!kino hit or miss?

Had high hopes for this one so it was really disappointing that it sucked. It looked similar to Silence of the Lambs, Seven, Mindhunter, etc... cerebral horror thriller. I'd give the trailers a 10/10 but the actually payoff was a boring mess

The protagonist is borderline neurodivergent and there's lot's of long pauses and slow dialogue. There's a supernatural, devil-made-me-do-it element that undermines the inherent creepiness of the serial killer premise. It's very overproduced with the wrong decision being made at nearly every turn

Also, the Jews need to get back in charge and fire the goy who paid Nick Cage money for an unrecognizable character that could've been played by your garden variety crazy

Anyone else see it? I really want to talk about it because I'm annoyed

FRICK YEAH.

I'm bumming HBO Max off of someone else for the moment so I finally got around to Matrix 4. Also watched a lot of, uh, less notable stuff like RWBY x Justice League lmao. Not watching Dragon slop though

Anyway, what is everyone else watching?

!kino @Aevann please pin

I hate Huey Long but I won't hate the people who believed in him.

I only just got around to finally seeing this Honestly it reminded me of the other Matrix sequels. There were some cool aspects but like 2 and 3 it kinda gets bogged down in an overly convoluted storyline and just isn't very coherent. But I was giggling at the unsubtle mockery of Hollywood reboots complete with a jab at Warner Bros

!neolibs according to our magazine GRRM and James Caldwell provide some advice on real life governance. Here's the article in question.

https://archive.li/ZN8jm

Daemon's tactics differ only in degree from those of Nayib Bukele, the president of El Salvador, who has rounded up tens of thousands of suspected gangsters, locked them up indefinitely and shared a video on social media of them stacked like semi-naked Lego bricks in overcrowded jails. Both leaders want to look tough on crime; neither fusses about due process.

!latinx Nayib Bukele is just like Daemon Targaryen

The second season also has echoes of modern America. King Aegon II Targaryen (Tom Glynn-Carney) is a narcissist with improbable hair who knows nothing about governance and says whatever he thinks will please the audience in front of him. When grown-up officials offer sage advice, he grimaces with boredom. When devious courtiers want to sway him, they flatter his preposterous ego.

OMG AEGON II IS JUST LIKE DRUMPF

Aegon II is incredibly based by the way but Blackcels keep popping up propaganda for Girlboss Traenyra.

The characters in "Shogun" are often cruel, too, but they follow a code. They respect the law—indeed, much of their plotting depends on the assumption that their opponents will not openly flout it. Good luck trying that with Mr Putin.

I dislike Putin but media comparisons are always so cringe. Plus for all the talk about honor, the characters in Shogun are very backstabby so to speak.

It's p good. It's a "found footage" movie about a late night talk show host in the 70s who will do anything to boost his ratings. It's not really scary but more spooky and tense. The little girl is really creepy.

The first trailer for ‘CAPTAIN AMERICA: BRAVE NEW WORLD’ has been released.

Here's what she looks like in the comics

Take a look at this shit, it is literally comical with the amount of racism towards arabs

No, it did not get better in modern times

And naturally the actress is an IDF soldier too

we will NOT be seated! not only is former idf member shira haas still in this movie she's featured TWICE in the trailer.

REMINDER: MARVEL IS TRYING TO HIDE THE FACT THAT SABRA THE ISRAELI SUPER-SOLDIER CHARACTER IS IN THIS MOVIE. SHE WILL PLAY A PROMINENT PART AND IS THE REASON THE MCU BOYCOTT HAS BEEN CALLED.

What I'm wondering is why they're so surprised Disney is well known to be aligned with Israel, they should've been boycotting anyway

Anyway look at this kino shot

I love shitty greenscreening

Pretrial was insane hope someone makes live threads

NWR's next feature is his long-in-the-works spy movie "The Avenging Silence."

A listing in Production Weekly confirms the production start date in Korea

The project is a blend of "James Bond" and classics likes "Le Samouraï" and "Tokyo Drifter," about a mute ex-spy brought out of retirement to kill off an exiled Yakuza boss. Bond alums Robert Wade and Neal Purvis pen the script for Refn, who last year called "The Avenging Silence" his "last grand finale" and the "endeavor of his soul."

NWR has teased fans about this project in countless ways over years: it'll be a "big extravagant action film;" a 2016 tweet paired book covers of "Dr. No" and "The Soft Machine" with the accompanying text, "Ian Fleming + William Burroughs + NWR = The Avenging Silence."

some guy is gonna kill the President-Elect to install the VP

is this predictive programming or do the (((producers))) need to read another insurrection?

!nooticers

EDIT: LOL WHY WOULD THEY DO THE CHRISTMAS SPECIAL LIVE FOR RYAN TO GO ROGUE ON LMFAO

EDIT2: all in all this episode was about 100000x times better than the last one, but it's still The Boys season 4

I have never laughed at a Simpsons joke.

Total !familyman victory?

RIP Shelly Duvall, you gave your greatest performances! I’ll always remember you as Frankenstein’s mother in Frankenweenie and of course Wendy from The Shining. You will be missed. pic.twitter.com/O2fIjRWE6L
