It’s not about living there. The zone still allows for the rich and powerful to exploit people and profit immensely off of it. The world would be no prettier because your autonomous zone; that area would just be filthier.

You might want to read Neuromancer to find out why that’s a terrible idea. If it’s in a cyberpunk world, it’s almost assuredly a giant red flag the author is waving.

Might want to have cooked the shrooms with the bacon. Otherwise looks very palatable.

Powell is literally a Trump appointee. I see no reason to single out the board members and then conveniently leave out the same fact for Powell. Be better NBC.

The Big Heat (1953) 4/5

Fritz can sure direct a movie. A rarity where I’m glued to the screen the entire time. Glenn Ford is definitely not your typical lead but it’s certainly a powerful performance.

The Young Girls of Rochefort (1967) 4.5/5

Smiled the whole time. I want to live in this incredibly colorful world.

Paris, Texas (1984) 5/5

Finished the last 45 minutes or so after being unable to finish it a couple months back. What a beautiful film. Some truly emotional, very long cuts at the end are quite remarkable. Stanton puts on one hell of a performance.

Blue Collar (1978) 4.5/5

All three of our protagonists really nail it. The whole movie is raw, from the fact that it’s Shrader’s first go at it, to the soundtrack, to the gritty, dangerous work of building cars in the 70s. Prior somehow manages to standout even with Keitel and Kotto putting in strong performances.

Aguirre, The Wrath of God (1972) 4.5/5

I just watched it today and it took over half an hour for my brain to start forming a string of thoughts again. I was utterly captivated. The dub is terrible. Shot-to-shot congruity is nonexistent. The environment is steadily more alien. The hubris and brutality of man is on full display. It’s a boon that’s there’s very little spoken word and even less actual dialogue. I am in utter awe of the sheer audacity of even attempting to tell a story in such a remote location in the 70s. I felt like Kinski was gonna reach through the screen and throttle me at any moment.

These are all normal words…

No it’s not.

DLSS is proprietary. FSR (apart from the latest revision as pointed out) is not.

If it looks like a duck, Quacks like a duck, and hangs out with ducks….

A bunch of movies I’ve never seen. What’s your reasoning on the picks?

I read that as aromatic and got very confused.

It’s not a bad movie by any stretch. Its shortcomings just outweigh what’s great about it is all.

 

Just watched Tokyo Story for the first time. Please go see your parents if you can. Spend some time with them. Talk to them. Take time out of your life and just be there, in the moment, with them.
