Just saw 1917 in IMAX. I was thinking it would be OK, I've seen a lot of WWI movies, and enjoyed the Peter Jackson film that used actual footage from that time period.

1917 is brilliant filmmaking, a real cinematic masterpiece. It should easily win the Oscars for best picture, best director, and cinematography. However, I don't think it will get a sniff of a nomination for film editing.

The Lighthouse: a slow-burning 2-hour mindfuck with just 2 characters. But man they both turned in masterful performances. The cinematography, aspect ratio, single location...were extremely well done. You either like Eggars or you don’t, but what I like about this film as well as The Witch is the distant past setting and the tremendous focus on isolation as a tool for despair and dread. I really liked it, but it’s not a film you “enjoy”.

Joker.

Give Phoenix all the awards now. No point in even having a running, best of luck to next year's contestants.

Saw the Joker finally. Ok so it was a tour de force by Phoenix obviously, and I thought the complementary casting was also very good. But…can someone in the know, about DC or the movie or whatever, tell me what the fuck I just watched? I am sure this is just me being dense, but…
OK, movies were the main character has delusions and are told from exclusively his POV are frustrating, but I thought I had a pretty good handle on what was real and what wasn’t until the final sequence, where he was at Arkham. This is because a) there was no mention or sequence of him being caught, b) he had no visible facial or other injuries from the “crash”, and c) he was talking to an AA female psych woman (a different one, yes), similar to like he was at the beginning. Then, he utters the “you wouldn’t get it” line, and leaves the room with blood on his shoes, despite being handcuffed to the table. So….my question is…WTF? Was this Inception-level shit? Did he make the entire movie up in his head and he’s been at Arkham the entire time? Or was this at some time in the future? But if so, why would she know nothing about him (‘tell me about your life”). Was the guy who killed Big Daddy Wayne really inspired by the Joker, or did he imagine that too? Did he really kill, or even appear on, the guy’s talk show? Did he actually kill the clown guy in his apartment? Did he kill the psychiatrist at the end? Did anything actually happen? Was there even a movie? I mean, WTF?

We've watched the 3 John Wick movies over the last month or so. The first one was fun enough to warrant watching the 2nd. The 2nd was awful and the 3rd one worse. I don't know who would win the aware for worst actor in these. Flaming bag of poop.

Saw Just Mercy, decent movie, about what you'd expect after seeing the trailers.

Based on a true story, and the sheriff involved just retired in 2019. Fuckin' Alabama.

The third one was not that good as it was nonstop BS action. There was some really bad choreography in fight scenes. WTF was the desert crap about. Why there?

We saw an advance screening of Onward last weekend, and it was as awesome as I had hoped. Just a really fun movie, excellent voice cast and characters, with a strong and emotional story about Pratt and Holland as brothers. Plus tons of fun little easter eggs for fantasy nerds.

C’mon man, I know you all have been watching some movies this month!

...

Last one for us was Spies in Disguise. I knew it would be good, but I liked it way more than I expected. I thought the same thing after we saw Guy Ritchie’s Aladdin: Will Smith is just so charming.

Also watched both of the new Jumanji movies — great casting alone can make an entire series.
