@fuckfetish@fuckaas.space It's like when I finally got around to watching Casablanca, and learned where roughly a quarter of my dad's favorite little sayings came from. XD

@filmfileuk@mastodonapp.uk List time! =)

  • Spiral (1998) - The forgotten original sequel to Ringu.
  • Enys Men - It made a splash upon release, but I've heard nothing about it since
  • Antiviral - Brandon Cronenberg's debut feature
  • Possessor - Even his more popular follow up isn't talked about as much as it should be!
  • Deerskin - Quentin Dupieux's best movie, IMHO
  • The Wolf House, Willy's Wonderland, and Color Out of Space - None are exactly obscure, but neither are they as widely seen as they deserve.

My review of the new heist-thriller from David Mackenzie, who also directed last year's Relay, is up!

The central experiences they talk about here, especially the recognition that the experience of working in the tech industry has radically changed from the buzzing excitement of the 2010s, resonate with me quite strongly.

@filmfileuk And finally:

  • "Last and First Men" is a minimalist, slow cinema odyssey, a future documentary passed down from the dying days of the Universe and last days of mankind, and the only film directed by the late Jóhann Jóhannsson.

@filmfileuk - "Tamala 2010: A Punk Cat in Space" is Blade Runner crossed with The Crying of Lot 49, but also anime and CGI and...just...a whole ass vibe

  • "The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra" is a hilarious satire of 50s scifi

  • "They Cloned Tyrone" is a fun flick that was overshadowed by releasing the same weekend as Barbie and Oppenheimer

  • "Tribulation 99: Alien Anomalies Under America" is a collage film "documentary" of alien conquest of the US gov that's actually about colonialism more broadly

@filmfileuk How much time you got? XD

  • "Computer Chess" and "The History of Time Travel" are funny and clever faux-documentaries

  • "Beyond the Infinite Two Minutes" and "River" get a TON of mileage out of simple, recognizable premises

  • "Strawberry Mansion" is a surreal, hyper-saturated late-capitalist hellscape dotted by retro-futurist technology.

  • "Neptune Frost" is an unabashed Afro-futurist fever dream.

  • "Minor Premise" is an underseen split personality thriller.

And now for something, completely different.

And utterly delightful! Especially as an American who quite enjoys cornbread.

@filmfileuk Along with The Odyssey, I'm super pumped for Disclosure Day. There are a ton of smaller movies I'm looking forward to, as well. The biggest of those are I Love Boosters, Backrooms, Evil Dead Burn, and Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (which is the new Jane Schoenbrun movie). Also arguably Ice Cream Man, the new Eli Roth movie. I doubt it will be good, but maybe it'll be fun trash?

@filmfileuk So, so many! The final scene of Hamnet and Nine Days immediately come to mind. People (rightfully) talk about the beginning of UP. But almost as devastating for me is when Carl picks up "My Adventure Book" one last time. I was also crying through the entire final ten minutes of Toy Story 3. In contrast, 2021 French movie Full Time hit me ten minutes in, when she's standing on the train. Her day had been so crazy stressful, the sudden stillness was unexpectedly overwhelming.

@gintoxicating I currently use DreamHost. Although my renewal is coming up, and the price more than doubled compared to last year. So I may jump somewhere else.

@filmfileuk Even MORE recently, I sat next to a random dude during Quantumania. I daresay no one has enjoyed a movie more than this man. He got so excited at each new plot point. It was delightful, despite hating the movie itself.

@filmfileuk Well, my first kiss was in a movie theater. XD More recently, I caught Eileen in a packed theater opening night of a film festival. There's a big, super well played twist near the end. And the moment it was revealed, there were loud gasps throughout the audience, that rippled throughout. It was magical. Great movie, too!

Woah...they're actually doing it! The 50th anniversary re-release of Star Wars is going to be the original theatrical cut, remastered! Even as someone who's not particularly a Star Wars fan, this is incredibly exciting. https://gizmodo.com/star-wars-original-version-rerelease-2000696337 #movies
