    In my late teenage years I stayed up one night watching late night satellite TV, which is how I encountered the first half hour or so of Erotic Adventures of the Three Musketeers, an early-90's high production porn with Nina Hartley.

    I'm not going to say it's a masterful retelling of the tale, but as one of my earliest encounters with produced porn flicks, it's one that has stuck with me over the years and I'm going to say sits in my memory somewhere behind the Chris O'Donnell one but slightly ahead of the Micheal York one when someone starts talking about a Three Musketeers film without specifying a particular version.

    Which occasionally leads to some entertaining but amusing confused conversations.

    Kickboxer 3 ends with the titular Kickboxer and his trainer, Xian, gunning down gangsters in Brazil and trading quips.

    EDIT:. Holy shit that's not the ending. The bad guy is now training the Kickboxer to fight his bad guy Kickboxer...I have no idea what's going on.

    This might be an answer that belongs in a spoiler tag, but in what way? I'm kind of interested in Invisible Man after seeing people's reactions to it, but Unsane is pretty rubbish (but I appreciate the idea/concept, even if the execution is a shit show).

    Invisible Man mild spoilers
    I think they both deal with the impact of abusive relationships, stalking, harassment, psychological abuse like gaslighting etc. Both movies show the damage that does to the protagonists relationships with other people, driving people away and making them doubt the sanity of the protagonist for example.

    It doesn't go super deep into those themes and its still fundamentally a horror movie but it gave it some depth

    As rapist Roman Polanski was announced as winning best director at the Cesar awards, numerous members of the audience left, including Adele Heanel (star of Portrait of a Lady on Fire) who can be heard saying "La honte!" (French for "Shameful!")




    Polanski didn't attend the ceremony out of reported fear of "public lynching"

    The board of directors at the Césars already stepped down a couple weeks ago, though it's more because of the members of The Academy of Cinema Arts and Techniques have been frustrated for a long time and called for their resignation: apparently the institution is really undemocratic. I remember reading that they have this dinner for emerging talent, and they didn't invite Claire Denis or Virginie Despentes... which, alright. But then the young invitees were allowed to invite a sponsor or established figure, and some of them personally chose Denis and Despentes and they still weren't invited.

    Also Polanski's won 5 César Awards for directing: 5 for 5, the only director with a perfect record and the next most winning director in the history of the Césars has 3. Shit's weird.

    I don't need specific spoilers, but is there actually any indication that this movie is in a shared universe?
