    Just watched Reservoir Dogs. Man, what a trip. Incredible acting and phenomenal camera work for such long, intense scenes.

    After having recently finished the book, I watched American Psycho this week. It’s a fantastic and hilarious film and doesn’t stray too far from the book. Christian Bale is phenomenal in it and the social commentary feels almost as relevant today as it did for the late 80s when it was set.

    After finishing all the Dexter seasons, I tried three episodes of SweetPea. It as not for me. Then tried 3 episodes of Madmen, same issue. Felt as if it wasn’t for me.

    Now watched the first episodes of The day of the Jackal and that seems to be my thing.

    I’ve just started watching ghosts! I got the recommendation here and I’m really enjoying it. I also finished s3 of mythic quest which I bloody love.

    In the last week or so, I have finished all of the currently available episodes of School Spirits, Handmaid’s Tale, and Severance. Gonna have to find some new shows (at least until Handmaid’s Tale starts up in April)

      I loved the first few seasons of HMT! It lost me in season 4 though, it bored me to tears.

        That’s too bad! I’ve really enjoyed the direction the show has gone, but can also understand why a person might not. Season 6 (starting in April) will be the last, and I’m very excited to see how it ends

            Without giving much away…

            Tap for spoiler

            Nune is not “over”, and there are some great story moments for June, Serena, and Fred

    I just finished watching Wicked on the pirate ship. It was a nice musical, not sure how they are going to top the first part of the movie in the second film. But I will be waiting for its release this year ( I think? )

    Right now I am watching bros(https://letterboxd.com/film/bros/) and its a chore to get through.Its half about modern queer culture and half gay romcon

    Right of the bat, its loud and obnoxious and has south park style of “comedy” where it hits you over the head with the joke until you get it.There is a scene around where i am at the moment, where i thought for a sec it was gonna be a little subtle about it until the next shot and that’s when know there isn’t a subtle bone in this film. It also tries to cram in every possible thing said in relation to LGBTQ+ under the sun by which i mean the writers’ twitter feed and has very little if anything to say about any of it. Its also one step way from adding a laugh track,characters react in that uncanny way that characters react in sitcoms react when the main cast say something offensive/outrages or off-putting. The main character feels like a pessimistic/angry Christmas hating atheist plunged out of one of those Christian Christmas movies.

    I have yet to watch it, but I have the drive to eventually get around to watching the new Wallace & Gromit film. I have it available to watch whenever I want on my desktop but have yet to get around to it.

    Otherwise, I did start watching s1 of The New Batman Adventures, despite only being somewhere maybe either towards the end of s1 or very early s2 of BTAS. Not that any of that matters since I probably ain’t missing anything major. Only complaint I have with it is a very minor “I don’t like how Bruce Wayne’s eyes are blue now instead of black”.

        don’t watch it if you don’t like it, it’s a dumb show but I watch it because I love the Poppy character and her awkward screaming, lol

        I would say s03 and s04 are just going off the rails, but there is too much keeping me on-board, like Danny Pudi being a pure delight.

        EDIT: thinking about it more, s02e06, “Backstory!”, actually won a cinematography award, and it was a notably good episode. It’s a standalone episode, so you don’t need context from the rest of the season to watch it.

    Currently rewatching the second season of Daredevil. Wanted to refresh my memory for Born Again. I have to admit that the whole ‘war’ stuff with Stick and everything doesn’t really gets me. I prefer the more grounded stories. A very good series nonetheless.

    I also watched the first part of the new Hellboy movie, and besides the special effects, they really nailed the visual direction.
