The Last Movie You Watched
|
I've heard other people say that Alita: Battle Angel is good. I can't get over the premise of a CGI character with anime-sized eyes. It's a barrier.

Not a movie, but a series on Netflix I've grown to love; 'Star Trek '; Discovery.' Set roughly a decade before James Tiberius Kirk et al. The last episode(S2 E8) has a young Spock, and his adoptive human sister, Michael Burnham, (really) who is a major character.
Watching it really makes Next Generation seem quite puerile. This is Star Trek for grown ups. Puts me in mind of the remake of "Battle Star Galactica", my favourite sci fi series; the characters are well written ,and very real. The series has just been renewed for another season.

Those characters were imagined as different and more civilized than us, like we would be different to cavemen, while these new characters are like today's modern people and that's why this show looks less convincing to me than TNG or Voyager. Also, I didn't like the last episode because, for starters, Section 31 failed to make any sense: both Section 31 and Pike wanted Spock and what does he know about Red Angel, but the difference is that Section 31 wanted to torture him to get the info while Pike just spoke to him for few seconds and got to know everything there is to know. So in the end Starfleet got what it wanted. Also Section 31 was only featured in DS9 where it was a joke but here it's making Pike crap his panties. If he had any balls, like Picard or Kirk, he would have blasted their ship with torpedoes back to Stupidistan where it came from, and then if Starfleet gives him any qualms about it, resign for them even to allow such criminal organization to exist - you see this is again that archaic mentality I was talking about?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

First ten movies. Got Boss Lady's set at Wally World. 
Just watched Don't Knock Twice on Netflix.
Pretty decent horror film I'd give it a 7/10.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.

No, don't think I have. I have got a set pf movies, but forget about which series. I'll check it out.

'Get Low' with Robert Duvall, Sissy Spacek, and Bill Murray. An absolute gem of a film about a Tennessee hermit who, after living alone for 40 years, decides to throw a funeral party for himself while he's still alive. Felix Bush (Duvall) opts for the funeral where he will encourage people to tell the stories they've heard about him, mainly because he wants a forum to tell his own story, expiating the guilty he's carried around with him for 40 years (no, no spoilers).
There is nothing about this film that isn't good, but the best thing is - naturally - Robert Duvall, who gives an exquisitely understated performance. 10/10. Boru
