    The Watchers

    It is difficult to describe how exactly it met my expectations. Truly one of the most -whelming viewing experiences.

    John Wick. I don’t watch movies very often and hadn’t seen it, but I’m working on filling up my media server and that was a recent addition.

      What did you think of it? I’ve been planning to watch it for ages based purely on the hype, but it’s not the type of genre I’d usually go for so I’m not sure whether I’ll enjoy it.

        It’s high action, non-stop retribution and extremely violent. It’s over the top but great if you’re looking for that low IQ film just for the vibe.

      How did you feel about the opening 45 minutes or whatever it was? The constant time skips, loud music in every scene, etc?

      I thought it was fine. Could have been called “Manhattan Project” instead. And as an anti-war American I thought they made a compelling case at the end that the US was “forced” to obliterate all those Japanese civilians, but from a human perspective I still think it was abominable.

      It’s really funny that people did the “Barbenheimer.” The hot pink, light-hearted feminist eye candy into a 3-hour sepiatone drama starring 45 white men. I would have whiplash.

    I just finished The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. I went into it without knowing anything, and was surprised by how much I liked it!

    I finally got around to watching Deadpool & Wolverine over the weekend. While I enjoyed aspects of it and don’t regret watching it, the movie was a reminder of how and why I have Marvel / super hero fatigue.

    Also finally got around to watching The Substance and that was much more my cup o’ tea. Maybe my standards are just terribly low, but I really liked brief but thoroughly creepy final act. It reminded me of the creature features from the 80’s and 90’s and their practical effects, even if it was CGI in part.

    Ernest scared stupid.

    Kinda nice to recluse into childhood nostalgia right now. Also, I’m SO into twin peaks right now too. Almost finished with the first season.
