“This is not something that any of us should want to justify,” said Mayor Lovely Warren, who ordered an investigation. Police Union: "Hold my beer.'

Prisoners of the Ghostland - In the treacherous frontier city of Samurai Town, a ruthless bank robber (Nicolas Cage) is sprung from jail by wealthy warlord The Governor (Bill Moseley), whose adopted granddaughter Bernice (Sofia Boutella) has gone missing. The Governor offers the prisoner his freedom in exchange for retrieving the runaway. Strapped into a leather suit that will self-destruct within five days, the bandit sets off on a journey to find the young woman—and his own path to redemption. If you like the arc that Cage's career has taken of late with Mandy and The Color Out of Space then you'll dig this. Completely batshit nuts.

It's the "I'm doing keto!" of cities.

In the Earth - Very trippy horror movie about a pandemic made during our pandemic. Does not pull any punches as far as gore is concerned. Mayday - Feminist Wizard of Oz.

John and the Hole - Home Alone as told by Yorgos Lanthimos.

Coming Home in the Dark. This is one of those movies that is less something you watch and more something that happens to you. Not a fun movie to watch, but it's absolutely brilliant filmmaking. Definitely worth checking out. I would recommend going in totally blind.

Eight for Silver - In the late 1800s, a man arrives in a remote country village to investigate an attack by a wild animal but discovers a much deeper and sinister force that has the manor and its townspeople in its grip. Nice entry in the "gothic werewolf movie" genre. Nothing groundbreaking but it hits all the right notes.

Knocking - A woman leaves a psychiatric ward after a nervous breakdown, only to start hearing mysterious knocking sounds in her apartment. Lame. You can make your horror movie be about "the importance of listening to women" or whatever just as long as you don't forget to make it scary.

Prime Time - In 1999 Sebastian locks himself in a TV studio. He has two hostages, a gun, and an important message for the world. Didn't succeed as a thriller. Didn't succeed on its ideas. Meh.

Move over, Watergate! It's The Great Circle Back Controversy of 2021!

Mother Schmuckers: Issachar and Zabulon, two brothers in their twenties, are supremely stupid and never bored, as madness is part of their daily lives. When they lose their mother's beloved dog, they have 24 hours to find it - or she will kick them out. John Waters has nothing on the dudes who made this. Shit eating. Necrophelia. Animal-related mishaps. A dance number. This movie has it all. I am a changed man.

Strawberry Mansion - In a future where the government records dreams and taxes them, a dream auditor gets caught up in the dreams of an aging eccentric. Complete acid trip of a movie. A fairy tale that could have been made by Terry Gilliam and a kinder, gentler version of David Lynch. Loved it.

I know that when I was a low level intern coder that I lost count of the number of discussions between the C-suite where I interned and the president that I was privy to.

How It Ends (2021) - "On the day an asteroid is scheduled to obliterate Earth, freewheeling Liza (Zoe Lister-Jones) scores an invite to one last wild gathering before it all goes down. Making it to the party won’t be easy, though, after her car is unceremoniously stolen, and the clock is ticking on her plan to tie up loose ends with friends and family. With a little help from her whimsical younger self (Cailee Spaeny), Liza embarks on a journey by foot across Los Angeles as she seeks to make peace with her regrets—and find the right company for those last few hours. Millennial navel gazing. Not terrible but I would say skip it.

On Dangerous Ground. Ida Lupino and Robert Ryan. Score by Bernard Hermann. And yeah.. In a Lonely Place slams and goes hard in the paint. Underrated Bogart.

I’m still waiting for the storm! Where is it Tom?

Anyone else getting in on HCMC?

1. It's stupid 2. But who cares?

Doing the online Sundance thing this year. Movie #1 - Censor. [quote] Film censor Enid takes pride in her meticulous work, guarding unsuspecting audiences from the deleterious effects of watching the gore-filled decapitations and eye gougings she pores over. Her sense of duty to protect is amplified by guilt over her inability to recall details of the long-ago disappearance of her sister, recently declared dead in absentia. When Enid is assigned to review a disturbing film from the archive that echoes her hazy childhood memories, she begins to unravel how this eerie work might be tied to her past. Censor is a faithful, creative ode to 1980s aesthetics and a twisted, bloody love letter to the video nasties of the era. In her assured feature debut, director Prano Bailey-Bond re-creates a moment in which society was on the brink of mass hysteria over the dangers of viewers being seduced by violent images—and then she cleverly immerses us in the haunted Enid’s shifting reality. Actress Niamh Algar stuns as her brittle character grows increasingly possessed by her quest.[/quote] A for effort but too much energy was put into homage and driving home the point of "Hey, this is Thatcher's England" and it never gets around to actually being scary. I didn't hate it but I would say don't buy into the hype if whoever winds up distributing this tries to market it as "the next elevated horror classic" or whatever.

Is this cryptofags or is it something else?

Which hedge fund that got torched by this does EuroHorn work for?

Talk about damning with faint praise.

Can you make money trading? Absolutely. Can you beat the market over the long term? I don't know about you but I doubt I can.

"Liquidity requirements"? GTFO bitch.
