It's still far from his bests, but at least the pace is good, the plot somewhat streamlined and the comedy hits from time to time. A tad better than Asteroid City in my book which was already a slight step up from earlier works. For me the drop in quality comes with Grand Budapest Hotel and I...

There are (at least) two The Dig novels : one is from 2007 and is the basis for the film in this thread, the other is from the mid-90s and is a novelization of the video game. Never read those and never played the game. I seem to remember there was a lot of hype around it back then and that it...

Not to be confused with : The Dig (video game) - Wikipedia

Were you doomscrolling tik-tok at the same time or what was going on there? It's true that there is a slightly confusing element which is people chatting about past events that for a while are not shown in flash-backs, so you have four or five names of people and places you can't immediately put...

Solid show. A lot of somewhat cliché "gritty cop drama" stuff, but it's done well enough for it to not be an issue. After seeing the season, there was a slight sense of familiarity to me, but it's because the same novels this show is based on have been turned into a bunch of danish films and I...

David Mamet has written and also directed some classics, so for that alone it's worth checking out. Also his last film as a director, Red Belt, was a while ago, but pretty good.

There is only one answer : Space Funeral. https://thecatamites.itch.io/space-funeral

Bump! This show got canceled after one 8 episode season. Does it reach some sort of conclusion in these 8 episodes or did it all become de facto unwatchable because it stops in the middle of the story?

I think @Valderen has a good point : It is extremely difficult to write a story which is about a mystery being understood little by little by the protagonists and to have it layered enough for each answer to lead to new questions all the while keeping the readers/viewers engaged AND not giving...

On first viewing, the film left me a little cold, possibly because it's not what I expected of the movie, but I caught it again on TV a couple years after release and got glued to it as it's good scene after good scene after good scene. A great and important movie.

You maybe missed the best one : The Outlaws from 2017. I say maybe because I only saw this one (Crime City in korean) and The Roundup (Crime City 2 in korean) and the first movie was better. No idea about the two sequels though. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7468056/ About Holy Night: it feels...

Layman question as the news I saw were not very clear about what Crowdstrike does exactly: is it fair to put that in the big "digital protection being more damaging than what it is supposed to protect you against" pile?

I understand this is the TV House and people focus on the TV series in this thread, but since the schedule also includes anime movies, I guess it makes sense to address them here also. I checked the other days these two oddities that are Kurayukaba and Kuramerukagari, two 1 hour long films...

Manhunt (2017) was very very bad... I mean the editor going "How the fuck are we supposed to make a film out of this garbage" bad. Silent Night (2023) was not good, but at least watchable. Not very optimistic about this one, but, who knows?

This is pretty good, but don't expect wall to wall action. There is a solid dose of it (mainly split in two long sequences that bookend the film), but the core of the movie is a love letter to a time and place: Kowloon Walled City in the '80s. Depicted as a kind of social utopia where everyone...
