4/19
Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare (dir. Guy Ritchie)

Boy Kills World
Humane (dir David Cronenberg’s daughter)

Saw Monkey Man (Dev Patel’s directorial debut), which has been touted as “John Wick in Mumbai”.   Thought it was great and fairly subdued stylistically so the John Wick thing didn’t really land with me, but I kinda liked how it was doing its own thing and not trying to call attention to itself with flashiness.    Also, loved the anti-Modi message

Femme is worth your time.

Anyone see Late Night with the Devil yet?  Hope to see it soon


Also, go see Dune 2 while you still can

[EdLawndale]

I too am looking forward to Civil War

Agreed on Dune 2

I’m not a big horror guy so I’m waiting til it’s on Shudder in a few weeks.   I’ll give horro a try if the word of mouth is significant enough like Talk to Me.

Late Night was great, last 10 minutes: “What the shit?!?”

In a Violent Nature looks good; A24 Friday the 13th

Wow!! Dune 2 was out of this world. Could not recommend this enough. Even if you weren’t feeling part 1, part 2 is outstanding.

I’ve heard the opposite, most recently from my friend yestersay when we went to see it, but for me I had exactly the same feeling at the end of the second as I did for the first ”I wish I could continue watching the next one right now”

I can see that some aspects of the plot might not appeal to everyone but I guess that comes from the source material. To me the audio/visuals are exquisite and there’s something appealing/intriguing about how absolute (for lack of a better word?) the characters lives are. Like almost makes me want to get back into the military…

It's funny, because I have heard multiple people say that, while they know Dune 2 is objectively a better film, they still prefer the first one.

It's like some preferring Fellowship of the Ring where others like Return of the King more. The world building and first introduction to everything can just hit the spot

Yup.  And this is Act 2 (seemingly) so it’s without a final resolution.    Dune 2 felt like it needed like 15-20 min more

[Atiba Applebum]

Civil War was good!    Will leave it at that to not color opinions bc I know people will see it regardless

Totally would've enjoyed another hour even haha.  But yeah the 3rd film is actually a new separate book Dune The Messiah so it's likely going to pick up pretty far down the future. I haven't read the book but supposedly there's a huge holy war but the book doesn't go into detail much it more so just acknowledges it happened and then carries forward from there. Hoping Denis gives us some sick in-space battle scenes at least to start the next one.

Glad to hear some praise on Civil War too, a friend really wants to see it so I'll probably join next week

[Atiba Applebum]

Let me tell ya, I fucking loved Challengers.   Very much not “Devils Threeway: The Film”.   More Bull Durhamy than some seamy gen y sex movie like it’s being marketed

civil war was underwhelming and kinda sucked

Not enough men getting hit in the groin by a football?

i may be braindead so im not entirely sure what you're referencing... but yes, more dudes getting nut-shotted by a couple sports balls would've definitely made it more entertaining
