Tenet - 2020. From the creator of Interstellar. And this time he went overdrive with drugs, because his movie is the first that didn't made sense at all.

Next time I watch it, I'll have to be drunk or high.  Perhaps it will make more sense then?

‘Hunt For The Wilderpeople’ (2016), another absolute gem of a film from Taika Waititi. A troubled 13 year old runs away from his latest set of foster parents and gets lost in the bush. His foster ‘uncle’ goes after him, sparking a six-months long manhunt for the pair.

From the description you wouldn’t think it, but this is a charmingly sweet and very funny film (Waititi gives himself a hilarious cameo as a preacher). Sam Neil is absolutely terrific as the uncle, and the rest of the cast, who I imagine will be largely unknown to American audiences, are outstanding. Very few directors working today tell a story as well as Waititi.

9/10.

I actually liked the Battleship movie ... in a sledgehammer to the face kinda way.

The last movie I watched in the theatre was Star Wars: Episode IX--The Rise of Skywalker. Other than that, I have been watching Roku and Netflix series and movies: The Last Kingdom, Lost in Space (new), Castlevania, Full Metal Alchemist:Brotherhood, Kung Fu Hustle, Bleach, etc.

So, this week in the Deep Hurting Project is the Netflix Original Pets United. So, for what it's worth, it's the bizarre mix between The Secret Life of Pets and Robots that's apparently a remake/sequel of a movie called Animals United (made a decade earlier by the same director) that's loosely based on a novel by Erich Kästner of Emil and the Detectives and The Parent Trap fame. Somehow, this got made and put on Netflix.

• So, for what it's worth, can I ask why humans would move to a place called Robo Town? And it's not like these are maintenance workers; one of the characters belongs to a fashion model.
  
• That barely looks like a spider. 
  
• Is that a Red Panda? Speaking in an Irish accent? And why is it even a pet in the first place?
  
• Of course the robot cop is dumb enough to fall for its own plunger dart gun.  Of course.
  
• What the fucking Christ is that? A pig with bunny ears and a pomeranian's color scheme.
  
• And the mayor of Robo Town is expelling the human race from its borders and is announcing his plan to commit what I think amounts to ethnic cleansing on live TV.
  
• And the town's freaking out at the robotic spiders before they have a chance to do anything.
  
• You know what might have made a better movie than repeatedly saying the proboscis monkey is sensitive about the size of his hooter? Actually demonstrating it in one scene. And once they decide to actually show this, it's the lowest-effort fight scene I've ever heard in a movie.
  
• Why are we spending a minute plus on trying to get a Komodo Dragon to say "salad diet and peppermint?"
  
• This is probably the worst song I've ever heard of in a movie:
  
• And why is the marmoset the one responsible for all this exposition?
  
• There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
  And swallows calling with their shimmering sound;
  
  And frogs in the pools singing at night,
  And wild plum-trees in tremulous white;
  
  Robins will wear their feathery fire
  Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
  
  And not one will know of the war, not one
  Will care at last when it is done.
  
  Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree
  If mankind perished utterly;
  
  And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,
  Would scarcely know that we were gone.
  
• And surprisingly, the pets all know how to work the things at the abandoned mall.
  
• And why do the toy dino-bots have a direct line to the baddie? And why can it be so handily distracted by a fucking ball? 
  
• "I have no clue what's going on-" Maybe doing this while still recovering from a septoplasty was a bad idea.
  
• And of course Roger used to belong to the mastermind of Robo City. Of course.
