Still in a valentwines mood, what are your go-to alphasimp movies?
Taxi Driver is always a classic and almost saved us from a Raegan president (shout-out to a real 1 John hinkley)
True Romance has James gandalfini show up for one scene to beat a woman, as is itali- err tradition.
Natural Born Killers gave us Juliette lewis with that hot hick accent. She can take out her daddy issues on me and day (rip Rodney (((Dangerfield))) )

I rewatched it recently and frick it's good. I like how it just does a straightforward well organized and well directed werewolf movie. It has its thought provoking moments but just has this great focus and pacing the whole time. What are your thoughts?

Yeah, I didn't know who that was either. But he looked familiar. Apparently he was on a show called Angel and is currently on a show called SEAL Team, I've never seen either one of them.

This show a couple years old but I just started watching it
It's pretty good. It's like a mix between drag me to heck and neon demon
It's set in like late 90s (I think) this girl goes out to hollywood to do film stuff.
This guy screws her over so she puts a curse on him, but then like the curse starts fricking her own shit up too and she starts puking up cats and grows a vagina in her side.
I'm only 4 episodes in but i'm giving this 2 taylor swift thumbs up and my seal of approval.
I didn't really know what to expect when I started watching it. Thought it might be something lame and gay.
But it's decent, so yeah.
That's all.

Something of the movie felt so off compared to the 1979 version, which i believe to be the much much stronger film, and much more true to the book
Like the movie has 3 very strong sections and 3 very very shit ones
1st part is similar to book and 1979 version, boundless optimism, and the foolish naive young Iron youth, give way to the true horror of war, and not being an adventure
Then there's there's a shockingly boring half hour of the guys being behind the lines and stealing eggs and the pacing problems feels indescribably weird - i also personally could not connect with any of the chars outside of kat and paul, where in 1979 version the whole troop was very memorable, and thus the dwindling friendcircle, and the annialation of the original 9 members of the troop was much more devastating
Then there's at least a middle section where the humiliation of krauts by allies cucking them with resources, which is well acted, and the best middle action scenes with tanks and flamethrowers which is great - however good action scenes dont alone make for good war movies/dramas
tHen a second very bizarre section follows which events are out of order in the books, and compared to the1979 version, kat dies from being shot by farmboy for stealing eggs or some shit instead of on front line - now this should make little narrative difference, but i feel it undercuts the core theme of kats death from the book. I understand when Soldiers in final episode of Band of Brothers die, it sympolizes the tragic irony and horror of turbo veterans outliving shit like Normandy and Rhine battles, only to die of car crash, but with Kat in 1979 version, he dies after everyone of the original troop, despite being a gigachad rugged soldier - symolizing the ruthlessness of the war consuming all of bravest and most battle-hardened noble soldiers, dying of egg-poaching undercuts the deadly all cosuming reach of the war itself
There's other shit which bothers me as well
Post kat death the movie stalls AGAIN. Like wtf is with the goddarn pacing of this movie holy shit - it's like im watched 3 different movies stitched together.
Like in book and 1979, the pace is even and very simple - the group gradually dwindles over time, with eACH concurrent death being heavier and heavier, there's no weird soul shit mid way. The full culmination of Kat's death, is how unexpected it is, because until the reveal we believe the old veteran of all the smucks would live - with the final climax beings Paul's death despite being a mega veteran by war's end, when he has a moment's relapse in judgement when painting a bird and exposing his head over trench, symbolising the culmination of lost innocence
Like the book &1979 is very basic and simple - the themes are simple but deep, the slow burn is as satisfying as it's cruel and heartwrenching
The fricking 2022 movie pinballs from great to brokenshit nonsense, again wtf is with the pacing,
Also i fricking realize the krauts attempted to recontextualize the feeling of betrayal which soldiers felt the political leaders sold the ground beneath their feet, not being privy to the macro scale info on how turbo fricked krauts were, but my god the head kraut bad-guy literal fricking ww1 mouschtache twirling guy is so comically evil and 1dimensional, it's like a lap of iced water to my face - it's like fricking JarjarBinks whiplash
One moment we have the cruelty of man displayed in all its rawness as Paul remorses over the Frog he stabbed in a krater, the next fricking Frollo from Hunchbag of Notredarne is singing his badguy lyrics - like it reminds of that shitty RedTails George Lucas movie about black americans overcoming their perceived racism from their white peers, while still fricking portraying the head kraut badguy as a scar having saturday cartoon villain, it kind of defeats the purpose to dispel old mythos if you just upkeep others
Like i realize people can experience things differently, and maybe others who saw 2022 might believe im over exagerating, and they felt the Kraut General stand in, but for me it was too too too too much, its like cold water splashed into your bed.
The 1979 movie was very muted.
And this whole obsession of the 2022 to place the 2ndary theme of how Krauts mythologized the loss of WW1 as the fault of politicians, which i understand is a big mythos for krauts ,and the rise of old adolf, but it tears the movie into different types of frankenshit parts. It feels indescribable to me - like krauts had to postrate themselves before the earth about how WRONG they were in history, and the rest of us were like "you r-slurs realize that AllQuiet book was very neutral in the portrayal of its themes?" Like it applied to all parties on the western front
Something about the fricking movie feels very Presentism, like a need to ascribe present day morals to the old book, as if it needs updating. I want to go full r-slur and almost call it woke, but it's very very far from woke, it's another indescribable form of cuckoldry which i think is unique to krauts and their perpetual self shame. I donno its so weird and im not media literate to describe the feeling of weirdness i felt about the miss-mash of themes i was left with post movie
TLDR: go watch 1979 version, much better movie

Backstory so she got bullied into doing a professional theme song cover because during a stream she mispronounced Shego, the villainess from the show. She got called a fake fan or something.
Also did anyone else want Shego to dominate you? Those Disney fricks really know how to frick with kids. Every girl on that show was hot. Even Kim's mom was a smoke stack.

The best way to watch this movie is to see it without having heard anything about it (whilst having a passing understanding of the Holocaust; without this, I think it'd seem slight).
I've always been morbidly fascinated by the Holocaust precisely because it's so unthinkable, but it happened so recently (I was struck by the fact that the children depicted in this movie are only slightly older than my parents). I've never seen or read anything that comes close to explaining, in an emotionally tangible way, how the whole thing worked. Zone Of Interest probably comes the closest. In Glaser's movie, 'the Holocaust' is something happening just slightly out of sight. The characters live just outside the perimeter fencing of Auschwitz, in a lovely home constructed for them as the family of Auschwitz's commandant. The then-unnamed Holocaust was, to them, a few puffs of smoke and ash that blankets their yard, distant but unclear screams, smells, and gunshots. There isn't a single named Jewish character aside from the characters' house staff. The main characters carry on their lives with this backdrop (including, in one scene, a child's pool party that occurs while untold horrors occur audibly but invisibly). It is foreboding in a way that I'm not smart enough to explain.
Compared with something like Schindler's List, in which Speilberg depicts Goeth as an almost Satanic evil, Rudolf Hoss is shown here as a cypher who engages in mass murder the same way any public servant navigates government bureaucracy. A scene towards the end where he shares with his wife that, whilst at a party, he lamely daydreamed about the logistics of gassing everybody in the room, seems to suggest that even his most clearly murderous impulses are banal. Glaser seems to hold the truly nihilistic view that the functioning of the Nazi's operations were dependent on everyone involved having little intellectual interest in the things they did, rather than being zealots for the cause.
If we consider the 'Holocaust movie' as it's own subgenre that began with the 1970 network TV miniseries, reached a low with 'The Boy In Striped Pyjamas' and 'Jojo Rabbit', I think we will look back on Zone of Interest as the example that most closely reached some sort of verisimilitude.
Don't watch if you're an r-slur and have brain rot
