mastodon 4.7.3As a #cinephile, I mostly talk about #movies and related topics.
I review movies, both on my personal blog and for @popculturemaniacs@mastodon.social .
I boost most #LetterboxdFriday posts due to the community aspect, regardless of whether I agree with your ratings.
Also a full-time computer programmer, but that's not why I'm here.

@filmfileuk So, so many!
The final scene of Hamnet and Nine Days immediately come to mind.
People (rightfully) talk about the beginning of UP. But almost as devastating for me is when Carl picks up "My Adventure Book" one last time.
I was also crying through the entire final ten minutes of Toy Story 3.
In contrast, 2021 French movie Full Time hit me ten minutes in, when she's standing on the train. Her day had been so crazy stressful, the sudden stillness was unexpectedly overwhelming.

Woah...they're actually doing it! The 50th anniversary re-release of Star Wars is going to be the original theatrical cut, remastered!
Even as someone who's not particularly a Star Wars fan, this is incredibly exciting.

And now for something, completely different.
And utterly delightful! Especially as an American who quite enjoys cornbread.

@filmfileuk@mastodonapp.uk List time! =)
- Spiral (1998) - The forgotten original sequel to Ringu.
- Enys Men - It made a splash upon release, but I've heard nothing about it since
- Antiviral - Brandon Cronenberg's debut feature
- Possessor - Even his more popular follow up isn't talked about as much as it should be!
- Deerskin - Quentin Dupieux's best movie, IMHO
- The Wolf House, Willy's Wonderland, and Color Out of Space - None are exactly obscure, but neither are they as widely seen as they deserve.
My review of the new heist-thriller from David Mackenzie, who also directed last year's Relay, is up!

@filmfileuk - "Tamala 2010: A Punk Cat in Space" is Blade Runner crossed with The Crying of Lot 49, but also anime and CGI and...just...a whole ass vibe
-
"The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra" is a hilarious satire of 50s scifi
-
"They Cloned Tyrone" is a fun flick that was overshadowed by releasing the same weekend as Barbie and Oppenheimer
-
"Tribulation 99: Alien Anomalies Under America" is a collage film "documentary" of alien conquest of the US gov that's actually about colonialism more broadly

@filmfileuk Along with The Odyssey, I'm super pumped for Disclosure Day.
There are a ton of smaller movies I'm looking forward to, as well. The biggest of those are I Love Boosters, Backrooms, Evil Dead Burn, and Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma (which is the new Jane Schoenbrun movie).
Also arguably Ice Cream Man, the new Eli Roth movie. I doubt it will be good, but maybe it'll be fun trash?

@fuckfetish@fuckaas.space It's like when I finally got around to watching Casablanca, and learned where roughly a quarter of my dad's favorite little sayings came from. XD
The central experiences they talk about here, especially the recognition that the experience of working in the tech industry has radically changed from the buzzing excitement of the 2010s, resonate with me quite strongly.

@filmfileuk And finally:
- "Last and First Men" is a minimalist, slow cinema odyssey, a future documentary passed down from the dying days of the Universe and last days of mankind, and the only film directed by the late Jóhann Jóhannsson.

@filmfileuk Even MORE recently, I sat next to a random dude during Quantumania. I daresay no one has enjoyed a movie more than this man. He got so excited at each new plot point. It was delightful, despite hating the movie itself.

@gintoxicating I currently use DreamHost. Although my renewal is coming up, and the price more than doubled compared to last year. So I may jump somewhere else.

@rustoleumlove Also a series of videos spawned from that post, and made by the director of this movie, Kane Parsons.
