The Last Movie You Saw?

Driveways (2019) by Andrew Ahn! Such a lovely and wonderful indie. Highly recommended! :flower:
 
Hush (1998), a bit pulpy but I'll admit I just watched it for the way it looked
 
MaXXXine (2024), I didn't like it was much as X or Pearl. It was way too reliant on pastiche and it ended up dragging.

The Perfect Wife (2024), a documentary about the "disappearance" of Sherri Papini. Such an interesting true crime documentary because there wasn't actually a murder or a kidnapping, just a crazy woman faking her own kidnapping! :lol:
 
Dìdi (2024). I love coming-of-age stories, and this one is absolutely brilliant. Also Joan Chen deserves an Oscar nomination.
 
I went for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice at the weekend, the most fun I've had in a movie theatre in the last couple of years. Wasn't about to pass up a chance to see Winona on a big screen.
 
I have watched The Substance and I am not sure what to think about it. It was alright but I also expected more.
 
I saw slingshot. Not what it deserved. It was not that great , but the worst movie of the year as it will be dubbed. Not at all.

I loved it. The last 20-30 minutes were hard to stomach…. the level of violence and gore would make Mel Gibson blush. But loved it overall.
 
I wanna see The Substance so badly! So excited for it

Also just saw Speak No Evil. I thought it was pretty good! Slow burn but high tension throughout the whole thing and got pretty scary. I kept wondering if the crazy woman was Kim Petras or not lol. And also Scoot McNairy is cute 😳
 
I watched Almost Famous for the first time and.. I'm kind of disappointed. The amount of people that have talked about this like 'uh yeah I learned to appreciate music thanks to this movie' 'this movie defined my youth'.. and this is it?!.

I will say though, every time I've seen Billy Crudup shown off as a stud I wondered if I was blind, like.. this man is whatever, but man, after watching Almost Famous, I get it, he was one gorgeous man back in the day, whoever told him to cut his hair and to not have a mustache lol: wrong!
 
Hijack 1971, it was all right I think? About a plane hijacking in South Korea in, well, 1971. Pretty good action scenes but they treated the only female protagonist as such an afterthought, it was both a shame - she's a good actress - and not unexpected since this is the reality of 'male pov only' filmmaking.

I’ve been helplessly drawn to men with that sort of moustache and unruly mane of hair for the last several years. Hope that the children don't get al hold of that style and ruin it for me…

(Current age Billy Crudup with his paper-thin skin, and fragile facial features would resemble some unholy creeper if he had that moustache and hair of his Almost Famous days. Some styles are best left to our past as we age.)
 
watched My Dear Fu Bao, a movie about a panda (needed to get out of the heat for a bit and thought a movie about a cute animal was ok as a refuge).
 
Megalopolis. I enjoyed it in the way I enjoyed Showgirls. A terrible, gorgeous big budget film that should only be seen in theaters.
 
Finally saw The Substance. I kinda feel like it was more about drug usage than beauty standards. The final act did have me ijbol

I think it can kind of encompass several things, but for me it was primarily about female beauty standards and the accompanying self-loathing. Probably something interesting in there about balance, too.


Funniest movie of the year. Demi being a disgusting pig at home on her Demi weeks had me almost in tears “CONTROL YOURSELF!!!” and then the last 20 minutes I spent vacillating between laughing so hard I was crying and wanting to be sick 🤢
 
(Also I don’t mean she *looks* disgusting or like a pig, I mean… well if you see the movie you know what I mean! Demi is gorgeous so don’t come for me)
