IMPORTANT NOTE: please use a VPN whenever visiting Hextube, or anywhere else on the internet, for that matter. Protect your privacy. For this Friday Movie Night, first up is The Great Beauty (2013), a drama-comedy about a snobbish, pretentious Italian author’s trip through Rome following his 65th birthday, and his realization that life may contain more worth than drinking, drugs, parties, and philandering. What has he done with this life? Existential crises follow, along with some absurdism as he encounters various strange characters. This won a bunch of awards at the time, including the Academy Award for Best Picture, and it is considered one of the best Italian films of the 2010s. Looks neat; let’s watch. This is generally considered to be the best work to date of Italian auteur director Paolo Sorrentino, who is otherwise best-known for Hand of God (2021), which we have not watched. Currently ranked #202 on Letterboxd's [Top 250 films of all time](https://letterboxd.com/dave/list/official-top-250-narrative-feature-films/page/3/). After that is The Wild Robot (2024), the latest animated feature from Dreamworks. It centers on a robot who becomes stranded on a desert island; it find purpose by caring for a baby goose, and the two bond while the goose attempts to reunite with its flock. Director is Chris Sanders, the guy who helmed Lilo & Stitch (2010) and How to Train Your Dragon (2010). Critics are calling this one of Dreamworks’ best films ever, and it is already garnering award buzz. A good-quality camrip is already available, so we will watch it. We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here: https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies Be there, comrades! # Letterboxd: - The Great Beauty: https://letterboxd.com/film/the-great-beauty/ - The Wild Robot: https://letterboxd.com/film/the-wild-robot/ # Doesthedogdie.com links: - The Great Beauty: https://www.doesthedogdie.com/media/40212 - The Wild Robot: https://www.doesthedogdie.com/media/1059280 # CWs for The Great Beauty: - Drug use. - Alcohol abuse. - Cheating. - Cancer. - Suicide. - Sex. - Car crash. - Nudity. - Objectification of female characters. - Blood. - Head trauma. - Profanity. # CWs for The Wild Robot: - Animal abandonment. - Abusive parents. - Deaths of animals. - Decapitation. - Sad animal. - Bugs. - Bullying. - Beatings. - Someone is physically restrained. - Someone struggles to breathe. - Someone is crushed to death. - Amputation. - Unconsciousness. - Finger and toe mutilation. - Suicide. - Death of non-human. - Deaths of family members. - Kidnapping. - Natural bodies of water. - Trypophobia. - Vomiting. - Farting. - Someone is eaten. - Audio gore. - Incarceration. - Underwater scenes. - Screaming. - Flashing lights. - Stillbirth. - Babies. - Death of pregnant character. - Ableism. # Links to movies: - The Great Beauty: https://tankie.tube/w/ppx85wNwLL7iwrJbz6zrS9 - The Wild Robot: https://tankie.tube/w/4ZTU9LwSj9LiZfnEasTxJw

I'm writing this post because it's getting very low ratings. From the reviews that I read, many people say it doesn't meet their expectations of what a superhero movie should be. I'm not a capeshit enjoyer. I chose to see Joker 2 because Joker 1 had vague themes of "defunding welfare programs is bad". In the first movie, Joker loses access to his mental illness medication because the politicians defund the welfare programs and that leads Joker to start doing crimes. What I liked about Joker 2 is that everyone around him wants to make him miserable, but instead he chooses to be happy. In my opinion, it is the most pure example of absurdity. The whole world wants to make Joker miserable and he is powerless to change other people, but he can deny giving the world what they want so he chooses to laugh. I find that to be entertaining. The movie was about 60% musical. Whenever Joker starts to hallucinate, everyone starts singing. I think it was okay, but other people did not like that. You probably won't like the movie if you are expecting it to follow the superhero movie formula.

Personally my favorite part of this is watching Kirsten Dunst visibly dying next to him as he continues talking. Not included in the video sadly but afterward she leans over to him and says "Oh. Oh Lars. That was intense" lmfao Caught at the start of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cxtDpFOBcg

IMPORTANT NOTE: please use a VPN whenever visiting Hextube, or anywhere else on the internet, for that matter. Protect your privacy. For this Special Thursday Cinema Night, 8PM EST, there’s no special theme, just two more good flicks. First up is Inherent Vice (2014), from renowned auteur Paul Thomas Anderson, the guy behind Boogie Nights (1997), Punch-Drunk Love (2002), There Will Be Blood (2007), and The Master (2012), among others. Joaquin Phoenix stars a detective in the 1970s investigating the disappearance of his ex; things get weird from there as the plot takes a backseat to his various encounters with the strange inhabitants of southern California. Apparently it is also something of a comedy. I guess we’ll find out. After that is Welcome or No Trespassing (1964), a farce from Come and See (1985) director Elem Klimov about a group of Soviet children at a youth summer camp who decide to raise some mischief against the camp authorities, a dynamic that increasingly resembles an insurgency against an occupying force. Hilarity ensues. Reviews continually compare this to the works of Wes Anderson. We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here: https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies Be there, comrades! # Letterboxd: - Inherent Vice: https://letterboxd.com/film/inherent-vice/ - Welcome to No Trespassing: https://letterboxd.com/film/welcome-or-no-trespassing/ # Doesthedogdie.com links: - Inherent Vice: https://www.doesthedogdie.com/media/10083 - Welcome or No Trespassing: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058022/parentalguide/?ref_=tt_stry_pg # CWs for Inherent Vice: - Drug use. - Drug addiction. - Cheating. - Mental institution scene. - Antisemitism. - Sex. - Blood and gore. - Gun violence. # CWs for Welcome or No Trespassing: - Nudity. - Profanity. - Smoking. - Alcohol. - Slapstick violence. # Links to movies: - Inherent Vice: https://tankie.tube/w/sjZxMHYnYBgxaaX9aCZsQV - Welcome or No Trespassing: https://tankie.tube/w/iFMoeDSQfumagQMJ6n74JK

IMPORTANT NOTE: please use a VPN whenever visiting Hextube, or anywhere else on the internet, for that matter. Protect your privacy. For this Wednesday Super Slop Night, first up is Watari the Ninja Boy (1966), an adaptation of a manga about a kid ninja who infiltrates an evil clan to take out some bad guys. A whole lot of cartoonish antics follow, along with sword fights, musical numbers, and animated sequences. This is the sort of movie that seems to have been written by a ten-year-old. Looks fun; let’s check it out. After that is Death Becomes Her, a fantasy-comedy about an aging actress (Goldie Hawn) who decides to take an immortality potion as part of a plan to murder her rival (Meryl Streep) and take back her ex-fiance (Bruce Willis). Unfortunately, the potion doesn’t quite work as planned, and things spiral out of control from there. Hilarity ensues. Director is Robert Zemeckis, the guy behind Back to the Future (1985), Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988), and Forrest Gump (1994). As with those, this film was lauded for its groundbreaking special effects, which often cross into a comedic version of body horror. BONUS: we will also watch the 80s action spoof Kung Fury (2015), which was a Youtube sensation back in 2015.

Spoilers? Can you have spoilers about Things That Happened? About the Brabant killers in Belgium. Considering the opening part of the first episode being "left or right, both sides should come together" the director seemed pretty set on making the Neo-nazi militias the bad guys, and their intelligence agency handlers/government leashholders even worse. Outright there is near no negative socialist imagery they (nazis) call the people they murder communists a few times but considering they're the only ones, you know, doing the murders it's pretty funny. it's not outright positive to the left, but they legitimately bring up the strategy of tension and how this could've (read: this is what the director believes) been a motive for it. In addition to this, their depiction of "cop solidarity" being shown seems to be extremely relevant. Those who have nepo connections rise, those who don't, get in line or get your teeth knocked out. Do not rat on your colleagues or you'll end up beaten or worse. Got a few episodes left, but I'd reccomend it as a watch. Fascinating look at the Gladio-aligned crimes from a relative normie POV.

I can't imagine Vince Vaughn or Jason Schwartzman in the lead role either. But Wahlberg with a lisp would be the worst. > [Donnie Darko](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donnie_Darko#Development) > > Early on Vince Vaughn was offered the role of Donnie, but he turned it down as he felt he was too old for the part. Mark Wahlberg was also approached, but he insisted that he should play Donnie with a lisp. [...] Development progressed in early 2000, when actor Jason Schwartzman expressed an interest in the script and agreed to play as Donnie. Kelly said this moment "legitimized me as a director" and recalled "all of a sudden people came out of the woodwork, it was alive again".

IMPORTANT NOTE: please use a VPN whenever visiting Hextube, or anywhere else on the internet, for that matter. Protect your privacy. For this Sunday Kino Night, first up is Bound for the Fields, the Mountains, and the Seacoast (1986), a WW2 melodrama-comedy-coming-of-age story from renowned Japanese auteur Nobuhiko Obayashi, the guy best-known for House (1977); we have also previously watched Miss Lonely (1985), His Motorbike Her Island (1986), and The Rocking Horsemen (1992). All were good, so we’re returning to the well once again. This one is about a schoolboy growing up in Japan in the late 1930s as the country falls further and further into a nationalistic frenzy. He learns that a girl he knows is abot to be sold into sex work to pay heer dad’s debts, and so, he teams up with some other kids to help her out. A whole lot of over-the-top antics follow, with Obayashi’s usual comic-bookish aesthetic. “Live-action anime” is a common refrain in reviews which are excellent across the board. Next is Night and the City (1950), a British film-noir about a destitute petty thief who can’t do anything right, and has been reduced to mooching off his girlfriend. Suddenly, he discovers an opportunity to hit the big money as a wrestling promoter, and goes all-in attempting to restore his dignity. I’m sure this will end happily. Director is Jules Dassin, who is otherwise best-known for the French heist thriller Rififi (1955), which we previously watched. This is considered one of the best noirs of the 1950s, so let’s give it a whirl. We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here: https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies Be there, comrades! # Letterboxd: - Bound for the Fields, the Mountains, and the Seacoast: https://letterboxd.com/film/bound-for-the-fields-the-mountains-and-the-seacoast/ - Night and the City: https://letterboxd.com/film/night-and-the-city/ # Doesthedogdie.com links: - Bound for the Fields, the Mountains, and the Seacoast: Sorry, nothing on DTDD or IMDB. - Night and the City: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042788/parentalguide/?ref_=tt_ov_at_stry_4 # CWs for Bound for the Fields, the Mountains, and the Seacoast: - Implied sex work. - Fistfighting. - Slapstick violence. - Misogyny. - Objectification of female characters. - Fascism. - Indoctrination of children. - Bullying. # CWs for Night and the City: - Wrestling. - Slapping. - Misogyny. - Fistfighting. - Smoking. - Alcohol. - Suicide. - Strangulation. # Links to movies: - Bound for the Fields, the Mountains, and the Seacoast: https://tankie.tube/w/5NqiKzAKMon1T4KYUD6kc6 - Night and the City: https://tankie.tube/w/cZ3ejEHm277bCVnnxpehR1

IMPORTANT NOTE: please use a VPN whenever visiting Hextube, or anywhere else on the internet, for that matter. Protect your privacy. For this Friday Movie Night, first up is The Substance (2024), a feminist body horror starrig Demi Moore as a fading Holywood star who decides to use a strange new drug that induces shapeshifting, to create a younger version of herself. What could possibly go wrong? Comparisons to The Thing (1982) and The Fly (1986) are common. Director is Coralie Fargeat, who is otherwise best-known for the similarly-themed Revenge (2017), which we have not watched; this is her best-regarded film to date, and has already been receiving some awards buzz. An excellent camrip is already available, so we’ll check it out. After that is Drifting Clouds (1996), a romantic dramedy from Aki Kourismaki, the most renowned filmmaker from the bleak, icy wasteland known as Finland. A married couple find themselves both out of work when a recession hits Helsinki; they must both do whatever they can to earn money. Darkly humorous antics follow, in typically Nordic deadpan style. God damn capitalism. This is the highest-rated Finnish film on Letterboxd, and will be the first Finnish film ever shown on Hextube.

Most of these movies are called psychological movies, but searching under this category I have not found anything that comes close to what I am looking for, movies like memento, 12 monkeys and primer are characterized by something, a person who knows information (Be good or bad), and is in a situation isolated from the rest of the population, no one other than the protagonist or a very small group of people knows what is happening and what it implies, that is the type of movies I am looking for, movies with isolated stories, if you know of any movie that makes you feel that I don't know what it is with the 3 movies I mentioned, please leave me the name and synopsis. (I had forgotten to mention donnie darko)

I'll start with "PCU." The one upside is that the main villain is played by the lady who also played ![how-much-could-it-cost](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/f011d631-fb16-4ba8-bee4-b811878ae844.png "emoji how-much-could-it-cost") and she's amazing as she always was even while playing a terrible role in an enlightened centrist pop-nihilist propaganda film. The rest of it is steaming smug-seasoned "caring about things makes you stupid" ideology. And I mean pretty much *anything* that might matter to disadvantaged people or the planet they live on. Wildlife conservation? Stupid. (tear down those flyers, yeah *fuck* non-human life forms!) Veganism? Stupid. (better bully them until they cry!) Black activism? Stupid. (lol look they're chasing the clueless white boy with vaguely lynch-themed cinematics WHAT IF WE REVERSED THE VICTIM AND PERPETRATOR?!) Feminism? Stupid. (they just need to get laid lololololololol) ![how-much-could-it-cost](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/f011d631-fb16-4ba8-bee4-b811878ae844.png "emoji how-much-could-it-cost") is *politically correct* and has two hyphenated last names? Some rich white assholes firing her is seen as the *happy ending!* All of those silly people that care too much about things just have a le epic drunk party at the end and that washes away all their concerns about the world like so many lotuses eaten by so many lotus eaters. *They touched grass!* ![smuglord](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/97a4a756-428f-4517-846a-1c810805ad28.png "emoji smuglord") Fuck that movie so much. All the chuds in my immediate biological family *loved it,* of course.

IMPORTANT NOTE: please use a VPN whenever visiting Hextube, or anywhere else on the internet, for that matter. Protect your privacy. For this Special Thursday Cinema Night, 8PM EST, there’s no special theme, just two more good flicks. First up is The Look of Silence (2015), the sequel to the highly-acclaimed Indonesian death-squad documentary The Act of Killing (2012), and directed again by Joshua Oppenheimer. Unlike its predecessor, which follows the death-squad members, this one focuses on their victims, bringing their family members into contact with the people who killed their friends, children, and relatives. Drama ensues. Highly-acclaimed, just like the previous film, so let’s give it a whirl. After that is Coffee & Cigarettes (2003), an eleven-part anthology from Jim Jarmusch featuring various humorous vignettes involving people talking while smoking and drinking coffee.
