I spent about 5 hours today marathoning the last few episodes of the 6th season of Mad Men, and I'm in love. I liked the show a lot, but I think the 6th season is my favorite yet. The set design and cinematography are as great as always, but I feel like things are finally turning against Don, and he may actually be learning. Plus Pete gets poo poo on a LOT, which I'm a fan of. Now to avoid spoilers for season 7A.

I'm a terrible procrastinator and CineD enables me. I had plans to play tennis with a friend today but then it rained non-stop all afternoon. Oh god, CineD is my #1 source of procrastination. I can't do schoolwork when I can instantly read about people discussing anything but movies. Speaking of movies, Amour hit me hard. It was so measured and slow, but that made the emotionally draining bits hit really hard. It's such a small movie, but it does a lot with its limited setting, and really delves into Georges' dilemma of his own interests against his wife's. I can't think of anything substantial to say about it, because it knocked me on my rear end.

I'm exhausted with that song, and I've only heard it once or twice. Slice of life: I've got a full-time job in KC/Lee's Summit (I don't know if Kansas City people still consider smaller towns to be part of KC or not, in St. Louis everything in the county's still considered St. Louis), and I'll be moving there in about a month and a half. I know a few KC people are in here, are there any particular places that I should check for apartments? Should I make it a point to stop by SA HQ and bug Lowtax?

FishBulb posted:Lee Summit is a fine, perfectly boring suburb. It's pretty "new" as far as development goes so there's plenty of Applebee's and Targets. It's also home to missouri's largest concentration of hate groups according to the Southern Poverty Law Center so there's that. This sounds boring and like a not-fun place to be, so I'll probably look elsewhere in KC and just commute further.

I saw Sorcerer tonight at the KC Alamo Drafthouse, and holy poo poo. Beautiful, contemplative, horrifying, and brutal. There are so many good things about the movie, I can't really pick any specific highlights. I will say that the Tangerine Dream soundtrack worked a lot better than I thought. Also shout out to the dude who said he got a tweet reply from Friedkin before the movie, then after the movie asked a part of the audience to stay seated so he could tweet a pic of them to Friedkin. Bonus slice of life: during dinner afterwards, my mom said during the tree scene where Dominguez is bashing his fists on the ground, the guy's dick was hanging out.

Maxwell Lord posted:I was at that screening too! So amazing. I'd been waiting for it basically ever since I heard it was being restored. I've wanted to see it ever since I learned, years ago, it was a remake of Wages Of Fear. It did not disappoint. One thing I like is the jungle felt like more of an active threat, like it was out to get them from the onset, than the Andes Mountains in Wages Of Fear. Plus that bridge scene was insane.

Uncle Boogeyman posted:You know, when I was first getting into hardcore in the late '90s-early 2000s, Earth Crisis were already pretty firmly ensconced as the joke band or punching bag of the hardcore scene. And to be sure, their later material is terrible, and I just sort of bought into that party line without actually listening to them very much at all. But within the past year I've gone back and realized that, y'know what? Destroy the Machines is actually a pretty great album. It might just be me, but Firestorm is also dope https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c1aXBmnKSk

Slice of life: driving a cargo van with an apartment's worth of stuff 4 hours is not as much like Sorcerer or Wages Of Fear as I imagined. Thankfully, I'm pretty much settled, and just looking at upcoming movies and concerts are already denting my wallet. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is on Sunday, Stop Making Sense is showing only 5 minutes from my house in two weeks, there's a Deafheaven/Pallbearer show in a few weeks... I'm going to enjoy living in a city with some culture.

The only time I've ever felt panicky during a movie was The Road. I was watching it while in the midst of one of those existential phases, and the dad telling the kid to kill himself if he ever got caught was a bit too much for me to handle. Kinda surprising that's the only one, seeing how I sometimes get panic attacks for no apparent reason.

FishBulb posted:They spend too much time in the town and the main character is a goofus French dingus. The entire first hour sets up the hopelessness and nihilism the truck-driving parts of the movie explores, and works as its own mini-movie anyway. I couldn't pick between Wages of Fear and Sorcerer, both are great. I got back from seeing Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade on the big screen, and I forgot how fun that movie is. I particularly love how the action scenes keep upping the tension while there's a lot of comedy moments in the action scenes as well. Sean Connery and Harrison Ford also have amazing chemistry. Something I never would have noticed if I weren't in a theater; young Indy cuts his chin while taming a lion in the beginning, and you can clearly see a scar on older Indy in the same spot. Goddamn, such a great movie.
