Regarding your spoiler: yeah, full agreement. Just pure cinematic bliss. My buddies and I were just laughing in pure awe at how awesome everything on screen was. Even the earlier action sequences were outrageous. I loved Donnie Yen’s character, easily my favorite supporting character in a Wick movie

Got my ticket for Enys Men on Wednesday. Pretty sure I'm in for an instant classic.

A Good Person: 3.5/5 - Actually quite liked this. Florence Pugh masterfully portrays someone who's life is going great but then something tragic happens which sends her spiraling out of control. Morgan Freeman can also apparently still act! There's plenty of melodrama in here that you've all seen before but its executed reasonably well with a great soundtrack.

My Neighbor Totoro: 3/5 - Too much "nothing is happening" for me. Totoro himself is awesome but only gets like 10 minutes of screentime. Very cute and pleasant but I prefer many others Miyazakis

Dungeons & Dragons: 3.5/5 - Just a good ol fashioned fun time. Likeable characters go on a zany quest and find themselves in a bunch of silly situations. Kinda feels like a Marvel movie but a lot more free if that makes sense, like they're not being bogged down by studio interference or adhering to a wider narrative. If you don't like MCU type humor you might be bored with this one, but if MCU-style humor works for you then you'll probably laugh and enjoy the antics.

Fun fact. This whole movie was filmed in my immediate neighborhood. I recognized houses down the road from me. I'll have to see the movie to see if my building is in any shots.

That is cool as hell. Were you ever around to see them doing any filming? I would have tried to catch a glimpse of Florence, she rides her bike all over the place in the movie

Was there anything shot in a school? If so, it's definitely the school next to my building because it's been closed for a while and there was a lot of activity all last year in there. I have a customer who works for the department of Ed and he mentioned they were filming there but couldn't recall the title of the film.

I did notice in the trailer right after some f*ckboy gets caught with his clothes off that there's a pink house shown. That house is on Church st in Montclair right down the road from my old apartment. My new one is the town over but it's NJ. The town over is basically 1/2 mile. We got small ass towns.

Yeah that was phenomenal. The cinematography was stunning and the narrative approach was excellently crafted. The terse messaging and ambiguity remind me a lot of Eggers. Far and away MOTY for me so far. 9.98/10 (wasn't fond of some of the lofi audio)

I'd bump that up to a 3.5/5 imo. I like all the references to Gods and how the main villains were basically Wonder Woman villains in the comics. I loved all the easter eggs and cameos that ended up happening. I'd even venture to push it to 4/5.

YorkeDaddy

Can't quite recall anything in a school but maybe that's where the AA meetings in the movie or something were being held. Either way, very cool to be so close to the production of a solid movie

Very ****ing mad that I can't find showtimes for this anywhere in my area. The comparison to Eggers has my full attention, I will be seeing this as soon as I can

Yeah I could see how one could dig it a lot more than I did. I just really, and I mean really hated most of the final ~hour of the film.

I'll rate these because it was the most movies I had watched in years:

- Belfast (2021)
:: Horrible movie, stupid everything, didnt seem real, good story but just overall bad movie
5.5/10

- Uncut Gems (2019)
:: This was great, ending was awesome. Made sports betting seem bad which is why I don't bet.
9.5/10


- The Quiet Man (1952)
:: Not really good, treated women badly, definitely old school story line.
6.3/10


- The Many Saints of Newark (2021)
:: Pretty good, kept ya wondering which characters were who in the real show. the plot was interesting and overall not bad
7.9/10

- Secondhand Lions (2003)
:: Stupid movie, seems like a Disney kid's movie, very 1990s vibe. Overall it just seemed silly
5.9/10

- The Banshees of Inisherin (2022)
:: Good movie, this was 2nd best in the line-up of movies watched. was realistic and the story was wild. The dude chopped off his fingers because a dude wouldn't stop talking to him
9/10
