Short top ten list of must see (for me) current directors in no particular order... 1. Park Chan-wook 2. Ari Aster 3. Yorgos Lanthimos 4. Bong Joon Ho 5. Robert Eggers 6. Alex Garland 7. Christopher Nolan 8. Brandon Cronenberg 9. Osgood Perkins 10. Rose Glass And honorable mention junior must...

Watched No Other Choice this weekend a crazy mix of current A.I. job replacement themes and vintage Park Chan-wook (very) dark and somewhat violent sense of humor. If you are a fan of his work then you will like this one IMO. Takes a while to get rolling but gets pretty crazy like most of his...

Saw this creepy latest A24 thing in the theater early Sunday morning. Pretty cool soundtrack the majority of the scary parts are heard and not seen. A lot of effort went into the sound mix which I appreciated. One unfortunate thing was that there was a loud action movie playing in the adjacent...

After the opening scene I fast forwarded through the rest of Monarch episode four then switched to Car Wow videos on the treadmill this morning. This season of Monarch is losing my interest rapidly.

Dune 3 trailer looks great hoping it comes to local IMAX.

I still need to see Hamnet, Train Dreams, Sentimental Value and Secret Agent. Side note I was glad to see Amy Madigan win a supporting actress award for Weapons... which I know was not for everyone... but her performance was bonkers and award worthy IMO. Less interested in Marty Supreme I like...

I'll watch anything with Godzilla in it and/or pretty much any other large monsters... for example Colossal with Anne Hathaway which I really enjoyed. But this Monarch series and agreed the more recent American/Legendary movies are just not so great... also agreed especially in comparison to...

Pretty bummed about season two of Monarch on Apple TV+ it’s pretty awful. Story and characters all feel forced and/or random. Like they fed a bunch of Godzilla-ish key words onto AI and it spit out this storyline. Looking forward the some legit Godzilla when Minus Zero comes out in November.

It’s wacky but just enough not to ruin it IMO… we watch it every Christmas now it’s our new tradition.

Good stuff thanks.

LOVED the first film. Saw it twice in the theater and bought a copy on blu-ray. The sequel was fun but agreed over the top and gratuitous silliness. Could have lived without it although I understand the attempt to capitalize on the success of the first film. If you want to see another earlier...

More Orbit Culture. Not 100% certain but this might be my new favorite start to finish metal song in a decade (regardless of genre).

Rental Family with Brendan Fraser. Really enjoyed it especially the the Japanese cityscape/landscape cinematography urban and otherwise. Sleeper little movie should win some awards for one thing or another.

I also prefer the larger maps, Conquest, etc. I miss the really large maps and lobbies from BF1 Conquest. Lately I have been playing Casual Breakthrough just to be able to actually level up some weapons and temporarily escape from the sweatiest of sweaty sweats. Massacring bots is great for...

Liking the game OK... although not nearly as enjoyable as BF1 or even BFV. The maps are much smaller and so TTE is way too fast feels more like a COD game pace. But some maps are better then others and less hectic. They just announced some new and bigger maps on the way so hopefully that happens...
