Yes, it has been 1 week since the last thread. Don't question me.
What have you kinosseurs been watching? How was it? Tell us! 
Movies:
Wonka (2023) - Saw this one with my mom. It's a really cute family movie! Admittedly there are some deeply Marxist messages, but nothing more than intersecting the convergence of religion, commerce, and police state to protect capital and subjugate workers. Honestly didn't expect to like it, but I couldn't stop smiling. Twinky Tim is really great in this.
Chinatown (1974) - Forget it, Jake. It's Chinatown 
. A classic noir starring (arguably) the best actor of all time, Jack Nicholson. Why did I wait this long to watch it? I though it had Chinese people and avoided it.
THX 1138 (1971) - George Lucas movie which came out 6 years before Soy Wars. Experimental and esoteric scifi (corpopunk?) dystopian movie about drugged sexless humans working in robot factories, slowly regaining humanity. I see what it was going for. Sci-fi bros can't stop jerking off over this, but it was ok. Maybe if you never read book and were in a dorm room in 1997-2009 and this hit your brain, you'd feel like you took a redpill idk.
Dream Scenario (2023) - Nicholas Cage in an A24 movie about a boring evolutionary psychology professor who suddenly starts appearing in people's dreams. He becomes a viral sensation and his life pays the toll. Story explores the theme of regular people stumbling into viral relevancy and the toll it takes on their lives, even when they have pretty much done nothing wrong. Decent laughs and Nic Cage makes a coom face.
Napoleon (2023) - Goddarn this movie was some garbage lmao. Only saving grace was Vanessa Kirby mogging the planet. Napoleon simps so hard he destroys the continent for she 
. Also wildly historically inaccurate.
Dave Chapelle: The Dreamer (2023) - This one was decently funny. His last special, Dave Chappelle: The Closer (2021) where he just ranted about 
s. Funny blowback, but unfunny show. This new one was actually pretty funny. Unfortunately he ended it with a really gay like 10 minute stool speech about chasing your dreams.
TV:
True Detective: Night Country - LOL
Reacher - (spoilers, but this show is r-slurred so who cares) Basically his Le Special Investigators Unit did like 3 months on a case 11 years ago and they immediately became family??? Frick this was a mid season. Go back to a small cast and beating up goons in small towns.
The Terror - Just started this one. In episode one, the guys who play Brutus and Julius Caesar in Rome are in a scene where someone talks about "Crossing the Rubicon" 
Show is pretty good though, will stick with it.
Curb Your Enthusiasm - With news that the new season will also be the last, I am in determined to catch up in time. Just started season 6 when the black family moves in. Already funnier than like all of season 5.

Started watching Your Honor this weekend, mostly because I was bored and didn't have stuff to watch. Surprisingly invested in it, crime procedural starring good ol' malcolm's dad about an accident entangling a judge and a crime boss in n'o'l'n's. Show is well made, well shot, well acted, twists and turns feel surprising and not rote.
Watched Civil War yesterday, wasn't bad, directorial voice seems to be criticizing the journos just as much as if not more than any of the other characters in the movie. Ron Perlman playing Not Donald Trump was interesting, and didn't have any groan moments. I'm not even sure the character was supposed to mock trump, but I'm also pretty far out of the last year or two of politics, so I could be wrong here.
Multiple shots of main journo characters with literal blood on their hands, all the journos, MCs included, shown to be self-serving, cowardly, broken, some negative archetype. Only people shown acting like normal/decent people are the WF soldiers in the third act. If we assume nothing in a movie is accidental, and it's worth considering that the semiotic notes I mention here aren't one-off moments but consistent, then it seems the director is nearly shouting.
I think a lot of people had wingoid knee-jerk reactions to this movie, but watching it yesterday and having been uninvolved in [CURRENT YEAR] politiball homosexery for a while now, I'm willing to say most people missed the director's actual intent, which seems to actually be "I fricking hate journos".
Thoughts? !followers have you seen Civil War? What were y'all's impressions?

I saw the dead don't die. It's boring but I liked it. Kind of like watching how it's made; boring but weirdly interesting at the same time. Watching ghost dog way of the samurai right now by the same director and it's just boring boring

I fricking love The Terror. The characters are great and the mood is kino.
THX 1138 kino too, I love all the 70s dystopian movies they have great aesthetics. Watch The Andromeda Strain if you haven't yet, it's different and quite slow but I liked it a lot.
Didn't like Dream Scenario, it was too uneventful even for an A24 movie.
I've been watching Wayward Pines, it's pretty good. Good, classic, to the point, small town mystery.
Watched the first episodes of Invasion (2021), it was shit. It's like For All Mankind, a melodrama that pretends to be Sci-Fi but really it's for women.
Watched Train to Busan again, after seeing the trailer on youtube.
Watching Memories of Murder tonight.

Memories of Murder (2003) is one of the best Korean kinos ever.
For All Mankind has that Apple budget for great lunar landscapes, but holy shit the episodes feel like they're 4 hrs long and there's so much fricking talking about nothing

I'm going to check out Dream Scenario. Sounds interesting. The Terror too.
I've been watching Three Body and the plot is interesting but goddarn does this show love flashbacks. It's really annoying. Also the subtitles suck but what can you do. Overall I give it a 6/10

Isn't The Terror based on the book (about a shipwreck and a wendigo monster?) if so, I read the book ages ago and it was really good.

I watched Wonka. Music was forgettable, which isn't good for a musical. Kids will probably love it but I didn't.
Watched both seasons of The Bear. Didn't even know the show existed until it won a bunch of Emmys. It's pretty good but flawed.
Caught up on Invincible season 2. Still really enjoying it.
Also tried watching Monarch: Legacy of Monsters which I just found out about. It takes place in the modern day Godzilla/Kong universe. It's supposed to focus on the people more than the monsters which is fine by me because I'm not one of those "My Kaiju movie should be 2 hours of monsters fighting" kind of people. I gave up 4 episodes in when I realized the human focused Godzilla show failed to make any of the main human's actually likeable. The movies have the same issue but at least they have the excuse that the humans are ancillary characters, not the stars.

Had that same experience with Monarch, don't remember a single character name and didn't give a frick. Also, I understand the melodrama angle but giant monsters only as background skyboxes was disappointing. I also slept through most of the second half of the first season, so, I could have missed stuff.

Has Saltburn made it big outside of TERF Island? It's all anyone's talked about for a few weeks now. That bathtub scene has become iconic.
Personally I kind of enjoyed it but it was a bit long and scattered in places. It relied on its shock scenes to cover up everything else.

I can already tell you how True Detective will end.
"Oh no, the scientists found some ancient bacteria that turns you into zombies! What will we do?"
The police/whitey can't figure it out. Then Eskimo Grandma comes up and says "ahhhhh, we have heard of this, this bacteria is ancient chinese secret I mean ancient eskimo secret, you must do the ritual to contain it!" And Jodie Foster will be like "I ain't doin no frickin ritual" and then her stepdaughter will become a zombie and she'll say "okay I'm doin the frickin ritual" and the last step of the ritual will be to sacrifice yourself.
The huge TWIST will be that the scientists didn't find the bacteria in the ice, they have been artificially cultivating it by kidnapping eskimo women and cultivating it by experimenting on them. At some point one of the scientists will utter the phrase "gain of function". One of the scientists was probably raping the women too, which got him infected, then he infects the rest of the scientists and they end up at the start of the series.

I remember hearing a lot about it and then when I googled watch free I got to an Russian site watched 5 min with Russian dubs and the amount he swears wasn't somehow funny in Russian so I turned into English and it was a bit more funny yet I still didn't enjoyed it and stopped watching on 10 min. His old sketches were a lot more funnier
Tried also to watch new aquaman but piratecels need to invest into their cameras with higher light sensivity since everything was so dark that I didn't even watched for 1 min
