THE LONG WALK (2025)  This is an adaptation of Stephen King's novel of the same title, originally one of the "Bachman Books" that he published under the pseudonym Richard Bachman. It's a dystopian novel of the USA following some future war, where a military leader simply known as "the Major" has seized control of the government.  Every year, each state sends one young man to participate in The Long Walk, in which they are forced to walk for days on end, maintaining a steady pace of 3 mph.  Any time they drop below the required speed, they get a warning. After three warnings, they are shot.  The movie follows the walk from beginning to end, as the boys form friendships and then, one by one, are eliminated.  It's a bleak, ugly film that follows the storyline of the book pretty well.  Well acted, but not a lot of action since the entire movie is a bunch of young men walking across the country.  3.5/5

Quote from: M.10rda on July 27, 2026, 05:41:51 AMIf by "universe" we mean simply "genre", then all of these are fine.

I think it's a bit more nuanced than 'genre'. more like some trend that exists almost covertly, within a certain genre... something that you would never find a section for in Blockbuster, but is still prevalent enough to be a thing. (?)


Quote from: M.10rda on July 27, 2026, 05:41:51 AMI cringe to admit I never watched MOTHER OF TEARS, so I'll trust you on that.

I have watched it twice and genuinely have no recollection of a single thing about it.

- and I only watched it TWICE because of this exact reason  :bouncegiggle:

The film was funny enough as it was already.

Legs are sore now.  I am not used to standing so long anymore.  Oh well... it'll come back to me.

Trust your mom is doing well 🙂🐢
She's recovering nicely.  Still a bit weak, she was in bed for a long time and had two surgeries... and there is some slight impairment in her speech, but everybody is saying she's recovering wonderfully.  Right now she's in a rehabilitation center to help get her strength back.

☺️☺️💪 Nice to read some good news for a change. ❤️🐢

NUREMBURG (2025) Set in 1946.  Incredible film, snubbed at the Oscars.

Blessedly nerdy kids in my camp were complaining today because they don't call him "Nobody" in this movie. So often these days they are historically/classically underinformed, I was pretty impressed that this was the bone they chose to pick today. Three Mondays ago they were debating whether Taylor Swift had jumped the shark.
