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.

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.

- The Banshees of Inisherin (2022)

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

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.

I went into this with zero expectations and ended up loving it so much. I was a bit tired so I dozed off at one or two parts of it but it's definitely a 4/5 for me.

I watched that Top Gun: Maverick movie last night.

What a cheese fest. I liked some of it and hated some of it. All the action scenes were amazing. Tom Cruise is still a star. The dialogue just wasn't for me.

I love that movie so much I saw it three times in the theater and I watched it again four nights ago.

I'm all about the action scenes they were super intense.

I ended up going to the Mystery Monday movie thing that Regal does and I got surprised with an advanced screening of Mafia Mamma with Toni Coletti.

Based off of the trailers I wouldn't have bothered watching honestly and I love Toni Coletti as an actress but it was pretty great. I know stupid reviewers will end up panning it because they feel like it's too feminist and girl power of a movie. I won't spoil it but I definitely had a good time and I'm mad that I prejudged it so hard just based off of the trailers.

I skipped this mystery movie Monday because Paint was so meh but it sounds like I would enjoy that one a bit more. I might check it out when it gets a normal release later this month

Three hours though until the Mario movie, cannot wait
