Not really kino. Wonder how it'll turn out.

Didn't expect to see this kino in 2022

The "gore" has big Riki-Oh vibes

Here's the trailer, seems pretty banging

In other news my wife didn't secure the chinchilla's home properly and they escaped for a few hours I really hope they didn't eat plastic or anything wrong jesus christ lady

If you're not convinced after watching just 10 minutes of this cringefest, I've attached a picture of the man who wrote it.

She doesn't wear them in the prime timeline, only the Georgeless one. What did they mean by this?

Wouldn't be Christmas if I didn't repost this

Be mad about it, cute twink

Waaaay better than Madonna, more identifiable than Benetar, more punk even than Blondie because Cyndi never fricking sold out rapping about eating cars. . Cyndi did Goonies, True Colors, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, Time After Time: she is the proto skeleton for Tay Tay

First of all I want to say I enjoyed the first Knives Out. I had issues with how ham-fisted the theme of "rich white people bad, poor minority good" was but overall enjoyable.

I was a bit apprehensive about it being a retread, but I convinced myself that with it being a sequel Rian Johnson must have known he should take things in a different direction. However I am here to inform you he didn't, and I mean not at all. The theme is identical. I can spoil it without spoiling it. It is the most likely suspect and the motive is exactly what you suspect it is. Up until the very end I was waiting for some twist because the answer was too obvious, but the twist never came.

Now for actual spoilers. The culprit is Elon Musk. Actually a character that is very blatantly supposed to represent Elon Musk. The murder victim was his former partner who he got rich with, a black woman. His motive is that he is actually a big dumb idiot and not a genius at all who took credit for the black woman's work and forced her out of the company. She was going to expose this to the world and ruin him. Now with the black woman dying you are missing out on the female minority character, right? Fear not, she actually has a twin sister. A humble school teacher who reaches out to Daniel Craig's character to solve her sister's death and becomes heavily involved in figuring out the mystery and taking down Musk.

Now some minor changes from the first film. The rich people are slightly more diverse, this time including a black dude and a half Filipino dude. None of the rich people even try to pretend to be decent humans unlike the first film. One is a fashionista who is dumb and "has no filter" (AKA a racist). One is an Andrew Tate type Twitch streamer. One is a faux liberal politician. Now that I think about it, the black character wasn't given an equivalent butthole character trait, he is just a scientist who works for the Musk character. Guess Rian was afraid to make the black guy too much of a bad guy. There are a couple other non-rich characters but they don't matter much to the plot. Also none of them earned their success and are all propped up by Musk's money. Might sound familiar to people who saw the first movie.

Will finish this off by sharing one really stupid moment during the climax. To set it up. Musk, the rich buttholes and the victim were a group of friends who hung out at a bar called the "Glass Onion". This is where the victim came up with the idea that made Musk rich, which she wrote down on a bar napkin. When she tried to prevent Musk from doing something dangerous with the company he forced her out by forging said napkin and getting the rest of the group to lie and say it was the original. The original napkin was inexplicably missing at this point I guess?

Anyways in present time that black woman managed to recover the original and sent an email to the rest of the group saying she wants to talk. This is ultimately what gets her killed as Musk visits her, fakes her suicide and steals the napkin. He doesn't destroy it though which is r-slurred enough on it's own. Fast forward to present time and the victim's sister manages to recover the napkin from Musk and declares it as the end for him. Musk points out the very obvious flaw that he can just claim that that one is the forgery and his is the original. But wait, the original napkin has an imprint of the logo of the bar they all frequented that had since shut down. Which of course could never in a million years be easily forged, but that doesn't matter because the dumb b-word is holding a napkin right in front of Musk who just sets it on fire and destroys it. Now without proof to bring Musk to justice she sets the Mona Lisa on fire in an act of revenge or some shit. I don't know the movie had lost me at that point.

In conclusion. Rian Johnson sucks.

I went and saw The Pale Blue Eye in a gay hippie artsy theater with like 2 tiny theater rooms because normal theaters only carry marvel or Disney apparently.

It's a movie directed by some guy probably featuring Christian Bale who, obviously, plays his character brilliantly so the review won't be about him.

Bale's flawlessly neurodivergent acting (he's the Messi of acting) was supported well by the supporting cast of the fat kid who played Dudley Dursley in the original wandshit kino. He grew up, obviously, and isn't fat anymore but he's definitely frickin wicked queer looking. Anyway, he plays Edgar Allen Poe. Did you know Poe was at West Point (but failed to commission)? I didn't.

Anyway, the other actors are ok (two hot broads and some ugly men). Costuming and directing and scenery rock, too.

Story is rad but I won't ruin it for you.

TLDR

Final rating: 9 jammin marseys out of 10 /

Go see it

We weren’t really sure if this one was actually happening, but then a week ago I broke the news that Ridley Scott was scouting locations for “Gladiator 2.” Now we have more details …

"Gladiator 2” will start production in May of 2023. That’s a little more than 5 months from now, which is also when Scott’s “Napoleon” is rumored to be released in theaters. The Gladiator sequel will be directed by Scott and shot via the lens of DP Dariusz Wolski.

The sequel will follow Lucius (son of Lucilla and the nephew of Joaquin Phoenix's villainous Commodus). If you remember, Maximus saved Lucius from his uncle in the 2000 film. Connie Nielsen, who played Lucilla, is part of the sequel’s cast. So is Djimon Hounsou who is set to return as the once-enslaved Juba.

Temple of Doo is better than the other Indy moves, discuss

Home Alone 2: Buck Broken. Frick that movie.

Temple of Doom:

insanely violent

india looks pretty as a postcard

insanely violent

funnier than Home Alone 2

child slavery

chilled monkey brains

i recommend watching this with your family this holiday season!

tw: the original slendershit, from long before it became a meme

Modern political documentaries are usually pretty trash, but this one is fricking exceptional. The producers follow the storylines of a few of these boys "running for office" and it's one of the most emotional and terrifying things you'll watch.

I cannot recommend this enough

Home Alone 2:

• insanely violent

• has Tim Curry and Rob Schneider

• NYC looks pretty as a postcard

• insanely violent

• funny, if not funnier than Home Alone 1

• cameo from the president

i recommend watching this with your family this holiday season!

Book is Men Without Women by Haruki Murakami. Was hoping for incel literature but it's all old Japanese simps crying over kitty
