I don’t think anyone’s mentioned Dogtooth. Brilliant movie. Greek. But brutal.

I can’t think of any movie more relevant to the current times.

About the collective versus the individual. And what the collective deems fit for the individual.

Early on, the main character thinks she is so informed, and debates issues with her brother.

But then, the family (which, I think, represents the collective) changes its state toward her, and traumatic revelations ensue.

Horrible horrible movie. But unforgettable.

How do you find freedom, when everything you’ve ever been taught is a lie?

Dogtooth - One of the best films I've ever seen. Yes the subject matter is horrid but it's a cinematic masterpiece.

For me, it's the McChicken. The best fast food sandwich. I even ask for extra McChicken sauce packets and the staff is so friendly and more than willing to oblige.

One time I asked for McChicken sauce packets and they gave me three. I said, "Wow, three for free!" and the nice friendly McDonald's worker laughed and said, "I'm going to call you 3-for-free!".

Now the staff greets me with "hey it's 3-for-free!" and ALWAYS give me three packets. It's such a fun and cool atmosphere at my local McDonald's restaurant, I go there at least 3 times a week for lunch and a large iced coffee with milk instead of cream, 1-2 times for breakfast on the weekend, and maybe once for dinner when I'm in a rush but want a great meal that is affordable, fast, and can match my daily nutritional needs.

I even dip my fries in McChicken sauce, it's delicious! What a great restaurant.

Dallas Buyers Club (2013) ⭐ 7.9 | Biography, Drama

1h 57m | R

www.imdb.com

I just read a review about this movie parallelling the AIDS with more recent pandemics, seems very interesting

Spoiler: Very detailed movie review

Don't watch 'Dallas Buyers Club'

The film is a glamorization of science denialism, encourages conspiracy theories and creates problems for society.

"An inventor spurns his city life and moves his family into the jungles of Central America to make a utopia."

Great movie, kind of Peaty in a way.

Well Samurai, let's beef it up! Japanese Cult Classic - the trio of "Hanzo The Razor" . WARNING - Not for the timid, bizarre sex n slashing swords (not too bloody actually). Shows the Edo period decline, and the wacky world this honest policeman must navigate to get justice done.
