a gaggle of ancient broads with one foot in the casket and they still think they deserve a tom brady. the limits of hypergamy are truly beyond reason.
Welcome back! Literally shouted “Beertje Blauw!” when I saw ur review. Thought you were gone for good. Same with Mondo Mirth. (Miss that lil nigga…) But I don’t want any pressure to stick around or write weekly reviews because it’s not like you’re paid staff or anything. Which is why I don’t want to check in or comment like a guilt tripping lonely mother. But I appreciate all you guys, especially the O.G. ones that have been around since the beginning.
Idk if you saw, but I tried hiring someone to manage social media and post relevant memes. Well, you get what you pay for (and I can’t afford professionals quite yet) so I left for 2 months without checking up on her. Turns out she was posting gore and normie memes and unrelated cat videos. Guess my instructions weren’t clear. Needless to say, I immediately discontinued that and deleted all her social media posts. ? Likewise with a guy trying to help with SEO. All that came from that was now each site tab now says “Is X woke?” which I’m not sure even helps us rank higher.
All that is to say that I’ve given up on trying to grow it as a top priority. At least for the time being, and instead view ZR as an artist collective type project. A webzine or journal so that even if you leave and never write another review, at least there will be a collection of reviews and musings for ppl to look at. Same for if we never get hockey stick social network type growth. The work put into it thus far still has value.
So, I’ll focus on improving features and UI gradually until I can secure some more money to do it quicker. In the meantime, your feedback is always welcome and we’ll prioritize it. But feel free to come and go as you please.
( Also, in regards to the younger folks: I’m trying to get a banner ad on AmRen or other sites so we get a more diverse ecosystem. More classic movies and articulate old guy reviews to balance out the shit posting and anime obsession. I went to the 2024 AmRen convention and got a few older fellas to contribute reviews too. You just might not know which of us are geezers. ? )
Fuckin’ lol. Damn dude. I knew it was goy slop shlocky romcom B movie, but not Dogshit 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.
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.
One recommendation: Most of the time, after someone posts a review you get a lot of reactions from people, thumb ups, or downs, a reply, etc but then it mostly sinks down, for example nobody responded to any of my reviews in the months I have been gone. Old reviews are snowed under and forgotten. So it might be a good idea to make a 4th button next to latest that shows random reviews from everyone on the site. This way you increase the engagement with other people’s reviews and makes it easier for people to find new media to watch.
It’s all good, part of the fun is shitting on it afterwards. I mean compared to ‘Elizabethtown’, Dog Park was fucking oscar material.
Old geezer music forum? Sounds great. I want to have music forums here. I think starting by scraping Discogs.com, Last.FM, & RateYourMusic.com would be a good start. But gotta improve the existing issues and pillars of the site first. For example, you still can’t write reviews on truly underground things unless you first make an IMDb page. There are a lot of good projects like the stuff Emily Youcis, Sam Hyde, and all the folks associated with the White Art Collective made that aren’t supported here because of that. And the whole point of ZR is not to simply live in the shadow of (((Hollywood))) and find hidden gems but to support independent art from /ourguys/ as well. Same goes for our music scene. I find a lot of great music and then forget what they’re called. Like this YouTube channel EuropeanUnity565. It’s mainly RAC from various countries but there’s also exploratory rap, metalcore, synth indie, etc.
European Unity 565 https://www.bitchute.com/channel/xnWIemZmTp8h
Les Brigandes – Democracy https://www.bitchute.com/video/bJkYGHp20FJW Kroc Blanc – Nazi https://www.bitchute.com/video/q0UMYuew8cZo
Komplott – Europa https://www.bitchute.com/video/1SIYEBDZG6A2 14 Sacred Words – A Declaration Of War https://www.bitchute.com/video/lhYbctB91ny3
I could go on and on. But yeah, I really wanna’ pick up the torch where EuropeanUnity565 and WhiteArtCollective took off. We need to support the vanguards! But allow any genre and any race. I think it becomes a circle jerk purity spiral and you limit yourself to a lot of good stuff out there. Like, https://88nsm.com/ is a great resource and they have many genres. But it’s all only about nazi stuff. I think you pigeon hole yourself and that’s not conducive to a movement growing and art needs to be able to experiment freely. So ZR’s forum would also allow interpretations of classics like:
Steve Windwood – Higher Love (Murdoch Murdoch) https://www.bitchute.com/video/2fMCNUfPP0k Or to be able to appreciate other races art without being called a cuck. You said you like progrock? What about mathrock? Go figure, Asians are good at math(rock) too:
LITE – Bond https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlWiRjIcjOk
Rega – Barrel Roll https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcuhwhrCtEc
tricot – POOL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZjTXh_zaXc
Damn, I’m ranting. Clearly this site needs a music forum and music playlist option. But before that, we’ll work on other requested features… Anywho welcome back.
This review does not make any judgement about the film, it only judges other reviewers. It does not talk about the merits (or lack therof) of brokeback mountain.
+ 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.
long, detailed review, and managed to do so without spoiling much.
Great and accurate review. I’d just like to add that the movie is set in modern londen, with obvious implications.

You mean the reset password email doesn’t send or you never set up a recovery email? You’ve been an O.G. user for a while so maybe you had a profile without it. We tried to make it as easy as possible to post reviews without confirmation links sent or any of that, since fighting network effects is hard enough. But situations like this may be rough. Lemme think… In the meantime, sorry! Maybe make an alt account? I’ll check back soon after looking into it.
I appreciate that you are not Letterboxd, even though their website loads quicker.
Sorry, bear with us. Trying to improve the UI and make it so you can add custom tags and custom ratings. But it’s a game of telephone and experimentation and discussion. Now that we have regular users it might be a better idea to finalize a feature before publishing changes to the site. We’ve always just done it step by step. But please be vocal if you feel like. That way we know what to reverse or what to double down on. Will add your “random” suggestion for the review widget soon. We also fixed the edit/delete option users requested but are still tinkering and getting the UI right for that.
Glad you like it! Keep coming back and speak your mind so we can continue to improve.
Yeah idk what gives. We use cloudflare but maybe we’ve had a spike in traffic lately? Working on improving UI and SEO right now which includes getting rid of superfluous shit. Anyways, glad you like it. Stay tuned…
Biggest shame to me is it could have been a decent commentary on addiction/substance abuse, pride/chasing fame, and modern women refusing to age gracefully, but instead of an ending that ties those themes together and says something, it’s lolsorandumb cheap gore shock porn. Disappointing.
