Last Movie You Watched

[Karl Henning]

More unnecessary cinematic affectation than in A Complete Unknown or Bohemian Rhapsody. I'll stick with it to the end, but not greatly enjoying it.

To be clear, I found the biographical info (albeit necessarily dramatized) of interest. Some of the presentation decisions I found off-puttingly goofy. YMMV.

Should be able to finish this during my lunchbreak: Amityville in the Hood!

Okay, this one is probably going to be impossible to top. You think it can't get any more insane, and then the next scene shows up. Also, I am pretty sure the white people people behind this movie not only wrote the "rap" songs, but also "rapped" them - it is so awesome. This is definitely the kind of movie you watch with brews and the boys, lol.

The heretofore unknown to me Amityville movies pique my interest, though bottom shelf bourbon would be required to view.  The question I have is do they outdo this cinematic gem:

[Karl Henning]

Spielberg's West Side Story. On one hand, Robert Wise's 1961 film is just plain a classic. On t'other, hey, it's a musical, and there's always room for another good film version.

Sisters with Transistors (2020), a fascinating, heartfelt exploration of the pioneering women in electronic music, inc: Bebe Barron, Suzanne Cianni, Delia Derbyshire, Daphne Oram, Laurie Spiegel, et al.  Narrated by Laurie Anderson. Well worthwhile. 

I remember hearing then reading about that movie; I would love to see it...will have to check around.

More than worth your effort to see it, IMNSHO. It's available on the streaming service, Kanopy, which many public libraries offer.

Well, it depends. That film has a budget, a significant ones, and it also stars actors who, at one time or another, were leads in movies and tv - this is "Zen Filmmaking" or like Neil Breen, so think blue/green screens, think actors/actresses who have never acted before, think special effects that run on Windows 95 -it is a sight to see, but you need to be prepared that you likely could have done everything better.

For example, the robot in Amityville in Space is literally a fat guy wearing a flame-retardant suit, I think - no metal. The guns - broken nerf guns painted poorly. The bombs didn't even have batteries to indicate they were armed, lol. It was so awesome.

Oh, I like this a lot.
