The very act of being entertained is the maker’s orchestration of drawing up particular sets of emotions though

Personally, I like the horror genre. I’m guessing maybe you do too?

Oh there are plenty. No Country for Old Men, Se7en, The Usual Suspects, The Prodigy, Silence of the Lambs, Chinatown, The Wickerman.....there are plenty.

Indeed. The more and sick and twisted the better. If you have not seen The Prodigy.....do so.

Those are good ones too. The dark knight stood out to me immediately because it was an amazing trilogy. But also because the joker really fucks up Batman. Which, I mean, it’s Batman..

I'm all about the bullets and bikini's....

Watched the SUSPIRIA remake finally. Thank goodness for fast forwarding. I really enjoy horror movies. And it still sucked of epic proportions.

Exactly......The Strangers come up for me. Older movie around 2010 I think, but left my wife shaken up.

Oh yeah! That's a good one too! Can't believe I forgot that one. Miss part 2. Not worth the time.

What these two movies have in common? The lead actors are probably the most talented actors in their generation but most often being misguided. And Meryl Streep probably is the best female actress of all time (see The Devil Wears Prada).

Watched Glass last night. Kind of slow and didn't have that "build-up" you would expect through the movie......ending was okay but still left some questions about other things that come to light near the end.

My wife and I watched it last night too. Didn't know what to expect but I'd say you summed it up pretty well.

Went to the theater to watch this the day it was released. I was so disappointed that I sat through the credits waiting for something else to happen.

Agreed. I enjoyed the movie itself but the ending left me feeling....well, like half of his movies leave me feeling at the end. He really is hit or miss. Sad too because Split was a fantastic watch.

We weren't the only ones in the theater waiting/expecting something more. I genuinely felt like Ralphy from a Christmas Story after decoding his message from Lil Orphan Annie.

[The Libertine]

Watched “The Silence” on Netflix....

Agree

Jordan Peele certainly proved he's got more in the tank. It'll be interesting to see if his career tracks more like Tarantino with solid hit after hit or Shyamalan who seems more up and down.

[1MOREMOD]

Watching the Grey again tonight

[King Rudi]

Well played mods.....well played. I started to report the post but had to make an ass of myself first.

[Germanauto]

Just saw Avengers Endgame.

Pretty good but the ending wasn't all that happy.
