#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Disclosure Day is a pulpy, outdated mess. It has the weakest script out of all four of these, and one of them was a non-narrative film. It's the worst film to look at out of all four, and one of them mostly consists of staring at still images of concrete.
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Finally got around to watching some Louis Theroux docs. I've got a few more coming up on my watchlist. Interesting chap, has a cast-iron stomach.
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Matt Johnson is an underrated filmmaker. The Furious is almost as good as The Raid.
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched This year's shaping up to be a strong one for mid-budget movies.
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched NTBTSTM is the best comedy film made in this decade. What an achievement. The Dark Wizard is a fascinating four-part documentary mini series. All in all a great week, no complaints.
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Two of these were long overdue but worth the wait.
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched I felt like some Baumbach this week. He's usually a very easy watch for me.
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched I like short and straight to the point titles.
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Everyone's favorite four-quadrant flick of the year. Two solid Damian McCarthy films before seeing Hokum. A rare miss by David Lowery.
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched It's very hard to recommend DTF St. Louis to a general audience, but I'm glad Steve Conrad is back. The rest, I could take or leave.
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Any good cinematic diet needs a little bit of schlock and a little bit of schmaltz.
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Finishing off the last few stragglers from the award season.
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched What a week. Three of the best films I've seen in over a year. Only one fell short of expectations, although I have had trouble connecting with Joachim Trier's work before. Might give that one a rewatch in the near future.
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched I really shouldn't make a habit of this, but here's another week with a clear theme. Can you guess what it is?
#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched Went for a bit of a theme this time.
Nobody on this list really surprises me, except for Bill Burr. I feel like he lost the right to take a principled stance against grifters and "get the bag first" comedians. Mark Normand had huge potential in a world deprived of Norm Macdonald, but the guy just keeps questionable company.
None of this is John Scofield, it's all AI-generated background noise.
I didn't even know it was a popular tattoo idea. I like it though. Looks like this:
Thank you Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. for telling me billionaires are bad. If not for your focus-grouped and board-approved cinematic masterpiece, I would've never figured it out myself.
Yeah, Mark's a bit of a curmudgeon. I don't imagine he'd be easy to work with. He makes Eric Clapton pull rhythm guitar duty. A quick search led me to this:
