I'm not a basketball expert by any means

But geez, the Nets passing game is *horrid*

Generational trauma at its finest with the added benefit of being rooted in real-life events.

Zac Efron deserves credit for showing what he can do with great direction.

4.0/5

I need to know what Zac's steroid budget was for this movie.

Tonight's film:

The Iron Claw

Watching the Jon Oliver segment on Bari Weiss.

The thing that continuously went through my mind watching this?

"Tokens get spent"

Seriously, Dr. Strangelove is a much better movie on the same topic, and a dark comedy on top of it all.

"A House of Dynamite" is what I expect from someone that phones it in because the paycheck is too good.

It throws away whatever was built up in the first 30 minutes for no rhyme or reason, only to rehash it poorly over and over again.

"The Hurt Locker" and "Zero Dark Thirty" this ain't.

2.25/5

Tonight's film:

A House of Dynamite

(I know I owe a review on "Ex Machina")

Except from article about Sanae Takaiichi from the NY Times. Text “She wants to make Japan strong and prosperous for the people of Japan and for the world,” said Yoshiko Sakurai, a prominent journalist and activist who has supported Ms. Takaichi. “She is open to the outside world. But she also understands that we have to be really good Japanese. We have to know our own culture, traditions, philosophy and history.”

Sanae Takaichi resists acknowledging Japan's wartime atrocities.

She denies coercion used against Korean comfort women and campaigned to remove references in school books about wartime sexual slavery

I guarantee she'll never acknowledge Unit 731.

History requires an acknowledgement of the truth.

NY Times article on Sanae Takaichi titled: Japan Has a New Leader, and She's a Heavy Metal Drummer

Please stop trying to soften up what is at BEST, damaging ultra conservative figures.

This is not unbiased.

Tonight's movie

Ex Machina

Even though Iris being a robot was ruined for me before seeing this, it's a very entertaining look at questions around power dynamics, autonomy, gender roles and what makes for a sentient being.

Although seeing Jack Quaid as something other than happy-go-lucky takes getting used to.

3.75/5

Tonight's film

"Companion"

Except from New York Times article about Sora 2: Sora has restrictions on some sexual and copyrighted content. You can make a video with the characters of the television show “South Park,” for instance, but not Batman or Superman figures. Rights holders must opt out of their work’s being used in Sora through a copyright disputes form on a case-by-case basis. Public figures may choose to grant permission for Sora to use their likenesses.

"We're going to steal, and you have to try and stop us"

Crazy that it still surprises me that under capitalism the default is to break the law.

Sometimes all the elements are there but it just doesn't come together in the way one expects.

Jessica Chastain delivering a screenplay and directed by Aaron Sorkin should be a slam dunk, and yet, it lacks the punch that so much of Sorkin's dialog usually has.

2.5/5

Random Kevin Costner

Also, love that u can immediately see the impact of Sorkins writing/direction.

Tonight's movie

Molly's Game

Screenshot from MSNBC titled Justice Samuel Alito says he is not calling for same-sex marriage ruling to be overturned

He's lying.

YouTube video by Sloppy Seconds - Topic Why Don't Lesbians Love Me?

My daughter asked YouTube Music to play "Sloppy Seconds" by Lay Bankz and it returned "Why Don't Lesbians Love Me?" by Sloppy Seconds.

I have a new favorite song.

And yes I made her listen to it.

Cyclone is a very cool character and seeing Sammo move is always a delight.

Unfortunately an incredulous story, horrible editing around the fight scenes and "spirit power" weigh this film down immeasurably.

2/5

More than There Will Be Blood?

I was hyped before, now I'm REALLY hyped.

Tonight's movie

Twilight of the Warriors: Walled In

What am I watching tonight people?

I could start the 28 days franchise.

Eddington

Victoria

Hot Milk

Molly's Game

Banshees of Insherin

Companion (I'm leaning towards this)

The Order

Twilight if the Warriors: Walled In (maybe this one too)

So many more ..

We're agreed that Peacemaker is just one massive trauma dump, right?

Wes Anderson knows how to craft an absurdist story with heart and make it look beautiful on screen.

Despite Benicio and the rest of the cast's brilliance, it gets slightly repetitive towards the end.

3.75/5

Always love a random Willem Dafoe appearance

Tonight's film

"The Phonecian Scheme"

Good rec! Thank you.

What movie should I watch tonight?

Taking recommendations

Tonight's movie

Mars Express
