    I watched Robert Egger’s Nosferatu. It was good, not as good as The Witch or The Lighthouse IMO, but still good.

        I guess I am in the minority but I still fail to see why anyone would be excited for a sequel to the original. I watched it and it was fine but there were no unanswered questions or character threads that needed more development on screen. The monster gimmick worked well once but got old quite quickly. It amazes me that this ever became a series in the first place. It seemed like a perfect example of a solid, one-off science fiction/horror film.

          You should check out Day One. I can’t remember anything from the second movie but Day One is a solid exploration of a different aspect of the universe.

            Sorry, I meant I watched the first one. Not really interested in watching the second to get to the third (assuming they are connected).

              I picked up on that, and I would say skipping the second one is fine but the original and Day One are really good

    The Death of Stalin seeing Iannuci’s name attached in the opening credits told me everything that I was in for, really.

    Not sure quite how historically accurate it is, but nothing overly glaring on a casual watch.

    Dark fun, although perhaps a little too glib in one or two places. Be interested to know how it meshes with the lived experiences of people under Stalin.

      I’ll never forget opening this one up without looking up anything and thinking it was going to be a historical drama lmao

    Josie and The Pussycats(2001)

    Watched this one for the first time last night. Weird flick. I appreciated some of the satire but the jokes just were mostly just goofball. Interesting commentary on commercialism just could’ve been a lot funnier.

    The Brutalist! I enjoyed it, and it didn’t feel like 3.5 hrs. I’d recommend watching it at a theater for sure. Thought it was a real story until I looked it up LOL

    Finally, The menu. Liked it, which is unusual since I’m very critical and have high standards.
