Good One dir. India Donaldson [2024]

finally caught up w/ GOOD ONE. hinges on a moment so abrupt, yet finely executed that it left me breathless. patiently charts the topography of middle-aged discontent before shifting to account for its wreckage, all captured within the wonderful lily collias' attuned performance. a major work!

ICYMI - we talked to Pascal Plante, director of RED ROOMS and its thematic ties to Spanish thriller THESIS. its a great conversation about art, mediated experiences, and the joy of watching a film that treats you as an intelligent participant.

Like Plante's latest RED ROOMS, Amenábar's THESIS (1996) has much to say about emerging technologies as empathy killers that derealize our corporeal experiences, diminish our discernment, and produce a flattened equivalency of violent images across screens. real & unreal merge into one.

Thanks to @hitfactorypod.bsky.social to help me rediscover Johnny Mnemonic, a movie I loved as a kid and then thought it was bad because of popular perception. It rocks.

Ghostwatch (1992)

GHOSTWATCH (1992) is one of the scariest fucking things i've ever seen. that it stays so restrained - almost dull - and actively rewards your disregard/skepticism for so long only adds to its immense power to terrify. had a tough time turning the lights off after this one.
