Just finished watching Joker: Folie à Deux.
Admittedly it was something different, but it didn’t really grab me like the first one. Being a musical and a promotion video for Lady Gaga did raise my cynicism level somewhat. Not terrible, had its moments, but a missed opportunity.
I suppose the joke’s on me…
Lion king 2 and lion king 1 1/2
My take: Lion King 2 has some rushed parts and other parts are too long. Overall, ok but forgettable addition to the series.
Lion King 1 1/2, starts a little rough for me, but once Timon leaves home the movie takes off and it’s a good time. Recommend a watch if you have the first movie burned into memory.
The Artifice Girl.
Movie from 2023 that seems to have slipped under the radar.
It’s about a man who develops an AI to target online predators played out through 3 short 30 minute acts.
I don’t know where they found the lead child actress but she blew me away. Movie absolutely floored me with how good it was.
Just watched it, it was great. I love this kind of limited setting, dialogue heavy movies. It is very philosophical around AI, and also doesn’t run from technical details (at least at the start).
I watched Minari (2020) which was pretty good.
Also Under Suspicion (2000) and Panic in Year Zero (1962) which were both terrible.
I watched Revealer. It’s a cosmic horror/religious horror movie about a stripper and a protester being stuck in a peep show booth together at the end of the world
