Also WOLFEN is really interesting. Beautiful photography and great use of locations, good acting, lots of ideas... the rough cut was 4 hours long, which defies explanation (but man I wish a copy would surface).

EBBINGTON (2025) - OK, one of my students who has generally good taste in films recommended this, so I went in with high hopes. They were slowly, remorselessly crushed for the next two hours.   This was one of those movies whose internal logic was so vague and the plot so meandering that I rarely had any clue what was going on.  Set at the height of the COVID pandemic, a sheriff who is angry at mask mandates decided to run against the mayor who is enforcing them.  Then he gets mad and shoots the mayor, and tries to pin it on BLM protestors. Then someone is chasing and shooting at the sheriff. COVID conspiracy theories are spouted by a different character every few minutes.  The conclusion is . . . well, so bizarre I'm still scratching my head as to exactly what this movie was about.  Either it was so subtly brilliant it's just beyond my grasp, or else it's an incomprehensible train wreck that stole two hours of my life. Either way, I think I would rather have watched NUREMBURG again.  2/5

John Waters hates you. He named EDDINGTON best movie of 2025: "My favorite movie of the year is a disagreeable but highly entertaining tale as exhausting as today's politics with characters nobody could possibly root for. Yet it's so terrifyingly funny, so confusingly chaste and kinky that you'll feel coo-coo crazy and oh-so-cultural after watching. If you don't like this film, I hate you." Personally, I liked EDDINGTON, but not nearly as much as Waters (whose year-end top 10 list sometimes reads like a put-on).

I don't hate anyone for not liking EDDINGTON, but otherwise I really vibe with Waters' take on it. Maybe we should start a "Waters Best Of" thread since we have one for Tarantino.

Yep. It was his top film of the year for 2009. Maybe Diablo Cody finally told him to back off, so she's off the list.

Rules confuse and vex me so much. I deal w/ enough of 'em through work... thus "games" that involve rules have always similarly flummoxed me. I generally need cheat codes for most video games.  I see similar tendencies in ASD kids I work with or know. My niece has never played a board game by the rules in her twelve-year life. She simply won't stand for it...

Anyway, I will keep cheering you on from the sidelines.........
