The
mule I consider to be good Eastwood lark.
Maybe slightly more than lark.
Maybe a good bit more than lark.
It feels like a very sweet little coda to a great career. I do wish he’d do a few more takes sometimes
but I understand that’s his style. There
were some pretty and curvy ladies in some scenes too which I loved. I’m a bad person and I really hate
myself. Once upon a time in mexico is a
movie I’ve seen multiple times, one of my all time favorites and has a very
specific and special significance to me which I won’t go into here. it is a deeply important film for me. I’m sure I’ll watch dozens more times. It has a really great soundtrack too. Buy the album! And cook Puerco pibil! I made it recently and it turned out good but
I don’t really care that much cause I’m not a foodie. However this trend on these particular
entries will not last.
Cruising
I watched while drinking some really awful sangria thing and then I think I
watched the gus van sant psycho remake later on when I was drunk. Cruising I loved though and recently acquired
the special edition blu ray. It really
feels like an ominous grim thing now and something which could never be made
today. Love the germs soundtrack too. Do I qualify?
Psycho
(remake). Well looks like I was
right. I grappled with this one for
years but now I see it as a bold experiment very much ahead of it’s time. American Psycho I’ve watched multiple times
as I think it is quite hilarious. I
think it is a great book, a true classic, but only a good movie. The Ritual was a solid horror movie with some
effective creepy moments and a monster I dug.
I would recommend it to any horror fans.
The House That Jack Built (theatrical cut) did it’s job well and pretty
much what I expected from Von Trier.
Matt gave a GREAT performance and he was scarier than Bale’s Bateman if
I have to compare the two. There is also
one very creepy and grotesque image in a fridge that remains etched in my
brain. I really liked this one.
Death
Proof is a movie I just adore and I’ve watched it many a time. it always makes me hungry for nachos. I’m a big Kurt fan. I think this is an underrated gem and I would
like a 457 hour cut! Sideways was a
great movie and one I shall return to. The
Last Wave was an odd one. there was some
haunting apocalyptic imagery. And then I
thought of a later period episode of millennium. I always enjoy things bathing in
paranoia. In Between was a great
film. Honest Stories about women are
very appealing. I need to rewatch this
again soon. They’re not much alike but I
have this kind of linked up with Princesas (which makes me cry) in my stupid
mind.
Nico,
1988 is exactly the type of biopic I like.
Great artist too. I, Tonya of
course I’d seen before. I love it as an
examination of the slipperiness of the truth, some good comedy too.
Blown
Away is just 90’s action crap, really bad, the U2 stuff was funny. Mowgli I enjoyed. It was an enjoyable version of this
tale. Don’t imagine why I would ever
revisit it. Feel kinda bad for Serkis
that his passion project was beaten by the Disney thing. Children of Men is a great looking
movie. Hisss I actually loved and wish
she’d been given the chance to showcase her true vision. Breaking Up was an enjoyable riff on a familiar
thing but I’m partial to these types of movies and the actors. Don’t think it’s really a hidden gem but it
was a good watch. Glass was by far the
best of the trilogy.
I would rank HBO’s miniseries The Outsider as among the very
best of Stephen King adaptations. Man,
La Infernal looked lovely in that recent interview with the Caribbean. A deadly obsession is taking hold. My right forearm is growing tight and
numb. I recently started reading a
gritty sweaty western novel and I liked the first fifty pages so much I
immediately ordered another book by the same author! That’s bold
of me! I’m getting into George Michael’s
music these days. I’m also finding that
avante garde jazz is the only music which can match my current headspace. Or is it?
The more I learn the less I want to know. Soon, I’m going to buy a lot of 90’s comic
books online. I think my focus will be
more horror gothic stuff or something: Hellblazer, The Demon, Ghost Rider, The
Question and Vengeance of Vampirella.
These will be my focuses. I need
to look at lots. Questions are always
scarier than answers. I think. Need to read about aardvarks too. And swamps.
I want to get the separate issues of From Hell. Man, I love From Hell. Sand.
Too long without sand. Milica keeps utterly annihilating my best resolve.
I’m listening to the new Pearl Jam album. Earlier I was listening to the new Nine Inch
Nail albums. These really took me
back. Yet there is still vitality
here. I’m outlining a new project. Sometime this miserable fucking month. I purchased several pairs of pantyhose
recently. I need a sponsor. Oh encasement. Reverse. I was watching the newest Sion Sono movie
last night. Apropos of nothing (or is
it?) I need to join a suicide club.
Outer Dark did build to an eerie apocalyptic finale. But I must say I think it’s a bit
hypocritical of ol McCarthy to criticize some of the others for…something…
magical realism or something. I don’t
know what I’m talking about anymore.
Oh there was just a glance, a sacred second, a wave. It was everything. Camel.
Need to last as long as possible.
Remember descending, powdered blue.
I may again know the jackal who is not the jackal. Tropical hot dog night had me this week. And zorn.
Only certain things match my headspace anymore. I am such a loser. These days I’ve mostly been subsisting on
Candy Bloom videos. No, that’s not quite
the right word. Because it is
joyous. I’m so very thankful for
her. The other who obliterates my resolve. I am deeply madly truly in
love. I’ll see you at 18 o clock later
on. Oh please let it be so!
