Interesting. A big part of what I appreciate about his work is the way he handles emotional devastation. I think he's very concerned with avoiding cliche, so maybe he cut out something that's fundamental to what you look for in movies.

This was pretty wicked. A mixture of ominous atmosphere, paranoia and humour that goes completely off the rails

The Trial of the Chicago 7 was a good courtroom political drama. Everyone (even Baron Cohen) acted their part well and the story was well developed. It's like part of a trend in movies lately: American directors rewriting the 70s in political and cinematic terms. Blackkklansman is another good example (and good movie). Topher Grace as David Duke was a funny choice.

South Korea makes the best movies on earth, there's just an incredible mastery of filmmaking, style, and storytelling going on over there

Hell yes, quite a lot of my favourite films are South Korean or Japanese.

Speaking of films Promising Young Woman just about killed me, what a performance. I'd die for Carey Mulligan, it's like she sparkles with a kind of sharp intelligence, and her dimples and voice ugh

Damn this is popular. Can't be that Whitney Houston Bodyguard flick. Need to check it out. I see mentions everywhere.
Hope it's not this. I can tell already it's wack. Looks better. Ain't deep but art promo is telling.
