C_J Homegrove I guess it does seem a bit odd, to many people. A bit sterile or soulless. I personally find it quite emotionally freeing to live an entirely clutter-free, paperless simplified life. Possessions just weigh down the soul.
Homegrove Yeah, I bet our home would feel claustrophobic to you. I’ve always needed that anchor. Also during the worst of covid it meant I had no issues with spending extended periods of time at home. It’s where all my things are! 😀
Homegrove Tar. We both loved it. Maybe a bit long, but otherwise every bit in it worked, Cate Blanchett most of all of course.
C_J Tar was too much for my little brain to deal with. I don’t know how someone who wasn’t a native English speaker could take all that in. I’m talking about the amount of verbal nuance and the sheer amount of words and ideas, piled on top of the subtext and visual messaging. It was a very dense and multilayered film. The sort of thing I’d want to watch with some earbuds and a laptop and some good weed. I found it a bit much tbh.
Homegrove I didn’t have particular issues with it, I had more trouble with the fact that half of the German was not subtitled. Deffo a rewatch, nobody will notice everything in it on one watch.
Along_the_Wire I started watching it, but didn’t really get into it and bailed. I might go back at some point. My Manhunter Blu Ray arrived yesterday, will watch today hopefully.
Along_the_Wire Dan I have three cats - one of the little cunts is diabetic and cost me £4k this year. It’s not available to stream, so had no option but to go full Hannu
Millsy I’m expecting comments about the 80s synth soundtrack, and everything being ‘of its time’. I saw it first back in the 90s and before SOLT came out, so the whole Hannibal Lecter thing was new. To me it felt very similar to my first viewing of Angel Heart.
Along_the_Wire Right, the Mindhunter review is in. Massively hammy 80’s pensive staring off into the distance rubbish, but as mentioned, beautifully sinister baddies, great narrative that builds to what feels like quite the rushed ending. Molly would get some. 7.5/10
