  • Years and years ago, I turned to foreign and independent films. Maybe 1 or 2 Hollywood films a year. I won't watch Part N, or any sequel. Complete gd lack of imagination.

    REVIEW / The Room Next Door (2024) by Pedro Almodóvar

  • Screenwriting

    Jump

  • There's no way I can pick "a" favorite. It also would depend on the mood I'm in when you ask, LOL. I use tmdb to keep track of my watches, and really, there are so, so many with a 10/10 score. "Adaptation" is in that 10 list. I'll give you a few that are amazing movies, but probably not popular in the US and you haven't seen unless you're a cinephile. random selection:

    Tigers Are Not Afraid (2017) Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring (2003) Black Orpheus (1959), Greek myth told thru Brazilian cultural lens Riders of Justice (2021) Searching for Sugarman (2012), music documentary Haider (2014), Indian director's Shakespeare retelling

  • I tend to really like movies that have something to say on a deeper level(s), that remind us how complex it is to be human. Sometimes I have to think about a movie for a few days before I even realize why it worked so well. Sometimes I see a movie and it's fascinating but I'm not sure why. Then I find the "lens" to interpret the film and it opens the whole film for me.

    As for which aspect of the film, I'm usually looking at acting. It can make or break the experience for me.

  • This is not okay

    Jump

  • Don't get me wrong, I'm not defending liars and a$$holes. But it's not useful to misquote without sources.

  • The phrase "One of ours, all of yours" was displayed on a podium during a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) briefing attended by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. While images of the podium with the slogan circulated widely on social media, Kristi Noem herself did not say the phrase aloud 12.

    The slogan has been linked to Nazi Germany, specifically as a reprisal for the killing of an SS officer 45. Musician Tom Morello alleged that the "Trump admin quoted (verbatim) the slogan" 25. However, other reports indicate that Noem defended ICE agents, stating they acted in self-defense and that "criminal, illegal aliens" would be arrested while American citizens would be protected 1. Some sources suggest that the phrase has not been found in historical texts related to 20th-century history 3.
