The Last Movie You Saw?

[KoV]

^wait that cheap-looking 'remake' from...last year? 2022? was a musical?

They turned the 2004 movie into a Broadway show several years ago, and the 2023 movie was an adaptation of the Broadway musical.

Kingdom (2019 Japanese movie set in the Warring States era). Mainly watched it because it was on Netflix and didn't look like their usual slop but very distinctly like a Japanese theatrical-release movie, which it was. But yeah, it was...not good and I don't get the point of having the lone female character in the entire movie be dressed like a life sized ancient-era plushie I was high as a kite and the costume just made me laugh (not even joking she's dressed as an owl all the way through)

I typically hate (or just generally avoid) horror movies, but everything I've heard about the new Nosferatu makes it sound like a must-see.

Robert Eggers is to filmmaking what Alexander McQueen was to high fashion. Such a masterclass of substance brimming, seething beneath all the brilliant imagery.

Like his The VVitch, hIs versions of Nosferatu instantly gives gothic fairy tale. But I get the horror vibes most are feeling. (BTW, couldn’t keep my eyes off Ralph Ineson; his stature, his voice, his body. YSL-era Stefano Pilati reminds me a lot of him.)

honestly there's been such a dearth of film that isn't either CGI-filled bloat or Oscar bait, sometimes you just want to watch a film that feels like it was shot with some kind of vision/perspective in mind without being up itself about it
I just rewatched Mustang, and now I find the director is doing that film on Paris Fashion Week with Angelina Jolie! Honestly excited about that one, and Angelina as Maria Callas too.

I just rewatched 101 Dalmatians and now I'm watching the sequel and it led me to read about the real-life inspiration behind Cruella's character, Tallulah Bankhead. The woman was a riot : wild, free, outrageous, outlandish, an icon ! Really makes me wanna read more about her and find other people like her.

Went to see QUEER last night and kinda loved it. Daniel Craig was as good as he’s ever been and the visuals were something else.

Saw Gladiator II. It was otay but for whatever reason one of my biggest takeaways was I did not like it when Geta threw the drink on Caracalla and it splashed the little monkey!!! 🥺

That was my last movie as well, from Friday night. I have no clue who Drew Starkey is, but he sure is easy on the eyes. I also liked JW Anderson's menswear, which is something I never thought I'd say. Good movie, all around.

I liked the costumes as well. I'm not the biggest JW Anderson fan but with the restrictions/expectations of period-appropriate costumes, I thought he rose to the occasion.

I'm Still Here, It's a Brazilian film that talks about the disappearance of a former politician during the dictatorship in our country. Fernanda Torres was nominated for a Golden Globe. Watch it, guys, the performances are perfect.

Went to see Eyes Wide Shut in a cinema last night. Talk about a feel-good Christmas movie
