There is only one God ☕

KKK

maybe 👍

I mean, I’m nothing right now, but if God willing, I'll be someone. Honestly, if this movie is any indication of his sense of humor, then he's totally my kind of guy.

Look, we all know Quentin Tarantino knows how to make a hit,
but has anyone actually dug through Smith's old stuff? It seems like he mostly sticks to comedies.
Is any of it actually worth a watch?

To me, the whole thing felt super half-baked. It’s like they spent the movie building up these caricatures just to intentionally tear them down in the final act. Look, the premise is actually pretty solid—all those cultural and ideological wars wrapped up in hypocrisy and pure idiocy—but the pacing is all over the place. Everything feels rushed, so the structure gets totally incoherent while trying to juggle sexual culture, religion, and all that modern American political nonsense. I mean, yeah, Parks, Leo, and Goodman basically carry the entire thing on their backs.
Then again, maybe I'm just stuck in my ways, still hung up on those older Smith films, which probably explains why I'm so let down.

The movie definitely has a beginning, middle, and end—you've got the setup, the sequence where things start falling apart, the climax, and the resolution—and the whole thing plays out in real time. Personally, I live for movies like that.

Throughout that stretch, it touches on all those "wars" you mentioned in your post, maybe even more effectively than those louder, more low-key movies tackling the same stuff.

Plus, there's irony and sarcasm woven through the whole thing in this really cool, modern way. Honestly, I have no idea where you're getting that vibe about it breaking down its own characters in the last quarter.🤷

For me, it’s straight-up horror, brutality, and shock value, and it hits you with that right from the jump.

Patrick Martin wrote a quick reviewof those deep dives.
honestly one of the better ones I've seen lately ☕

a heap 😂

for years now ☕

but watching those tribes last night,
the Republican Party is already waving flags to the sound of some country band,
that rotten bourgeoisie is sipping champagne while listening to classic pop hits,
Kujundžić finally realized he was just extra baggage, nothing more than filler for the Republican Party machine.

The only ones left looking broken and uncertain are Vilibov's cronies.

It's like they already know the guild is going to have to foot the bill, and for years to come...

just what you need to sweat out a fever☕

Someone left a glowing review, so I decided to give it a watch.
Honestly? It’s easily the best film Ayer has ever made. Bale is absolutely killing it—just top-tier stuff—and it is about damn time Longoria actually got a decent role for once.

From here on out, it's always 👍
for Bale and Ayer.

Steven Godrich.

Merry Christmas to everyone out there, especially all my fellow Real Madrid fans!

honestly, rap is just some side dish at best

What do you mean?

Howard Howe is giving off major Kurt Dussander vibes for me,
both physically and "mentally,"
and even just the acting style.

Plus that whole victim versus tormentor dynamic in some isolated house setting.

I mean, okay, it doesn't have that same obsessive fascination, but they still feel similar to me in a way. ☕

And seriously, can someone please scrub that spoiler image from the first post? 🙂

I’m jumping on the bandwagon here. Honestly? This movie is right up my alley. It’s like some twisted cocktail of Cabin Fever, Apt Pupil, and Martyrs, just... cranked up a notch on the insanity scale. The acting is top-tier across the board, but man, Michael Parks absolutely nails it. Even though the whole thing gets pretty bizarre, it actually holds its own and stays grounded.

By the way, you should check out his podcast

honestly, just stick to listening to .

that's what I call real hip-hop ☕

honestly, just put on .

Ashley Bailey6 said:What kind?

Just ridiculous. Something along the lines of what restlesssurfer97 ☕ would do.

Honestly, I think he pulled off a killer performance in this one, which is such an underrated and totally overlooked
A Prayer for the Dying (1987).
