I've watched it two days ago for the very first time n still spiraling on my mind. Like I do think abt the storyline, lens of the writer of the films but this one captured me so hard. Every time I try to dive deeper and deeper and deeper, there's another layer of clarity and vagueness. Yeah Ik it sounds like typical Kiarostami throw-off but fr how do you guys actually feel about this one?

Even when I'm typing this, I noticed that in the set-off, the author and the lady duo started with English in their convo, while on the mid the author suddenly pulled French then surprisingly their different English-French.

Bruh this AK language blast offs fckin complicating copies in my head! How do you feel??

Discussion - The wicker Man (1973)

Today we are watching The Wicker Man from 1973.

I've never seen this movie, but like everyone else, I know the ending. So I'm interested to finally watch this one and see how knowing how it all turns out, affects my watch.

Give us your thoughts.

Digger (2026)

Saw the trailer when I saw The Odyssey and had it on my calendar ever since. Avoided seeing, hearing or reading anything about it, blanked my mind on who directed it, wanted to go in a cold read. I agree with u/brownpearl on r/flicks, absolute cinema, and would add elaborate, trenchant storytelling.

My first thoughts were Kubrick, Kubrick, then because my IMAX had such great sound, it added an Eraserhead-ish eerie surrounding and suffusing background of almost recognizable, often rhythmic industrial, natural and organic sounds. It even had the Spielberg War of the Worlds tripod's horrible booming - not lost on Cruise, I'm sure. Oh yeah, Maggie the Cat (on a hot tin roof).

Any Pacific Rim fans out there? You'll see a fan fave. Plus a good role for Michael Stuhlbarg.

I predict major Oscar snubs; it's that good.

Discussion - Land of the Dead (2005)

Today we are watching George A. Romero's, Land of the Dead.

If you've been with us a while, you'll know that I was a massive snob as a teenager and have (hopefully) softened in my old age. After being such a huge fan of the original trilogy, I hated this movie when it came out. I though it was stupid and a disservice to Romero's legacy.

But, I'm a changed man, I tell you! I haven't watched this in 20 years, but I'm going to watch it today, and I'm actually pretty excited for some good, old, zombie fun. I'm going back in with an open mind and heart, and shall report back to all you fine people.

I'm more interested in what you guys think, though. Give it a watch and tell us what it does for you.

Just watched the witch

My wife swears that Caleb gropes thomasin at the beginning of the movie, but no amount of Google search comes up with anything. Does anyone else remember that, is it a deleted scene, or is it some kind of Mandela effect?

I've never seen this movie, but have heard it mentioned over the years. I know nothing about it except what the title might suggest, which has me interested. We shall see.

Watch it and let us know where you stand on this one.
