It’s all good, part of the fun is sh*tting on it afterwards. I mean compared to ‘Elizabethtown’, Dog Park was f**king oscar material.

Yup, decided to return for awhile, because winterblues makes me watch films…. Yeah, I like that there are younger people, but naturally us boomers don’t care much for anything made after 2005 or so 😉 but seriously, films and series, kinda develop a whole new meaning when you enter your midlife, you either want quality or genuine novelty. Not that I mind, when I was much younger I used to hang out with older folks giving me music recommendations, this was well over 20 years ago. Learned a lot, I was still listening to Iron Maiden when I entered this old geezer forum full of people who liked progrock, indierock and what now gets called postpunk, in one year that expanded my musical knowledge. It was great, I still have all this knowledge on obscure bands that I use to troll younger people and boomers alike….

So yeah, youngersters are definitively going to go through this site, watch some old flick and go hmmm this isn’t bad, then they are going to forget they watched it, only to return to it when they are older. Such is life. I personally use this site primarily to find a film with a White cast, I actually found a lot of great films using this site alone, so naturally I will be returning in the future, just for that and hopefully for the bantz.

Its my absolute favorite movie ever.

In the 1973 theatrical production (https://zeitgeistreviews.com/movies/selo-stepanchikovo-i-yego-obitateli), the director gave free rein to his imagination: Foma appears as a sage, sternly denouncing egoism and ignorance, and even the invited nephew Seryozha succumbs to his charms.

+ it’s also dark and depressing throughout, and perhaps has a cynical downer ending. It has both anti-traditional and anti-science themes simultaneously? For what that’s worth

The important thing is that you know what you’re getting into. It’s a horror movie in 2024, with all that implies.

I decided to play Terminator 3: Dark Fate. Of course, I chose the maximum difficulty – Realism. The tutorial missions went relatively well, though I had to sweat a bit to ensure at least some of my squad survived and progressed to the next missions. The game works like this: you start with certain squads, and some of them carry over to the next mission. They gain experience and unlock new skills. In different missions, you can recruit new squads. There are also city outposts where you can purchase personnel and equipment. You can also loot vehicles during missions: cars, Humvees, and even tanks.

However, there’s a catch: the larger your squad, the more resources it consumes, and resources are limited. This presents a dilemma: what to sell and what to keep and develop. Resources are always scarce, so you need to invest in the most effective units and upgrade them. Vehicles and tanks can also be upgraded with armor, weapons, and engine modifications.

The game feels like a Mad Max-style survival experience, with a convoy of vehicles racing through the desert: small maneuverable cars, APCs, makeshift artillery on trailers, and trucks carrying supplies and fuel. There can also be separate transport trucks. The entire team is self-sufficient; if you run out of fuel and a tank stops, it’s essentially lost and won’t make it to the next mission.

There’s a wide variety of units: assault troops, snipers, special forces, etc. You need to assemble your team to have several self-sufficient groups that can hold various points on the map, as missions often require controlling multiple locations.

When I started the main missions after the tutorial, I really struggled. Maps that were supposed to take an hour ended up taking 10 hours to complete. Even then, victory wasn’t guaranteed. I reached the cartel city, where enemy Humvees with artillery prevented me from approaching. I managed to defeat them with tremendous effort, but then decided to go back two missions to acquire my own artillery. I replayed those missions, bought artillery, and dismantled the Humvees.

Eventually, I completed the game. Even towards the end, I was still learning new things. Such hardcore games are interesting because you can’t beat them on the first try. I think this game is underappreciated by the gaming community due to its specific gameplay – strategy games aren’t very popular nowadays because they require thinking, which many modern gamers find unappealing. Nevertheless, the game turned out to be very successful and provides a unique gaming experience not found in other titles.

This movie is paced terribly and Fraser’s performance is board-stiff; Silverstone is grating and b**chy. Yet somehow, once it gets going, the story resonates deeply with the modern-fatigued viewer. It’s pretty telling that Christopher Walken first ventures out into the ‘post-apocalyptic’ world and encounters an aggressive tranny prostitute. Back then I guess that would have been considered hilariously absurd. Back then it would have.

Typo, sorry, final paragraph: Scent Of A Woman

And human rights don’t exist

Beyond its surface narrative, “Angel Heart” can be interpreted as an allegory for the spiritual journey of an individual, revealing yet another layer of meaning.
In this context, Harry Angel’s initial state represents a person unaware of their spiritual nature. The search for Johnny Favorite symbolizes the process of delving into one’s own soul. As Harry’s investigation deepens, it mirrors how turning one’s attention inward can uncover hidden, often unsavory aspects of one’s psyche.

This interpretation presents the film as a cautionary tale for spiritual seekers. It suggests that confronting one’s inner demons requires substantial mental fortitude and willpower. Without these qualities, one risks being overwhelmed by uncovered vices and passions, much like Harry is ultimately consumed by his own dark nature.

The film’s narrative echoes the experiences of hermits and ascetics who retreated to mountains and deserts for spiritual practices. While some found enlightenment, others were driven to madness, illustrating that not everyone can successfully navigate this challenging path.

“Angel Heart” thus warns that embarking on a journey of self-discovery should not be taken lightly. It implies that one should only open this metaphorical Pandora’s box when sufficiently prepared to face the challenges that arise and committed to changing oneself. Otherwise, this path may prove insurmountable and potentially destructive.

This additional layer of meaning elevates “Angel Heart” from a supernatural thriller to a profound exploration of the human psyche and the perils and necessities of spiritual growth, reminding us that true self-knowledge comes at a price and requires strength of character to confront and overcome the darker aspects of our nature.

Not all secrets need to be revealed.

nigga, is this an ai slop response? 

turing test: failed

You will now be recycled as a dildo for ur crimes against humanity

Hello Love, please do the needful and post Bob!

Is the site/logins/accounts/user profiles bugged at the moment?

there’s overt homoeroticism daubed over the entire movie, how is that not woke? every sex joke has to be about guy-on-guy. the joke where the desk jockey has a crush on deadpool it’s a guy. when deadpool makes jokes to the soldiers about raping him they’re guys. the single case where it’s not a guy, it’s a black woman. otherwise heterosexual attraction is verboten. like yeah compared to deadpool 2 with the horrid dykes in it, it’s far less woke. but don’t try and make out that it has no woke in it.

It is possible to teach AI to write without structure and with errors. But whether the essence will be conveyed better in such a form is a big question.

? Will add that soon. Logged in users can edit their reviews still but there’s an error where it removes all “br” tags and only keeps “&nbsр;” for line breaks. The formatting is all wonky. Originally the site only had anonymous reviews like the Chans, so there was no ability to edit because there was no way to restrict it to the original poster. Then later we added user profiles and registration step by step. So we’re missing some basic features.

Everyone will be able to delete and edit comments/reviews soon. And in a better way that’s more user friendly. But as of now, you should be able to edit reviews if you go back to that movie page while logged in. Try it. 

We’ll also be improving the ghetto woke ratings and replace them with tags similar to Google reviews. Step by step though…

Thanks for your patience.

deja vu sounds right

F**kin’ lol. Damn dude. I knew it was goy slop shlocky romcom B movie, but not Dogsh*t Popcorn!

I figured I’d get some pushback on this review. I think the last time that happened was with “Talk To Me” (2022) because I said I didn’t mind the gaggle of negresses and changs in the cast. But for this, you can tell it’s a cheesy 90’s movie from the poster and release date. And the trailer. Didn’t think I needed to give a heads up about that.

I love 80’s and 90’s movies because they are unapologetically upbeat. I enjoy dark and gritty realistic movies but now everything is too self aware and makes meta jokes that break the fourth wall or try to one up each other with realism. I’m tired of every actor being ugly and frumpy. I want to watch gorgeous people LARP as normal.

Also, c’mon man! Loving animals is the Whitest thing you can do. Would love to read your review of “The Cove” (2009).

Anyways, hilarious excoriating review. Sorry to have led you astray.

Great seeing a lot of young people on this site, hope it grows.

lol
