watched "The Foreigner" tonight on Netflix, keeping in theme with St Patricks Day kinda sucked, I guess it was a serviceable revenge movie and a good performance by Jackie Chan, but they really go all in on 1980s Irish politics in 2017

Are there any good historical movies streaming right now? I'm not really feeling like seeing contemporary life from a week ago right now.

I had trouble getting through Ratatouille three nights ago of all things, because of all the scenes in a crowded restaurant. We tried watching Curb Your Enthusiasm last night and even 2000s era New York was giving me anxiety and I was too distracted with how no one's having an awkward run-in at a movie theater for a while. Horror movies are right out and those are my favorites. Pretty much I can stomach cartoons and other completely unrealistic things right now, Twitch streams, and almost nothing else. It did give us an excuse to watch Wreck It Ralph on Disney Plus, and that took my mind off things for about two hours!

Eventually you'll get to the chairlift scene.

The good ones will give you this completely immersive world from a different place and time(that really never existed, but hey, for escapism it works) and they never talk about germs or viruses.

Not exactly the most niche recommendation, but Kanopy has a lot of older historical movies set in Japan that absolutely kick rear end. Kurosawa movies of course if you haven't seen them are extremely good, they're gorgeous, funny and entertaining as hell. Masaki Kobayashi's Harakiri is completely amazing start to finish, and the soundtrack slaps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2zIlGY3F3k fenix down posted:Looked up a few of my favorites on Justwatch: Good stuff, thanks!

I'm on the last episode of McMillions, and I cannot envision how it could have been done in 90 minutes and encapsulated the multiple layers the series does and been this captivating. You start out thinking it's just a run of the mill heist, with the twist that it's an inside job on a contest you personally remember and played a hundred years ago. A few episodes in, you've realized that the police are dead eyed psychopaths chasing down the victims of a multi-level marketing and entrapment scam. The only part I probably wouldn't miss was the episode dedicated to humanizing the Colombo crime family, because, come on. This is my last McMillions post, I swear

It’s so drat good and it sucks that ILD is just one of those Coens that it seems like no one really saw. It's really good but I can totally see why it's one of their more low key films. It doesn't have the star power (at least at the time) of a lot of their bigger films, It doesn't have the immediate draw of a lot of their darker stuff, and it doesn't have much of the weirdness factor. I can't think of anything they've done that is really comparable. Tbh it's the only Coen movie other than Hail Caesar that I skipped out on watching in theaters in my adult life, just because even if I knew it would be good a movie about folk singer just wasn't that appealing. No regrets on waiting on HC though.

I don’t think I’ve ever related to a movie more in my entire life. So yeah, I totally get watching that movie as a pick-me-up. It’s comforting to watch a protagonist gently caress up repeatedly and get completely poo poo on and still not give up.

It's always comforting for me to put it on and experience the perfect distillation of the decay and alienation of our existence, all wrapped up in a two hour sensory feast.
