about their beliefs for a reason other than they’re a trash fire.

Is that some kind of projection?
Yes when I watch a movie that hints at a progressive idea, I break my television in anger and then I cry
just like many of the democrat voters did when Trump won.
These comments scream little dick energy. How’s that cummins running?
Lol that’s some serious cherry picking my dude. One is one of the best action movies of the last 20 years and launched a franchise. The other is a middling coming of age story made for streaming. There are plenty of bland action movies just as bad as Damsel and without an ounce of activism that come out every year. Try comparing it to Get Out, Everything Everywhere All At Once, Mad Max Fury Road, hell even Inglorious Basterds might be considered activism now that fascism is back in fashion.
Not the last original, but I caught “Her” with my SO in the cinema on a lark, just to pass the time. And we loved every bit of that film. So original in so many ways.
“Original” as in it has original ideas, or “original” as in it’s not part of an established franchise? If it’s the latter, I saw The Wild Robot in theaters. It was okay. A bit by-the-numbers, and I’m not sure everything made total sense, but it’s a kid’s movie so that was to be expected.
If the former, then, uh… Problemista? Also in theaters. I really liked that one.
Watched it again last night, but Legend of Hei. Chinese animated film I have on Blu-ray/DVD through Shout! Factory. Love the Chinese dub because I personally don’t like how they use an English translation for a few different characters names. Watched on my Blu-ray player and must say, it’s probably my tv, but I cannot really see is big difference between DVD and Blu-ray. Last movie I watched, let alone original movie.
May be based on an animated web series, but I still consider it original.
Poor Little Things in the theater
What did you think of the movie? Did you enjoy your viewing? Was it unique enough?
It’s very strange, but pretty good IMO; As long as you’re not squeamish or prude it’s worth a watch.
His Three Daughters. In the theater. Time and money well spent.
I saw the TV glow, The Wild Robot, The Substance, Fallen Leaves, Kinds of Kindness.
How would you rank these movies and TV show?
All of them pretty good in their own style, “I saw the TV glow” is the name of the movie, strange film, used a lot of terror film language but never got there, like it tried to be scary but not really just tension. I like it mainly for how strange it was, in a positive way. (Forgot to mention that I also watched Megapolis, that was also really strange but in a bore way)
Kinds of Kindness probably my favorite because is the Yargos I was missing in Poor Thighs and The Favorite.
I’m not into kids animation, so The Wild Robot, is my least favorite of them, but was entertaining.
Fallen Leaves was a cute film, not a lot of things happening, with a slow rhythm, typical European film festival movie if you’re into that.
The Substance, is fantastic, really reccomend it, even if you don’t enjoy body horror, is not that bad that you couldn’t watch. I think people are trying to see way over the message of the movie because it just too obvious, and some people need a deeper message.I saw the Tv glow is horror for queer people. If ur cishet it won’t hit the same
Tap for spoiler
It’s about failing to recognize yourself as trans an the inherent terror of living in a body that feels like a prison
Swap out The Wild Robot and Fallen Leaves for Beau is Afraid and We’re All Going to the World’s Fair and you have my list, nice
Beau is Afraid was really good, but fuck it was stressful. Like “Anxiety: The Movie”. I have “We’re all going to the world fair” in the downloads folder waiting for being on the mood for it.
Collateral. What a fucking gem of a movie.
I watched The Substance via streaming alone on my birthday night because my wife and partner aren’t into body horror. I loved it! It was really good. Definitely one of the better movies I’ve seen this year.
I quit consuming the Hollywood product almost a decade ago. I watch a lot of small content creators though. I met my wife working at a movie theater, but I’ve seen a movie in a theater maybe twice in the last ten years. I occasionally watch a show with her but if I’m by myself I don’t have any desire to consume their product.
