What is the last film you watched?

Under Paris (2024)

Review contains spoilers:

Basically, a French ecological monster-horror film that could be summed up as Jaws in Paris.
It has pretty good CGI & practical effects - so nothing like most modern shark-movies - is decently paced, and has better acting, directing & production values that most B-movies.
I saw a dubbed version, and I thought it was pretty watchable.

I'm pretty critical of most movies, but I'd still give this a 6/10.

Last night I watched "Eight Eyes". Knew nothing about it other than the title and that it's horror.

Picture an occult Texas Chainsaw Massacre set in Serbia with a sprinkle of psychedelics. Not terrible. There's also a completely naked guy in half of the scenes

Hereditary.

It was a mix of disappointment and too many deaths seemingly for the sake of shock value(in my opinion).
The ending was the most interesting part, everything before it was "meh" at best.

Sounds like a typical Saturday night in Sarajevo.

Rambo vs Predator
It's on YouTube and is a collage / new story made by editing together scenes from both franchises. Fun to watch.

Holy shit! File this under things I didn’t know existed but now I have to watch.

About to start Godzilla King of Monsters in a few minutes. Had to start the monsterverse over again since the littlest ones don’t remember them.

Alien: Romulus


Not good, unless you're already a fan of the Alien franchise. IMO this entry was shit.

Longlegs

Really disappointing with pretty terrible dialogue and wooden acting and overacting.

It has some ‘Occult’ stuff in it but it’s only surface level deep.

I was hoping this would be a good horror/thriller but it’s not.

When I'm working at the computer, I often play old flicks on my smartphone. Today was Hitchcock's "Rope." A quite good piece about two young gents who take the secular LHP. (Briefly.) One could say, as many have, that the movie "trivializes" or "misrepresents" the LHP, especially in its Nietzschean variety. It is rather more difficult to specify just what is misrepresented in the film. Professor Rupert, the Uebermensch poseur, throws in the towel at the end and winds up mouthing Methodist platitudes. So auditing the film can be a useful workout for LHP sympathizers.

Deadpool x Wolverine. A fun romp with some good jokes.

African Kung Fu Nazis

An eye opening documentary exposing what happened after WW2 when Hitler had fled to Ghana.
(I'm not 100% sure but I think some of the scenes were reenactments)

Thunderbolts*

Spoiler

gave me one of the most emotional reactions to an MCU movie yet.

Sentry and Void prompting insight into Liber XC.

The asterisk in the poster suggesting the hexagram.

M3GAN was the most recent and that brought to mind an old short horror film from the 70s called Trilogy of Terror and how the idea of killer doll has changed.

But just before I watched Songbirds and Snakes. Lucy Gray Baird being covered in snakes was evocative of the Eumenides. Especially with how her songs haunted. Giving Thelemic parallels with the fiction.

Bring her back.
Great movie with a couple of scènes that really made me physically uneasy.

Watching Munchies this very minute. An 80's comedy "horror".
Take a look at this channel on YouTube, they have some cool real horror too

The Alchemist Cookbook
I enjoyed the movie quite a bit, it has a decent chunk of occult imagery in it and it's a different kind of horror than I normally watch but I would definitely watch again.

Predestination (2014)

Even though I had the ending sussed out pretty early on, it was still a wild paradoxical ride.

 

[albie]

Return of the Jedi. I'm playing it in slow mode so I can find weird faces pulled by the main cast. Then I photo them for my 'art'.

Idiocracy (2006)

My first rewatch since video release.

Originally taken as Horatian satire set in an absurd hypothetical American decline, it appears more Juvenalian as the absurd has become reality or worse in many ways.

The kindheartedness attributed to the motivations of the people of the idiocracy in the they just don't know better doesn't reflect the intentional cruelty and malevolence of the current reality.

From the moment of the main character's first appearance in the future much that was exaggerated for comedy in the irl past has become the reality in 2026.
For example:
When someone speaks clearly and with a hint of dignity or education it is now considered "talking like a fag" by far larger segment of people except that the idiots just say "woke" to describe the same thing.

When the car gets shot up by law enforcement due to the MC not having a barcode was so much like I.C.E. footage on the news when they shoot and assault their own citizens.

The Secretary of Education being WWE irl actually seems worse than the movie and gave a fresh laugh with a new Juvenalian perspective on a 20 year old scene by making the once absurd fictitious US Cabinet appearing as a more competent choice than the reality. The fictional at least being less sycophantic and admitting their failures.
The movie's Fox News hosts appearing like what is now contemporary Looksmaxxers.

The movies portrayal of the worker protests on the White House wrecking shit was so much like Jan 6 the footage it could've been seamlessly blended.

What was a very good movie has become great as a prophetic commentary on the real downfall of a civilization from greed and corruption.
