Hello everyone!

There’s a bundle « corporate thriller » on Criterion. I’ve watch antitrust which didn’t scratch my hitch but is a cool view of the Silicon Valley 2000s culture

So Criterion have a channel where they put people in their DVD library and ask them what they would watch, the last one was with John Hamm and he propose this movie

Oscar Best animation picture. Made in Montreal

Found on a bundle on Criterion Channel called « Stunts! » for this month.

If you like Les Demoiselles de Rochefort [the young girls of Rochefort] by Jacques Demy. This one by Chantal Akerman is a must watch.

With the explosion of « Pro man » podcaster and Masculinity poser I find it important to revisit some movies that talk about hyper masculinity

*Rules of Living*, a Japan–Canada feature film that won Best Feature Comedy at its world premiere and more. It’s a bilingual character-driven dramedy set in Japan about rediscovering yourself in midlife and finding connection when you least expect it.

Synopsis:

If you like James Bond … and acid

“People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people.”

“Mort Rainey, a writer just emerging from a painful divorce with his ex-wife, is stalked at his remote lake house by a psychotic stranger and would-be scribe who claims Rainey swiped his best story idea. But as Rainey endeavors to prove his innocence, he begins to question his own sanity.”

This hilarious animated short is based on the century-old folk song of the same name. Old Mr. Johnson makes increasingly manic attempts to rid himself of a little yellow cat that just won’t stay away…

Just heard the death of Watkins this last Thursday. God Bless and rest in peace

Saw this this week end, a little old but a good watch

I feel like this is low hanging fruit with the Lemmy community. I think this movie is so much fun. Such a nostalgia trip.

Went into this cold, just knowing I usually like what TLA Releasing puts out. Didn’t disappoint at all – great acting and writing, short lil WTF film where dialog isn’t overused and visual storytelling really leads, all while on a low budget (there’s even a joke in the film about it lol). It’s definitely An Experience if anything.

If you are not familiar with the works of Peter Watkins, you really should be. Almost all of them are fake documentaries, but by no means funny ones. His film about nuclear war and it’s aftermath, The War Game, is so incredibly grim and depressing that the BBC, who commissioned it, refused to show it for decades.

Brief (not very good) synopsis:

Saw this last night, and it was fantastic. Over the top combination of seriousness and humor, great practical effects, puppetry, and costumes.
