I watched Poor Things a few weeks ago, it was wonderfully mad and quite a show. It gave me David Lynch vibes, and the acting performances are incredible. Kudos to huge, established actors who take part in experimental films and go out on a limb.

I'm adding 2001: A Space Odyssey to my purchase list for sure, I'll be doing a round of shopping some time this summer or in early fall. 

If you do digital, there's a nice bundle that includes 2001, The Shining, and Full Metal Jacket.

Speaking of which, here's Donald Duck as Sgt. Hartman.

Saw two revenge flicks named Ballerina over the weekend; a Korean one that recently hit Netflix and the American one that just hit theaters. No relation to each other, but they're both decent. The Korean one is a bit more artsy and lighter on the action. That action feels less practiced with lots of quick cuts obscuring things at times, but the film's excellent cinematography and sense of style make up for it. The American one is very much in the mold of the Wick films it's a part of. Flimsy in plot and lacking in substance, but the action was certainly better produced and creative at times. I liked that Ana's character has a different style than Keanu's; they fully acknowledge she's not as strong and so has to be more resourceful and clever. A box of grenades makes for an interesting sequence and I can certainly say I've never seen a pair of ice skates used like nunchucks or a (nicely shot) flame thrower duel before. That flame thrower might actually be a nod to the Korean film, come to think of it (which also has one). Wouldn't be the first time the franchise has referenced Korean cinema. 

Monty Python's Flying Circus. Don't ask me to make sense of it, please.

Watching The Beverly Hillbillies, wondering how the Drysdales aren't divorced by now.

KPop Demon Hunters: This one kinda came out of nowhere but just became one of my favorite movies of the year. Catchy music, cool action and visuals, it's basically the closest we'll get to a K/DA feature. The plot is lean and funny but could have benefitted from a bit more time developing each character. The animation is on point with nice choreography and wonderfully cartoony expressions. Several original songs were made for the film and none of them miss (gonna have to check out Twice now). This deserved way more marketing and maybe even a theatrical release. The whole thing is just so much fun and now I want a whole franchise! 

Watched Department Q, and I was positively surprised. The scottish can make stuff.

People complain about it being slow, but I like a slower pace to give the character room to grow and the story time to breathe. Especially with more complicated mytsrey, crime or other drama it gives the viewer more time to ingest and process all the information. I don't get why everything needs to be fast paced like a simple action comedy.

The episode of SWAT with the Somalian war criminal. Wish they let Hondo kill the motherfucker, would have saved some oxygen for those who need it.
