you guys gotta keep dystopian movies in their element and understand that one can only go so far in writing/directing them. The plotlines aren’t gonna be very elaborate.
I just watched two John Cusack movies back to back. Never again. Never again.

Just watched jojo rabbit. Very very good.
Watched ‘Platform’
Beckett , in a twisted Desade reformulation with a romantic air of regressed destructural hallucination ,
A rose is a rose is a rose, fallen petals.
In ‘Sausage Party’ the food is alive, it’s a-liive… perishables versus non-perishables.
Food with feelings… can food have feelings?

Have just watched Rambo, Last Blood. Poor old Rambo has become a very embittered old man, now. Hardly surprising the way he’s been treated, I suppose.
The monster of Piedras Blancas.
A cult classic. Retroactivelly it is fun and a real riot. The sets are charming post WW 2 era , the acting charmingly filled with frozen bits, taking sudden fractured discontuinity for a ride, as if all emotion results from series of afterthoughts.
Some animated entertainment, on a mid-Covid19 May Saturday early-afternoon… I recall seeing this film before, but it was such a long time ago, that it was like I never had, but it’s always the ending that becomes familiar and gives it away that you did…

‘the Boy’
Horror genre.
Critics rated it around a B-, but I felt that it was a designation for popular attraction.
Conceptually, I would rate it A+ and at least one critic rated it likewise.
It just that it is difficult mixing popular faire with conceptual soundness, and still not end up with a failing grade. The fact that it came out with a B, says a lot for a terrific script, with double minuses for muted horror kicks.
Not as good as its prequels 1 and 2, but a good watch none-the-less if you’re a major fan of the JC franchise… that guy’s a right c*nt… talk about taking no prisoners alive.
Wasn’t scary in the slightest, so I won’t be losing any sleep from nightmares, like I did with 1 and 2.
