I feel like you might enjoy Kings of the Road.
For late HDS, Lucky is very nice. And Repo Man as noted, if you've not seen it.

562Has anyone seen The Substance yet? I feel like the hype, walkouts, etc. are going to lead to disappointment. I hope I'm wrong.
I'd rather be throwing darts.
Re: Movies you have watched thread.
563Yeah, I saw it this weekend. It is nuts. Reminded me a lot of Cronenberg's The Fly and Requiem For A Dream. It is not subtle and not for the squeamish - teeth are pulled, backs are split open, faces smashed, and lots of needles are used, most in extreme close up. It was hard to watch at times. It gets crazy by the end, one scene had me laughing out loud. It is hard to forget, though, and the performances are solid. If you're ok with all of that, I'd recommend it.Krev wrote: Mon Sep 30, 2024 11:10 am Has anyone seen The Substance yet? I feel like the hype, walkouts, etc. are going to lead to disappointment.

"Whatever happened to that album?"
"I broke it, remember? I threw it against the wall and it like, shattered."

565Fair summary. It's an experience. It's not a great film. I'm glad I saw it, and won't ever have need to see it again.zircona1 wrote: Mon Sep 30, 2024 12:03 pm Yeah, I saw it this weekend.

Re: Movies you have watched thread.
566Cool, I love Cronenberg. My favorite is definitely Dead Ringers. I'll check this one out, though I hooked our TV up to a nice two-channel system to avoid theaters.zircona1 wrote: Mon Sep 30, 2024 12:03 pmYeah, I saw it this weekend. It is nuts.

567That sounds much worse than The Fly or RFAD.....A_Man_Who_Tries wrote: Mon Sep 30, 2024 2:25 pmFair summary. It's an experience. It's not a great film.

Re: Movies you have watched thread.
568Nah. Those are two films I'd put in the same category. Maybe being a bit harsh on The Fly.

Re: Movies you have watched thread.
569I liked this film, but the monotonic, hesitant, delivery of the dialogue made it very hard going. A lot of it was just exposition anyway and could have been cut out.
Ignoring that some pretty nice twists and turns, though it could have been much creepier.

570It struck me as Gen Z trying to be David Lynch but landing closer to Donny Darko. It's always nice seeing Connor O'Malley show up in things even if he doesn't really fit the 'vibe' of this movie.pldms wrote: Tue Oct 01, 2024 11:44 amI liked this film, but the monotonic, hesitant, delivery of the dialogue made it very hard going.
