Drugs are bad!

Breaking bad?

I would never make meth and sell it!

I would get cyanide pills and sell it as meth...

I found the concept of a guy who ruins thousands of lives to make things better for one family to be unappealing.

I broke my potato peeler.

Now it's unapeeling, too.

That's just...no.  I mean, there's...why would you...

Because if I don't let my weird humour out I'll end up killing myself.

I never have that problem. Because I never hesitate. Boss Lady's jaw occasionally bounces off the floor, but that's entertaining too.

Rise of skywalker.

I was entertained, but I could have just sat there and picked holes in it. So many bad story devices plot holes and bad pacing.

Not the best star wars film and I always wondered how a scavenger brought up in a desert wasteland was able to go to a british finishing school. That accent was sooo posh.

Not to mention the fact that she was free and independent on a rather barbaric planet. Females are all too often commodity on Earth.

Welp, I’m on the last movie in my Stanley Kubrick Film Festival, Eyes Wide Shut.

My hypothesis on the masked orgy scene: aside from Ziegler, Nick, and Bill, nobody else in the previous scenes was there. The lady who sacrificed herself wasn’t Mandy or Domino (FWIW, the actress who played her is neither Julienne Davis nor Vinessa Shaw, but Abigail Goode.) While the fact that she used his name implies she knows him, bear in mind,  Ziegler was there and he’s a friend of Bill’s. Perhaps he blew the whistle on him. He’s probably not telling the whole truth with his big speech at the end, naturally, because it’s just too convenient, wrapping everything all up in a bow just enough that Bill can stop snooping around. And, honestly, if anyone else in the film was involved, something tells me that this would just be too convenient. I don’t think this is a puzzle that can be solved from everything the film gives us up to that point. And I don’t think Kubrick wanted it to be, if only because the conspiracy is ultimately secondary to the major themes of love, sex, and honesty. If it just seems like a cop-out, think of all the mysterious things you’ve seen in your life, all the mysteries that you never got an answer to. It’s so tempting to immerse yourself in these mysteries, but, as exciting and intriguing as they may be, they can’t be the main focus in your life. There’s other things more important, like this:





Also, this shot cracks me up:


It’s just so on the nose, coming moments after he finds out the hooker he screwed the night before tested positive for HIV and the day after escaping from the orgy with his life.

I was on the west coast for a work conference some years back and we had a bad weather night.  I was looking for something to watch and this movie was available on pay-per-view...one of the biggest wastes of money ever.  It was simply difficult to watch but since I had paid for it I felt like I had to sit through it.  UGH!  I think I'd have been more entertained standing out on the PCH in the wind and the rain.
