I agree. I hated it. Totally not even close to his best stuff. It came off unfinished and rushed, almost like it was one of his podcast episodes.

He's just set a crazy high bar for himself imo. About 50-75% of his podcasts are better than it though.

All his jokes were stale or meant to offend. I don't even think I laughed once.

Darling

Phenomenal cinematography and soundtrack, very ominous and nightmarish. Otherwise it was just a cheap ripoff of Repulsion and not as well thought out.

So I went and saw La La Land because I needed to know what all the hype was about

Spoiler for spoilers:
and it punched me in the heart, but I think that's the reason I enjoyed it. Until the last 10 minutes I was sitting there going "well this is nice, but I'm not sure I understand the reaction".

Also been watching an excess of Captain Americas because of reasons.

Hey - dropping in with some feedback about Mindwalk.

The film has only one user review on RYM, who had this to say about it:

Quote:
I love food for thought conversational films like Before Sunrise and Waking Life, so Mindwalk has been a film I wanted to see for years. Sadly, it does not live up to my expectations or come close to meeting the standard those films set -- then again, this came many years before (and yet many years after the mini-masterpiece My Dinner with Andre). I really like John Heard in The Newsroom so it's neat to see him in an early role here, though he's not much of a presence. The drama that connects the story parts between conversation is contrived and boring. Even worse, the conversations are unnatural, dull, and cyclical. I don't need to be thrilled by what is discussed if I can see the actors are thrilled and get by on that (see: My Dinner with Andre). Nothing here clicks. I like the setting and found something relaxing about the first half of the film before it delved into nonsense. Not worth seeking out -- then again, I found it on YouTube so eh.
I have to agree with this reviewer. The majority of the film is a painfully dull explanation of rudimentary grade-school physics. Yes, yes… mostly empty space… yes, yes… remarkable that rocks feel solid. Yes, we get it - our world is one of molecular interconnectedness and the autonomy of our form vanishes at the subatomic level. I can only presume that the film aimed to pander to a very ignorant audience, but that sort of demographic doesn’t take the time to watch dialog-focused cinema anyway, so perhaps that’s why I’ve never heard of this film before now.

Mindwalk takes two hours to present the comparatively holistic perspective of system theory as an alternative to the mechanical perspective of a traditional Newtonian world view. Surprisingly there is no mention of general relativity, but that dropped ball was sadly picked up by that wretched What the Bleep? movie.

Innerspace score: 1.5 stars. Verdict: Skip it, even for free on YouTube.

Manchester By the Sea (great) and Doom Generation (fun).

Always wanted to see Doom Generation.

I attempted to watch Sing Street last night (and it's supposed to be excellent) but I ended up watching Earth Girls are Easy for the millionth time instead. I have yet to come across a single person that appreciates that beautiful garbage movie.
