Paul Schrader is great. I watched The Card Counter recently and it was strange but I really liked it.

ANYONE SEEN ANY GOOD MOVIES LATELY ?

Yeah, I loved the Card Counter.
His new one, "Master Gardener" is pretty mellow even though it has a pretty crazy backstory from the main character. He calls it the third movie of a trilogy of "First Reformed", "Card Counter" and "Master Gardener". Def. worth seeing.
Just saw”Pixar’s “Soul.” enjoyed it. It was kind of lost because it was released right in the middle of the pandemic.
Anyone see the new Wes Anderson?
Anyone see the new Wes Anderson?
The Florida Project, from 2017. Top rankings from everyone. https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/the_florida_project
I watched Avatar The Way of The Water a couple days ago. It's as boring and stupid as the first one. As endless too. You've been warned.
The Tetris movie on Apple TV is dank AF. Tells the story of how the game was created and all of the entities who were trying to get rich off of it by getting it out of the Soviet Union. If you owned a Nintendo or Game Boy you will get a kick out of it. So good 
The first one sucked so bad bro that by the end I wanted the badass army humans to fuck up those stupid tall skinny Smurf blue hippy tree hugger aliens so bad. I was stocked when they fucked up their stupid cheap fiber optic lamp from Spencer‘s Gifts at the mall looking tree of life or whatever stupid bullshit they names it bro.
And don’t even get me started on their stupid fucking lame ass animal dinosaur hybrid allies.
That planet sucked bro
There’s a whole thread with a bunch of people simping for the sequel smh. Couldn’t pay me to watch it after the first one bro.
Fucking Avatar 2: The Way of Moisture if you asks me bro
I lasted like 10 mins and had to shut it off.
Took 2 episodes of deadliest catch and a fat glass of scotch undo the emotional trauma of those 10 minutes.
Watched Evil Dead Rise last night. It was ok... a fun time. Not sure why I expected more though, Evil Dead was never the kind of movie that drops your jaw, it's just good, vicious bloody fun. It's on HBO Max now so.
My favorite band, for sure. I've got three Ramones tee shirtsi re-watch this every few years. they changed the world!
full flick…
I’m not an old movie kind of guy, but I watched Chinatown with Jack Nicholson (again) last week. Such a good one.
Watching that Arnold documentary made me want to watch T1 and T2 all over again. And I was appalled to learn that my wife never watched (or doesn't remember) True Lies... how can you not have watched True Lies? Might have to take a quick trip to memory lane.
Speaking of True Lies:
Jamie Lee Curtis is amazing in The Bear Season 2.
I had no idea shed be there and she smashed it.
Twas absolute trash. At least you could turn it off. My wife and kids insisted on seeing it in the theater so I guess you had the big screen and 3-D glasses.
But if you spend hundreds of millions of dollars on special effects, why not at least invest a couple million into a decent script? Or is that too complex for Oklahoma/China?
I saw the new Vacation movie pop up on TV, gave it a go, made it 10 minutes. Just wasn't really funny - it tried way too hard.
