What.
What?
I don't get it.
So?
I don't get it.
At least give it a rating.
But I don't get it.
Was it good?
Yes.
Would you recommend it?
I don't know.
How does that work?
I don't know.
What?
What?
Just give it 2 1/2 or something.
I can't.
Why?
Because it's good.
Then what's the issue?
I don't know.
For fuck's sake.
I don't understand it. It confused me.
Just your plebian mind.
Fuck you.
Fuck you.

Yep.
So why are we doing it?
Only thing we could think of.
Oh yeah.
Also we're attention whores who like likes.
That's true.
Want pizza?

Never in a million years did I think a movie that would make me contemplate my existence would also have Darude - Sandstorm in it.
(aka The Woman Who Fell to Earth aka Post Tenebras Fucks): absolutely epic. the rare film that feels genuinely new, even while borrowing liberally from its influences. among other things, one of the cinema's most deeply empathetic portraits of loneliness.
yeeahhhhh i'm way too dumb to understand films like this so i'm gonna go watch a seth rogen movie

Anatomy of a Woman. First half is one of the greatest films in existence - composed entirely of observation, detached seduction, process, and an inaccessible yearning for empathy. That Glazer goes down the route of a discovery of appreciation for humanity - for their values, for their glimpses of kindness - only to abruptly switch and paint a fearful, violated portrait in which the interior doesn't even matter is bold to a point where I can't fully get behind it. Still, a marvel in every sense. There are images and sounds here that echo towards the cinematic heavens.
ScarJo cruisin' the hills of Scotland and channeling her inner Natasha Henstridge in Jonathan Glazer's incredibly unique one-of-a-kind viewing experience. Motorcycle zoom zoom. ScarJo naked? Hooker high heels. Ants. The way ScarJo looks in her jeans. Red lipstick makes you more fuckable. Minivan cruisin'. Disorganized directions. You should always buckle up for safety. Lonely guy. Chatty chap. Seductive strip. Disappearing wang. Ocean waves. Wetsuit chum. Lifesaver. ScarJo's jacket. Getting hit in the head with a rock fuckin' hurts. Crying baby. Clubbin' for some lovin'. Leprechaun sounding gent. Sexy backwards walk. Weird as fuck faces. Sideways cock. Fade to what the fuckin' fuck fuck fuckin'? Red rose. ScarJo's eyes. Smart dude. Face first fall. Attack the Block rejects. Hoodie man is…
How do you even rate a film when you sort of loved almost everything about it yet in the end have no concrete idea of what it was all about? It is quite rare in films to find yourself constantly struggling with your very own emotions, unsure of which opinion to settle with, for whenever a step is taken in either direction, something from the opposite end of the spectrum keeps bringing you back in the middle.
Under the Skin is one film that offers such unique experience. It is a mystical blend of horror, sci-fi & mystery that's easily one of the most perplexing, challenging & polarising narratives to come out in years and tells the story of a mysterious woman…
Scarlett Johansson stars an alien who's like "I got yer male gaze right HERE buddy."
I joke because I'm terrified beyond the capacity for rational thought.
Definitely one of the most audacious, visually stunning and touching films in recent years! Scarlett Johansson gives an outstanding performance here and it’s great to see her doing more alternative roles again. I wasn’t familiar with Jonathan Glazer’s work but I was instantly captivated by the unique story, the extravagant visuals and haunting score. Under the Skin is not only a very compelling drama that examines an emotionless alien who gradually starts to perceive how it feels to be human, but it’s also filled with several enigmatic figures throughout this journey which will make you ponder about them long after seeing the movie. In addition, there were a couple of disturbing moments and one in particular which actually made me…
