-GD-X★ 7,760 Posted April 23, 2023 Author Share Posted April 23, 2023 Dead Ringers on Amazon Prime is pretty good. Rachel Weistz is fantastic. Also, she’s looking petty hot at 53. edit: fans of the 80’s Cronenberg flick will dig it. Weistz easily matches, maybe exceeds, Irons. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I liked it at first but I fell off at the 4th ep. I just got annoyed by how unfocused the story became, its jumping around so much and shoving in all these new characters and I was just finding it hard to remain interested in anything that was going on.

I can see that. I’m on ep 3 and there are too many moving pieces. Still, I’m awe of Weistz. The 1988 movie is definitely way more focused (I highly recommend it if you haven’t seen it). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

True. The first ep definitely left me wanting more (in a good way). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

-GD-X★ 7,760 Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 Season 4 of Barry has been great, so far. Last night’s ep was another banger. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,760 Posted April 24, 2023 Author Share Posted April 24, 2023 I’m watching the Dead Ringers finale. It’s wild how a vibrating phone, going off repeatedly, can create such tension and a sense of looming dread. While the series reminds me why the concept is better as a movie, I can’t deny the show’s many strengths (but there are many flaws too). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ike★ 2,919 Posted April 24, 2023 Share Posted April 24, 2023 I watched Aronofsky’s Mother! last night. I actually enjoyed the first third of the movie but by the end I was rolling my eyes. I hate it as a film but at the same time, it has stuck with me since I finished and I want to watch it again. It was still beautifully shot with his excellent camera work. I don’t know how I feel about it still. Just a weird cinematic experience all together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hmmm I liked the ending, but I know if I would call it a high note. It’s definitely dark and atmospheric. Trippy editing and sound design throughout. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
