Just watched Nightcrawler. Disturbing world view of protagonist. "Lurid" is the best adjective.

I enjoyed it.

I was all pumped for Nightcrawler, only to be disappointed. I guess it was ok, but I guess my expectations were too high.

My wife wants to go see a movie tomorrow night. What should we see? She mentioned Jupiter Ascending or Seventh Son. Neither of those has good scores on Rotten Tomatoes. I was thinking more along the lines of Imitation Game or Selma. Recommendations appreciated. :-)

I haven't seen it yet, but have not heard one bad thing about Imitation Game. Everyone I know who has seen it likes it.

I listened to the How Did This Get Made guys talk about Zardoz. Maybe I'll start a brief but torrid love affair with those weird spacey fever dream sci-fi movies of the 70s and 80s. They've always fascinated me. I just don't know if I can abide the music though.

I don't mean movies like Clockwork Orange, I mean movies like Logan's Run.

You might want to try the Italian "Star Wars" knockoffs, I think they'll fit your bill. Plus, they're hilariously bad.

The Imposter isn't just a great documentary. It's a great movie. It's a really a trip. Recommend it strongly. On Netflix.
