One other thing film twitter does is pretend to enjoy mediocre crap like Avatar or its sequel. Or some dogshit Glenn Powell movie.
film Twitter has to be the most annoying group of performatively misanthropic dorks ever.

Bugonia 8/10
Definitely his most accessible film and doesn't really suffer in quality or vision for it. Quite brutal and shocking at parts, upsetting and funny in equal measure.
I think it falls down a bit in the ending unfortunately. I get the message and it should be stark.

A History of Venice.
Took me a while to grind through this despite it being digestible prose. Guess it was just the scope of the book meant it was hard to become invested. The character of the city is enough just about but the most compelling parts were Enrico Dandalo and Napoleon ending things.

fwiw i think one reason why Trump is avoiding negotiating with Dems or really meeting with Dems is that they're hiding his condition.

Really really really bizarre movie.
Clunky and stilted dialogue with incredibly wooden acting. The plot is as boilerplate as it comes with no wrinkles at all. Feels like Seth Rogan has some spare time while filming The Studio and didn't want the expensive set to go to waste. 4/10

Bring Her Back: a very interesting exploration of grief and vulnerability. It wasn't afraid to get quite brutal but never quite fell into exploitation. A lot of interesting symbolism.
Not perfect, it felt a small bit long and a couple of plot points were contrived but 8.5/10

In all these clips, Rubio is so concerned about what he might say
Reporter: Did you get an MRI?
Trump: I did. I got an MRI. It was perfect. Yeah… nobody has given you reports like I have given you. The doctors said some of the best reports they have ever seen.

Very much looking forward to this. He's clearly getting a bit more budget with that lead in place. Keeping it small scale and distinctly regional which is a good sign but I can't make my mind up on if smoothing out the almost tv movie like low budget stuff from his work would be good or remove charm

There's a lot of truth to the idea that putting everything you'd ever want in your living room is a net negative for society. positive feelings towards leaving the house aren't all slop brained nostalgia.

President Trump posted what appeared to be an A.I.-generated video on social media showing him wearing a crown and flying a jet labeled “King Trump” that dumps brown liquid on protesters. He shared the video on Saturday, the same day that protesters participated in mass “No Kings” demonstrations.
