One Battle After Another thoughts Discussion

by

Just watched it. Dunno even know why I even had radarr set up to get it. At first I thought it was some cringey fantasy. Then I realised it was in some kind of alternative reality that was so close to reality that it gave the uncanny valley effect. Then it just went off the rails, lol. Very unusually and entertaining movie, IMO.

Wife really doesn’t like science fiction, made her watch it anyway. “Trust me, it’s great!” She was engrossed! The plot and acting really has the viewer questioning what’s going on. We all know what happened, but it would be interesting to experience it again for the first time.

Mickey 17 Discussion

by

Man I really wanted to enjoy this movie and just struggled with it from the start. Nothing works in this thing, the “Marty McFly” esque narration is just grating. I am not sure if is the break neck speed of the story or just how obvious and trite the social commentary is, all the jokes don’t land. Subtly has never been Bong Joon Ho‘s strength but man this thing just made my eyes roll and man it was tough being stuck with the biggest looser in the known universe..
