I can’t watch a movie on Freevee.
Commercials cut in in just completely random places and they’re like 5 minutes long. I watched a half hour of a movie on there and had 3 commercial breaks already.

They really are just totally fucking randomly placed. I was watching something the other day and it literally kept cutting to commercial mid-sentence.
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

I still need to watch Ready Or Not. Is it streaming anywhere?
The Fisher King 4K
The Seventh Seal 4K
Triangle of Sadness
Small Axe: Five Films by Steve McQueen (Mangrove, Lovers Rock, Red White And Blue, Alex Wheatle and Education)
Triangle of Sadness is my main recommendation obv, but Seventh Seal is also incredible and if you haven't gotten that before that's definitely worthwhile too. I've been real interested in seeing the Small Axe films, this might win me over
This is so strange. Imagining a Rainbow Six movie with John Wick choreography. Anyway, Without Remorse was one of the worst movies I saw the year it came out!

Oof. Not a fan of making a Tom Clancy wetworks op look slick. That's gonna be a powerful recruitment tool.
"A new take on the epic fantasy genre... Darkly comic, relatable characters... twisted storyline."
"Readers who prefer tension and romance, Maledictions: The Offering, delivers... As serious YA fiction, I’ll give it five stars out of five. As a novel? Four and a half." - Liz Ellor My new novel: Maledictions: The Offering. Now in Paperback!
Yeah I was way into the Rainbow Six novel as a teen, to the point where I was seriously considering joining the military to try and become a sniper and all that.
Luckily I avoided that particular bad decision, but a well done movie version of that could definitely turn a lot of impressionable heads.

Finished the Great Spider-Man Movie Project, watching Venom 2 and No Way Home.
The former wasn't quite as good as the first, but was still a messy, weird bit of fun. It's just so nice to see a modern superhero flick that has a distinct voice/tone, that's doing its own weird thing. God bless em.
No Way Home mostly worked for me, on balance. The way into the premise was brutally, painfully stupid, but once they got over that turd hurdle and started bringing in folks from other universes, there was a lot of fun to be had. I can't BELIEVE the Garfield/MJ thing worked for me, I was astonished that they got me with that shit.
Very telling that the only time the Holland Spider-Man movies worked for me was "the part when it directly and literally pulled from other, better movies," I think. Absolutely insane that it took them three fucking movies and literal magic spells to get to where a Spider-Man movie usually starts, but fuckin', at least they got there I guess

Yeah, the Garfield/MJ moment was legitimately one of the only times I got a little choked up over a damn MCU movie. It was a good bit, and all that stuff with the three of them worked pretty well, even if it was dependent on your nostalgia (or at least fondness) for other, better Spider-Man franchises.
It’s a shame most of the rest of the movie was… not great.

It is wild to me how much I enjoyed Andrew Garfield in No Way Home, especially when I think his Spider-Man movies are absolute disasters. I think he’s just a good actor!
I still think Homecoming works, even if it’s coming at it from the wrong direction the fundamental message of Spider-Man choosing to stay local and help the little guys who get overlooked by the bigger superheroes is a good one. Also the bad student news segments are great
But really the Venom movies are where it’s at these days, windows into a world where the 2000’s never ended, beautifully weird and idiosyncratic and feel like they were made immediately after Blade 2, I hope they keep making those forever

it's very funny to me that this Spider-man trilogy ends with the start of what everyone wanted in the first place. and also it's criminal that he finally has believably homemade suit and we see it for two seconds
Skinamarink comes to Shudder next month and I really hope more people here watch it. Among the more divisive, difficult (in terms of experimental, not in terms of extreme, content) watches; happy to see it succeeding so far

Don't worry, the military ALWAYS has it's most important recruitment tool: Poverty! As long as someone is poor, or about to go to Jail, the military will have the grist for it's mill.

So the Revival theater in Atlanta was playing The Shining in 40mm so of course
So Mrs TheJokerman and I ended up watching The Predator!
(I've already seen the shining in 40mm so it's not on the bucket list for me)
BUT HOLY FUCK IS PREDATOR FUN IN A THEATER!
My favorite parts were some very excited woman wolfwhistling at all the low crawling and then Mrs. TheJokerman hearing "I ain't got time to bleed" for the first time. Also, great movie because it features two future Governors. Love that bit of Predator trivia.
Random pictures of The Plaza, possibly my favorite place on earth.

A lot of movies are recruitment tools so I don't think one more is a huge dealbreaker, especially since it's probably tied in to the Amazon series with Jordan in both. Top Gun Maverick was just one of the biggest movies of last year. Kind of too late to put the toothpaste back in the tube on that.
Rainbow Six was my favorite book in high school before realizing how jingoistic all of Clancy's books are. I wonder what it would be like to reread them.

This underpins a statistic that I think is very interesting/telling but that not a lot of people know: Native Americans are the most overrepresented ethnic group in the US military. Grim!

I went from not personally knowing any Native Americans to working and living with three once I enlisted, so that definitely pans out.

It's just the kind of movie that's really best enjoyed knowing as little as possible.
The skewering of foodie culture and high end restaurants is spot on though.
I also appreciate the extent to which the movie just absolutely hates rich people.
Something about like a 45 minute chase scene
Sick, on Peacock
Highly recommend it
pretty sure Triangle of Sadness also fits into this, still need to watch it, though
it's funny to me that Knives Out and Ready or Not struck very similar vibes back in 2019
it does. Some really great performances too.
