Dead Ringers is amazing.
I watched High-Rise just now. It's not as weird as the book, but it's still pretty weird. I like it a lot!

I love that the entire movie, I am thinking this is a Cronenberg film about hosed up twin gynecology doctors, and those TOOLS, this is gonna get gnarlier than gnarly any minute now... and then it really never does, there's minimal gore compared to a lot of Cronenberg's stuff. It's just all that tension, the implications and things hinted at, and wondering just what is going on with the twins's connection, their goals, etc. It's a very psychological movie and Jeremy Irons is incredible as the two leads

old man and the sea. the beginning reminded me of the fisherman and the businessman story, then the rest of the story had similarities to moby dick (obsession with a large marine animal).

the signal (2007)
bounced off of this when i watched it four years ago but it really clicked this time, the idea of having one continuous narrative split into three segments, each with a different director sounds gimmicky at first, but the tone and style for each segment are actually thematically appropriate for each character's perspective it focuses on, the first and third segments are tense while the second is morbidly hilarious

last night i watched daredevil (2003) and the incredible hulk (2008). both were better than i was expecting. they weren't particularly hammy or overwrought or anything, they were just competently told stories. daredevil was particularly interesting of the two, and it was cool to see the little things they included like tapping a cane for echolocation and such. more beyond simply folding bills differently. and the part where he tries to grab the club out of the air but his radar sense is hosed up by the explosion was cool too.
tonight i'm going to the theater to watch back to the future and guillermo del toro's frankenstein. i'll be back later tonight with the report

Daredevil is great for three reasons:
- Jennifer Garner
- Michael Clarke Duncan as Kingpin
- Matt sleeps in a sensory deprivation chamber
Also today I watched Danger: Diabolik, an Italian spy/comic book/heist/driving movie from the 60s. It's so much.

i also watched this just now. it was way better than i'd thought. however, the plot of "veneer of civilization" is unscientific: the "state of nature" would not be "man against man" mayhem.

back to the future, as ever, remains an enduring classic. the pacing, the plot, the way it tidies everything up in a fast food kinda way, it's all so good. i coulda swore it said "to be continued" at the end, but it doesn't. frankenstein was less good. frankly, i thought it was a kinda boring retelling of the story. it doesn't really say anything mary shelley's frankenstein with robert deniro.doesn't say, and that was a much better and more interesting film. ah well. next week is predator badlands and i'm much looking forward to that

Yesterday I watched Humane, a dystopian horror movie about voluntary (well, it's complicated) euthanasia in the face of climate disaster. It's real bleak.

i watched the documentary "act normal". it was quite interesting, but the chronology was very confusing - i mean how the film kept jumping back and forth in time.

i saw predator: badlands last night. so here's a minor spoiler that they went out of their way to not show you in the trailer: the predator gets a funny little monkey buddy. if you had told me that, or showed me that in the trailers, i would've been disgusted and written this off. but this is a funny, smart, and fantastic entry in the predator series. it was a lot of fun seeing a story through the eyes of a yuatja, especially a weakling yuatja marked for death. it was a good time at the movies and i recommend it

The Gorge: popcorn muncher action flick with that hot actress with the big eyes who did that chess movie, and some random beefcake dude, and sigorney weaver. There was some shootin' and some kissin' and some splodin', and overall a satisfactory movie
Superman: kinda dumb.
Jim Henson Idea Man: sweet biopic of one of the most incredible people of the last century, who touched so many lives through his art.

i watched vanishing point (1997), starring viggo mortensen. it was actually a pretty good remake of the classic 1971 original. by the way, is anyone else named viggo, or is it just him?

Watched two pictures:
Solvent (2024), a found-footage-ish movie where a documentarian goes to a deserted farm in Austria to find the documents of a dead Nazi and things get... experimental. The reviewers describe it as a cinematic palimpsest, which makes some sense.
One Battle After Another (2025), PTA's second go at Pynchon (Viceland, about the war on drugs in the 80s). He moves the action to present day Texas, and makes it about the immigration fascism crisis. It mostly works.

i watched richie rich. i must have seen this movie more than a dozen times, because we had it on vhs and i saw each of those movies on those tapes at least a dozen times, but i still didn't remember much. it's gotten dated in a lot of ways, but still kind of cute, although heavy-handed on the lessons.

Shrek. My partner had not only never seen it, he hadn't even seen spoilers for it. He took ten minutes trying to decide if Fiona was going to be a werewolf or a wereogre.
Shrek 2 tomorrow probably.
