Television / Re: Stranger Things. Season 5.
Last post by M.10rda - April 13, 2026, 08:29:22 AMThe 11 "resolution" is lifted directly from Frank Miller's DAREDEVIL Issue #190. Ah well, steal from the best.
I agree that the action undelivered but oddly the final 25 minutes of sentimental goodbyes was my favorite part of the season. I'm not a big fan of lengthy, laborious "sentimental goodbyes" at the end of high-conflict fantasy/action/adventure et al, but somehow the Duffers handled it well. (I wasn't going to be at all happy if Steve or Dustin or Max sacrificed themselves so I can't complain about their lengthy send-offs.)
A recreation of a conversation with my brother-in-law:
BRENT: It just went on forever. Just everyone being sad and saying goodbye to each other. Way too long.
ME: I get your point... similar issue to the end of the last LORD OF THE RINGS movie... forty-five minutes of unnecessary tearful homoerotic gazing...
BRENT: (Baffled look.) What are you talking about? That was awesome!

Last post by M.10rda - April 13, 2026, 07:14:51 AMJOURNEY TO THE FAR SIDE OF THE SUN isn't very good... there are interesting moments but it definitely isn't a horror movie. ALIEN COVENANT, whatever its faults, wouldn't have been improved by an Anderson/Parrish version!

Good Movies / Re: Recent Viewings, Part 2
Last post by Dr. Whom - April 13, 2026, 01:23:10 AMThe Capsule (2012)
Six girls arrive in bizarre ways at a convent-like institution where they are trained by a seventh, who may or may not be a vampire
It turns the bizarre and the weird up to eleven from the first minute, in a way that reminded me Lanthimos. Turns out that Athina Tsangari who directed this one, was also co-producer on a couple of Lanthimos's early movies. However, there is no plot or even characters I could discern, so you are left with a series of highly intriguing vignettes where stuff just happens. There is also awkward dancing. Maybe there is some underlying symbolism, but that escapes me. Still, at only 35 minutes, it is over before it becomes boring or grating.
