Letterboxd — Your life in film

I like it. Glad to catch in theatres. Very funny sometimes. I like cast they are funny. Other times not funny which made me like ☹️

The visual similarity of the exo suit with Call of Duty Advanced Warfare which came out in the same year has I'm sure been joked about to death but it is really fucking funny. The whole movie has the same incomprehensible pseudo-political talk about overthrowing systems and deploying operatives to Locations and epic Enhanced Weapons that a modern COD campaign would have. Super fun.

Matt Damon

The man himself returns to grace our screens. Kenny’s reach exceeds his grasp but he just acts like he grasped no problem anyway. This is why we love him. This one is has the least of the uncanny over-expensive surreal digital element of the other two and I enjoyed it a lot. Hopefully he makes another one.

Our private premiere screening! Finally after 2 years of hard work, I am comfortable with this being done. The “with” tags don’t even begin to cut it here…theatre was filled with family, friends, old teachers…a wonderful experience. 

We’re playing online at the Brooklyn Sci Fi Fest later in the year so look out for it! It’s probably (hopefully) gonna be a longer time than usual before this is available “widely” but I’m very excited for everyone to see it. Was a joy to make it and has been even better showing it to people.

I think I heard 2% of the dialogue over everybody screaming and yelling (including me)

Strong finisher. Far more surreal and KAUFMANESQUE than I expected, coming into this as a successor to the offbeat strangeness of Raymond and Ray. Maybe…Ewan Is Afraid?? I fucking love Ewan McGregor so as disappointed as I was by his voice not being the usual crunchy unidentifiable American accent I was glad to be able to take the movie more seriously lol

GOOD TIFF!! I AM TIRED

Embarrassing. I love Pineman generally but this was grating and weak. Script is awful. Pales in comparison to something like Under the Silver Lake or Chinatown which it repeatedly compares itself to…those movies have a vibe and a flow, and are good. Maybe the worst thing I’ve ever seen in that IMAX theatre, or at least the thing that felt most bizarrely out of place there. Poolman.

Awesome. Bleak and blockbuster cinematic. Exploring the depths and depravities of humanity!! Microcosm of the costs of society and step by step of stability crumbling! Yeah I read High Rise I know how fucked up apartment complexes are!!!

Fun! Cute! Everybody looking forward to this beware: Joseph Gordon Levitt plays an Irish mobster and he has an extremely thick and historically accurate Irish accent. This really weighed down the film for me.

Far surpassed my expectations. The festival synopsis made this sound incredibly tedious, like the ideal pretentious experimental film a 15 year old could imagine. Meanwhile it’s actually kind of terrifying and doesn’t feel didactic at all despite a bunch of really well-integrated theme-navigating monologues. Larissa Corriveau has a really powerful presence and I loved watching her. Felt like a super industrial, super stripped back version of a haunted house story. Even more unnerving seeing these still, abandoned spaces on the biggest screen in the city. Insanely good loved loved loved it
