Looks like I'm the only one with Copilot's AI-Generated label.

No, I now have it too, I just posted an image generated last week.

I just noticed it on a poster I made yesterday..

I don't like it on the poster, it's too distracting

That's a great movie - I think TAXI DRIVER came first. And Scott Jacoby is her buddy trapped in the friendzone, right? He does look a bit like Matthew Modine.

The Little Girl Who Lives Down The Lane (1977) - I recently read all the recent viewings reviews in both the old and the new threads. When I finished...I started over again and this was one from the second round, or maybe I didn't go back far enough the first time. At any rate, it was my own review and I liked it more this time. It's generally a "creepy kid" horror like Devil Times 5 or The Omen, but much more of a drama and the evil is more debatable (maybe just "quite resourceful kid"? )

Jodie Foster, Martin Sheen, and Matthew Modine lend their talents to this low budget, (mostly takes place in the living room of a house) dank, and unpredictable tale of a young (Jewish?) girl and her struggle to survive in some random town while being bothered by adults who want her to do stuff like attend school. It's hard to have an interesting movie that takes place just in a living room, so some fairly jaw dropping stuff happens, aided by the excellent acting talent.

Jodie Foster is somehow always obviously a lesbian, but so enigmatic and brainiac seeming that it somehow doesn't matter. She would, of course, reach a much bigger audience in Taxi Driver soon after this.

4.5 / 5

1917 - This magnificent war movie carries the date in its title.

SUMALA (2024) - My daughter spotted this Indonesian horror flick in her feed and we watched it together last night.  Gory, dark, and breaking some of the rules of American horror, this was a pretty wild film!  Quick synopsis: the wife of an ambitions Indonesian businessman has failed to give him an heir after 11 years of marriage, so he puts her on notice: One more year, and if she does not get pregnant, he will divorce her.  So she goes to the local witch doctor and cuts a deal with the devil: She will bear twins, one of whom will be a child of light, the other a child of evil.  She must raise them both to maturity, and on their tenth birthday the devil will claim his own and leave them with the good child. 
   But when she brings the twins into the world, one of them looks normal; the other is grossly deformed - SO HER HUSBAND KILLS IT!  As a result, the good child - Kumala - grows up twisted, crippled, and mentally disabled.  Her father scorns her, her mother ignores her, the village children taunt her, and her only friend is her imaginary twin sister, Sumala. Who, it turns out, is not imaginary at all. . . .

Dark and twisted, this one was a fun watch if you have a strong stomach. 4/5

This movie seems to have a reputation that it doesn't really deserve.  It's "the slasher Phantom of the Opera," and while it does have more blood and some nastier effects than you tend to expect fro a Phantom movie, it never quite reaches slasher territory.  That's not to say it's from lack of effort though.  This movie gives the impression that took the cast and crew from an 80s slasher film and gave them the costume, set, and scripts from a Hammer horror film.  It's an odd mix that never quite gels together.

*Whatever you do, don't fall for the American Werewolf in Paris scheme. Or scam. Get really drunk or trying smoking that tiny bit of Weed that you have left and find more words to didgeridoo with on youtube! Words mangled stuff. But don't go down some stupid rabbit trail with Australian mysticism and dream time crap. Let those doofuses debunk themselves naturally. As it appears to be happening. Maybe watch Crocodile Dundee II, but recommended with lots of weed (which I know you don't have. Also the same speech goes for Deep Star Six. Recommended but only with weed..Uh your call. Try to do the get drunk method with the youtube words or terms, mangled words stuff that you liked to do. DON'T watch American Werewolf in Paris. And perhaps you are done too with Resident evil. Remember Peter Evan's speech about Leviticus. Don't be like Nadab and Abihu.

Remember. If you run out of time then you run out of time. No biggie. Just watch JD vance make a fool out of himself on his next speaking engagement or appearance wherever. Like sanctification. How many darn times do we have to see some worm or worm-like thing roll up into a ball.)
