The recent adaptation of White Noise. Fucking awful.

Yeah, we bailed halfway through.

My wife and I watched a film that I would now consider the Mendoza Line of movies, Empire of Light.

Nothing moved me, nothing bothered me (except one shitty, hackneyed scene), and I felt nearly nothing from this film...but I didn't feel like turning it off, either. It was kinda fucked up actually.

Bait.

Cornish anti-gentrification drama shot on 16mm hand-cranked camera and featuring the posh lady from Jockstrap.

Was great. Rich people are bastards.

Fine film. His latest, Enys Men, is also worth watching.

I'm not sure if this is the thread for it, but I figure if anyone could be of service it would be a cinephile. I'm searching for a film titled Nicht der Homosexuelle ist pervers, sondern die Situation, in der er lebt (t Is Not the Homosexual Who Is Perverse, But the Society in Which He Lives) directed by Rosa von Praunheim in 1971. I found it streaming on Vimeo with no subtitles and je ne comprends pas l'allemand, like I'd understand French any better

I signed up for MUBI but it ain't there. Blu-Ray on Amazon but it doesn't play on Yankee players and I don't have one anyway. Is my google-fu off? Are bit torrents still a thing? A point in the right direction is all I need. Salut.

Next Exit. Billed as sci-fi but it isn't. Not very good.

Had an afternoon off work and went to see 65, the dinosaur thing created by the A Quiet Place guys and starring Adam Driver. It's got holes aplenty, but I liked a lot of it and Adam Driver is game. The girl who is the second hand in the film is also good, and has a couple of moments in which she is not speaking and has to convey something that are very good. Never need to see it again, but I didn't waste my money.

I would just like to say I can't believe Glass Onion got an Oscar nomination for writing, considering that the writing was absolutely fucking abysmal and the plot machinery was creaking and straining the whole time, before finally exploding in a shit-shower of ridiculousness at its deeply stupid conclusion.

I know the Oscars are bullshit, but this is a film I watched and thought "it's just a shame the writing is so bad and the plot is so stupid and not solid enough for a good murder mystery".

Nope, apparently not, apparently it's actually great writing. Once again I feel alienated by society's values.

This is on Karagarga with English subs. I should be able to help you out with it tomorrow.
