When I watched Andrei Tarkovski's Solaris for a second time, many years later, I still enjoyed it, but also realized that I'm not meant to understand some things.

I watched part 1 of Rebel Moon yesterday. Easily the worst movie I've seen in the last decade.

I have no doubt that Rebel Moon is up to the usual low Netflix standard, but somehow I have a feeling that it's not as bad as Lost Highway.

I haven't seen Lost Highway, but I can assure you that Rebel Moon has absolutely no redeeming features whatsoever. ChatGPT could have written a better script.

If that's true, Lost Highway might actually be better, because at least that film has a funny-looking Mystery Man.

Also, we're lucky that Zack Snyder didn't get to make a Star Wars film, which is what Rebel Moon was originally supposed to be.

A Serious Man. I really enjoyed it.

Watchmen
CYNIC, n. A blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, not as they ought to be. Hence the custom among the Scythians of plucking out a cynic's eyes to improve his vision.

No Exit (2022). I liked it, a small but very good cast, a screenplay that made sense, it didn't rely on jump shocks or gore. Dale Dickey is always so watchable.

Boy Kills World. Maybe some won't be able to stop thinking about Archer, I never thought about Archer. And I dig H Jon Benjamen. They back away from the gimmick at the end to let the story play out so it doesn't get annoying. Strangely the best capture of the graphic novel feel even though it's not based on one.

"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

I reluctantly sat through Rebel Moon - Part 2: The Scargiver. A waste of my time and brain power.

“As above, So below”, a found footage horror film.

Was good in the first half but fell off HARD in the last 20 minutes. 6/10, Blair witch is peak found footage.

Casbah (1948) a musical, Peter Lorre really the best thing about it.
