The new War Machine on Netflix (yes, they have made more than one) is a serviceable Alien attack movie. Too heavy on the pro-military propaganda but that's to be expected.

Agreed. Not recommending it, but a perfectly adequate background movie to keep an eye on as you play on your phone.

If I Had Legs I'd Kick You - 8/10, pretty good if you're into anxiety inducing movies. "The uncut gems for mothers"

Saw Solo Mio with Doug Heffernan at the cheap theater yesterday. OMFG. What a heap of sht that movie was. Within three minutes I knew I was fkd. Me in the theater with a bunch of boomers. Kill me.

So VERY early in the movie he's on a plane and has his carry-on in the overhead bin. He has to get it out and it's kind of stuck, so he's reefing on it. Pull, pull, pull...COMES LOOSE and smokes the guy behind him. The boomers erupt in laughter. My seething hatred boils over. These fking people have the worst senses of humour.

And that was the best joke/gag in the whole movie.

How does garbage like this get made?? It's insane.

This was a great recommendation Watched Escape from New York over the weekend, awesome movie. I'd say I liked The Thing more but this movie was still really really good. Loved the cyberpunk vibes. Kurt Russell is so ####in cool as Snake. John Carpenter + Kurt Russell is an awesome combo.

"Big Trouble in Little China" added to my watchlist to continue the Carpenter/Russell saga.
