Because its good! What follows next (Suicide Squad) warrants that question lol

“Good” is a relative term.

90s Essential Movies rewatch with the oldest. Sweet lord, I was so in love with Julie Delpy after I saw this. Should I show the oldest Killing Zoe?

An all timer. About to rewatch all 3 of these this month.

Fast-forward the first minute or so. Ain't down with no animal cruelty.

Saw The Brutalist. Loved the first part. The 2nd part…uh WTF? It felt a bit like two different movies. Adrian Brody and Guy Pearce winning Oscars is fine by me.

Anora is next on the list.

The 2nd half is definitely more oblique than the first half leads you to believe. You think it's going to be some American Dream story, but it's a more obfuscated look at how trauma and violence inform art and culture. The ending is definitely tongue and cheek. Don't think a lot of it is meant to be taken literally.

Spoiler

I'll admit it's a very complicated movie and some of the context may be lost on me due to my own lack of film education. I think the movie stands for many different things. Technically, it's an incredible movie. It is beautifully shot. I loved the use of Vistavision. The cinematography is superb. I think the 2nd act just felt weirdly disjointed and maybe that's on purpose and speaks to the art and what you said. I'll admit I am not the most adept at understanding what a filmmaker is going for with their work. It's why I'm thrilled my wife got me the Criterion Channel subscription because I enjoy challenging movies, especially as I get older. I would love to watch this again and see how the 2nd act feels with a repeat viewing. It definitely sticks with you and that's a great thing for a film to do in the day of so much disposable filmmaking and recycled ideas.

I just read that it’s possible Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World might be getting a UHD release this year. I will shed tears

Maybe the real Suicide Squad was the friends we made along the way.

Was able to catch A Complete Unknown at the Alamo this week thanks to the Oscar nom. Doesn't really bring anything new to the table as far as biopics go, but I thought it was an absolute pleasure to watch, and the musical performances are genuinely electric (no pun intended).

I really wish they made this a series. There's so much source material it feels like a rip off we only got one movie out of it. Russel Crowe and Paul Bettany were delightful together.

I guess there just isn't that much market for a 19th century naval combat series.

But throw Johnny Depp on a boat as an obnoxious pirate and print that money.

Timmy was fantastic but Monica Barbaro blew me away
