However some things about it don't work for me. There are weaknesses on the surface - thin characters and vague plot points paired with a ridiculously self-serious vibe - although I guess I could say the same for Enter the Void and I loved the way that came together. I think something about Aronofsky's style just leaves me cold, I had the same problem with Requiem for a Dream. Another part of it is I don't think the math angle is quite as deep as it wants me to believe, and here the vagueness works against it. I do like the various themes - computers and consciousness, numerology and pareidolia, Jewish mysticism and the Wall Street cabal. A lot of movies by and about Jewish people are very self-conscious about the stereotype of greed (A Serious Man, Uncut Gems) and I'm sensing some of that here in the character starting out gaming the stock market with what turns out to be the Hebrew name of god, later rejecting materialism in the name of truth. I'm also fascinated with the mystic intonations. This is random but last year I saved an interesting comment on the music theory subreddit that's strangely relevant to this movie's esoteric side - https://www.reddit.com/r/musictheory/comments/g0n45n/my_friend_said_calling_sounds_tonicized_stable/fnb64h4/ I suppose you could read the whole thing as the psychodrama of a mathemetician going through a brain tumor. I wanted to like this more but I gotta call it like it hits me 6/10 --- You bow to no one, azuarc ... Copied to Clipboard!

So for a possible future nomination, if there's two movies that aren't related to each other at all as far as story and world go, but they were initially released as a double-feature similar to Grindhouse, can I nominate watching both movies together as one movie even though they are technically two unique movies? yeah as long as there's reasonable justification you can nominate anything since it's a different matter whether people will vote for it ...

So, what movies are people here looking forward to in the future? I saw the trailer for Memoria today that piqued my interest, and The Green Knight has been something I've been interested in for quite a while now.
Also Dune, which I hold out no hope for as far as being good but I'm still going to watch anyway. --- Huh? Finger!? What the hell? ... Copied to Clipboard!

Edgar Wright directing a psychological horror starring Thomasin McKenzie and Anya Taylor-Joy seems like something that's basically made for me. Also looking forward to the Marvel movies and Suicide Squad, in particular excited for Doctor Strange: Multiverse of Madness. Candyman I really hope is good because I loved the original but I'm hesitant to get too hopeful. --- Khal Kirby, warlord of the Super Star Khalasar PSN/Steam: CheddarBBQ https://goo.gl/Diw2hs ...

Last Night in Soho is gonna be amazing!
Also looking forward to Suicide Squad, The Green Knight & Candyman. Although my top pick right now would have to be Terrifier 2. Terrifier is one of the best slashers of all time and Art the Clown is simply creepy as all hell, his performance is so dynamic and intense. Old because it remains of peak twist Shyamalan. Venom: Let There Be Carnage because I'm excited to finally see one of my all-time favorite characters in a live-action film. And the first was a bit of a guilty like for me. I love symbiotes in Marvel so it's hard for me to outright dislike it. Halloween Kills since the previous Halloween was surprisingly great and brought the series back to its roots in a really enjoyable way, Jamie Lee Curtis was really on her a-game. Don't Breathe 2 is a must even if it kind of just looks like the same movie again. Resident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City because it sounds promising but I'm not holding my breath. And this is probably way off for now but Something in the Dirt, the next Benson/Moorhead movie! --- I've decided to put my fears behind me.

I think I'm mostly done with superhero movies? Or at least the Marvel variety. I think I was done a while ago but I was just dragging it out until the overall story came to a conclusion, so once the last Avengers movie came out I kind of lost any reason I had to continue watching them.

also while looking through credits i found out Charlie Kaufman's writing the script for an adaptation for the Memory Police which i coincidentally bought a copy of two weeks ago so that's definitely one of my answers for movies i'm looking forward to!!!
i actually don't pay attention to upcoming releases at all and pretty much only know about them when they come out and people start talking about them or i happen upon it like above. so yeah my list of upcoming (who knows when) movies i want to see: The Memory Police (???) - mentioned above Kate (2021) - found this while randomly browsing letterboxd one day and it's been on my watchlist since. literally only because of the name Cleopatra (???) - biography written by Stacy Schiff that i read years ago that i randomly found out was getting adapted and directed by fucking Denis Villeneuve. i don't know if they're going for a historically accurate biopic or more dramatized version but whatever it is i'm fucking down ...

So, the double feature I was thinking about nominating was Aragami / 2LDK. They're a pair of movies made by two directors because of a challenge, where they each had to make a ~60 minute movie in one week, taking place in one location with only two main characters, one director using men and the other women, one of whom must die during the movie. After the movies were over, audiences then apparently placed their ticket stub in a box for the movie they enjoyed more. Probably not going to end up nominating them mostly because I find myself interested in the idea of the competition more than either of the individual movies.
Outside of things like film festivals which are more free-for-all, are there any other kind of 1v1 competitions like this? --- Huh? Finger!? What the hell? ... Copied to Clipboard!
