I watched Dream Sequence over the weekend. It’s a weird and wonderful experience. Nic Cage is such a confounding actor to be able to seemingly relish doing the terrible, easy money grab while still being able to deliver such interesting performances in such a worthwhile film.

Don’t remember ever watching a film like What Happened to Monday before, very original and creative. Certain adds it’s place into the whole dystopian sector.
Enjoyed it profusely. Rapace nails it.

I just saved you the trouble. It’s ok… Sort of. First hour and a bit is ok, I was enjoying it, then I felt it seriously goes down hill when McGregor came into it. It just went stupid at that point. I don’t think he had to act that much.
Shame to be honest. I’m also not convinced Gyllenhall was the right person to play Dalton either. He doesn’t look like he’s got the look of someone who has a tipping point and is constantly at war with themself over it.
Watched that last night, based upon your recommendation, and really enjoyed it.
Thanks.

In the Shadow of the Moon
It’s an interesting premise and it starts off promisingly enough with the mysterious deaths that appear random at first until you discover more of the story, but lost interest around the midway point mainly because it involves someone who comes back from the future and doing things repeatedly.
you fucking prick

Michael Fassbender is one of the most underrated actors of all time.

And he should have James McAvoy starring alongside him in every film he makes!
A very good actor, not a very good bloke. Maybe why he doesn’t get the accolades and has been out of the limelight for a little while.
Really liked the latest Wim Wenders Film Perfect Days. It’s about a toilet cleaner in Tokyo, a profession which is criminally under represented in film.
Nice music too.

I’ve always felt actuaries also miss out. Why don’t more films delve into the working life of an actuary? Who would doubt “The Pension calculator” has strong movie franchise potential? Also “Reinsurance Remodelling with Gary” just screams Oscar material.
Embraces his inner Magneto?
So I watched Rebel Moon Part 1 as I saw Part 2 was coming out soon. Actually thought the first 15 minutes were pretty good, and then it just tailspan into something barely watchable.
Anyway, that’s reason one for me hating it.
Reason two is that after watching it I went onto Youtube and the first recommendation was a film critique of Rebel Moon, so I clicked on it. Video starts out ok, with some mentions of the poor script and no character development etc, then about 4 minutes in it hits me with the “this is the problem with WOKE Hollywood” and starts laying the blame on the movie’s “woke” politics - which as far as I can tell is mostly that the main character is a girl and she beats up some men.
Now despite me having no time for that boring argument, we had enough of that when Klopptimist was here, and leaving the video pretty quickly it has gotten into my youtube algorythm that I like that kind of video. Now my recommended page is full of videos about “Woke politics is destroying Hollywood”, “Woke liberals”, random videos of women failing at things and anti-Trans stuff. It also seems no matter how much of it I mark as “Do Not Recommend” there are 40 more videos that it pushes to me.
So yeah, fuck you Rebel Moon for making me watch a dull as dishwater movie and double fuck you for turning my youtube into a dumpster fire.
