The Stranger
You can see all the usual artistry in Welles' direction, the background to the story is interesting and touchy considering the movie was made one year after the war ended, but the plot, writing is a contrived, melodramatic and at times preposterous mess.

I just watched the interactive black mirror movie on Netflix called bandersnatch. Although a little gimmicky, it was awesome! Quite unsettling in parts. A must see experience!

I loved those old books as a kid. It was thrilling to know you could actually make a wrong decision and die, but at the end of the day you could always read your way out of it.

Yeah, BB was better than QP but only marginally. QP has a few scenes that didn’t seem realistic like when they were in the grain silo the way she came out of the grain when the boy pulled her up or the way the monster sat on top of the grain.

I thought A Quiet Place was pretty crap overall. Boring and the ending was shit.

I saw Aquaman. I liked it but the rest of the world will probably not rate it as high as Wonder Woman.

I watched Bird Box. I really liked it. First movie in a long time I watched without losing attention because a two-year old keeps asking me to draw a car. Yes, my little girl loves cars. Fuck you, it is 2019, deal with it.

Watched Bird Box today. I think it was just fine. Not particularly exciting or original, but a perfectly fine way to pass two hours. John Malkovich was the highlight, of course.

I tried to sit through Infinity War last night. I just couldn't. Fell asleep 2/3rds through it. Yawn. So cheesy. The Guardians parts where cool, but the rest was so lame.

Watched Bird Box. Good stuff. I liked the "villain". I felt the flashback kind of left a too big gap between then and the present, and the last 5 minutes felt like a copout, but overall it was fun and nerve wracking. Was like a mix of "The Happening" and "The Road".
Have you seen all the idiots doing the Bird Box challenge? Lol, damn fools.

I’ve only seen the trailer. There’s no way I can get my wife to watch that. Anything before 1995 is too old for her.

Black Mirror: Bandersnatch - Really cool. We had fun exploring the different options and endings, and I could really see this becoming a new way to experience movies.
That said, the story could have been a little stronger. The acting was mostly good, but a lot of the endings and options were a little silly. When we can make it a cool "Choose-Your-Own-Adventure" where it all flows well and all the endings are equally dramatic, we'll have something here.

I watched Bandersnatch too. I thought it was pretty boring. The first hour is fine and the choices you make are pretty fun but it gets tedious. I watched the last ten minutes three times. I kept getting the code for the safe wrong. So I kept getting the same scenes, the same questions and I had to choose the answer I hadn't given yet so actually the filmmakers give you the illussion of free will but push you in the right direction. Just like they say in the movie ... but it gets boring seeing the same scenes over and over ...

I watched Montage of Heck last night. Second time watching it after seeing it when it was released.
Cobain really struggled with that instant adulation didn't he. I think his complaints about his stomach pain were not due to his drug taking, at least not initially. How he lived was not any help but I get the feeling the problem was there anyway.
Also Courtney does not have very nice looking boobs, no matter how often she likes to show them.
