What about almond or oat milk?

Good thing the only milk I drink is Muscle Milk.

No expectations aside from the standard what will M. Night Shyamalan do this time …but OMG this was weirdly bent from the start. Highly recommended.

Caught this last week and it sure did make a good impression. Now I need to revisit and reconsider viewing some other recent Korean films such as Parasite (I get put off easily with eerie type films in particular horror, yes I'm a big *****).

The soundtrack is very good and immersive.

About half way through Snowpiercer. How is this rated so well?

I'll reserve final judgement until I'm done, but so far, just not good.

watching some flicks lately , here we go :

The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane ( 1976 ) : turning the tables on the lolita narrative , jodie foster ( 13 here and wearing a terribly distracting wig ) and her oddly absent poet father move to a maine village where the young lady deals with nosy neighbors and a sex pest played by martin sheen . mildly exploitative but legitimately interesting .

Barbarian ( 2022 ) : a double-booked short-term rental kicks off this x-file . meh .

The Pianist ( 2006 ) : incredible . adrien brody plays the titular musician , a civilian degraded by the trauma of german and soviet occupation of warsaw during wwii . hard to recall a war film quite like this one . recommend .

Army of Darkness ( 1992 ) : ash goes medieval , nuff said . sam raimi is a genius . recommend .

Just got around to watching Kill Bill Vol. 1 And 2 over the past couple of weekends. They're both pretty enjoyable, and I loved the exaggerated combat scenes and gore. It's also interesting how differently paced they both are, which sort of makes sense given that they were originally intended to be one film. QT's foot fetish is also quite apparent given the questionable amount of scenes showing feet. 😂

I never watched any of the Kill Bill movies, and when I saw them on Prime, I figured I would. I stopped watching #1 after like 45 minutes. Just completely unenjoyable to me.

Fair enough, I noticed that this is a common thing with many people. Vol. 1 is a lot more cartoonish, but I thought it was entertaining. Not a movie I'd re-watch frequently, but I could see myself revisiting it every now and then.

I thought it was interesting, but not great. It does come together well at the end, though.

I finished it this evening.

Conceptually it is interesting even I can't let the idea of a perpetual machine go. The ending was better than the build up I'll great you that.

But some things that really bugged me:
1. What do the people in the back do? They never explain the purpose of them other than for breeding
2. A guy who hasn't shot a gun shoots with razor sharp accuracy on a moving train to another part of the train? Plus that train curve lasts forever.
3. They never explain how they brainwash the kids they take.
4. Two humans who have never been off the train start traipsing through knee deep snow in the mountains? They're dead 5 minutes later, right?
5. They obviously skip a lot of cars for the movie, but how do they keep all the front section people in new clothes, etc?
6. They have schools for front section kids, but how are they going to handle the future when you need new doctors and other skilled trades? Just apprentice?

Same. Self congratulatory tripe.

Do you like any Tarintino movies? I find Pulp Fiction is the only one that I think is really good.

Jackie Brown was pretty decent as was Inglorious Bastards, but I generally always come back to the adjective for all of his movies: gratuitous.

I've always felt that way Scorsese.
