I thought it was a strange move as well - especially considering the vaccine is starting to roll out in a couple weeks, but honestly this simultaneous on-demand + theater release was inevitable. There's been a need for the entire film industry to make some changes. There's super archaic rules in place between studios, distributors and theaters regarding release windows and theatrical runs. I'm hoping this adds up to a resurgence of revival theaters, similar to what the New Beverly in LA has been doing for quite a while now. But there needs to be a pretty loyal film community to support that kind of thing. Ultimately, I'm just glad I bought a projector last year.

City of Industry - 5.5
The Rite (1969) - 7.5

The End of Violence - 7.5

pans labrynth - 9/10. i havent seen it since it came out and it just destroyed me. so fucking good

The Nest - 8

Vivarium 5.5
Gremlins 7.5

Indo binge:
The Night Comes For Us - Brought the fucking carnage. Sequel starring Julie Estelle in the works. Raid crew keeping that shit on lock.
Headshot - because after TNCFU the first thing you need to see is more Zack Lee
May the Devil Take You - 6.66 Baphomets

Crimson Tide - 8/10

I saw this originally in '95 and only recently found out that Tarantino had done script doctoring. Watching it now, it's VERY obvious where his punch ups are. My biggest gripe is the anti-Moebius Silver Surfer sentiment that is prevalent throughout. My rating is admittedly inflated somewhat by having been in the mood for a submarine movie + I will watch any movie with Gene Hackman.

The Death of Stalin - 9.5/10

It's got buckets of blood for sure, but I don't get why they feel the need to include so many artsy "mopey dudes sitting/ standing around not doing much" scenes in films like The Raid 2 and TNCFU. These films pretend to be Drive when they're really a throwback to retarded 80s action flicks. I can forgive Tom Yum Gong's stupid/ ridiculous shit because it's basically that, it's got no arty farty vibes or dumb drama (watching your parents shot as a kid - gosh, how fucking tragic) like the above films.

Blood and Wine - 6
Mank - 8

Look man when was the last time you read the Moebius/Stan Lee Silver Surfer?
That's all I wanna know. I just wanna know that and there's no other implication. Just like a general year, or even 'high school' or 'the 90s' whatever.

Captain Marvel - 1/10.

Mitch's Gay Suicide 20/10

Athlete A - 9
Tenet - 5

Mank - 7.5
Chef - 8

I've never read it... but I really like Moebius, and it's been on my list of things to pick up for like 8 years. I never hear anyone mention him, so I was just in shock when he turned out to be the reason people were fist fighting in a submarine. I could understand Liefeld being a reason to knock someones teeth down their throat, but Moebius?? Did he fuck up Silver Surfer?


Whiskey Mountain - 6.5/10
Hicksploitation from the William Grefé collection. Can't pretend its a masterpiece, but I dug it.

Gemini Man - 5/10
Such a middle of the road flick. CGI just isn't there yet for de-aging and was just as distracting as it was in The Irishman.

Bill & Ted Face the Music - 7/10

tenet - 4

i mean

The Quarry - 5.5/10
Mud - 6.5/10

Watching(or rewatching) a german new wave film every day because I've not seen an embarrassing number of them.
The Bitter Tears of Petra Von Kant = 8 DAMN!
Nosferatu(79) rewatch - 6.9999 great but I'm gonna avoid herzog with this.
Possession rewatch - 8.385 D A A A MN (Doesn't count but gave me the idea)

Next up: Paris, Texas. Will it be as good as I remember?

Mucho Mucho Amor: The Legend of Walter Mercado - 7
Wander - 4.5
Friday the 13th pt. VII - 6.5

Inside Out in the Open - 9
Black Bear - 8
Honest Thief - 6

tenet - real piece of garbage/10
