The Substance (2024)
Combination of gothic horror, David Lynch weirdness and Kubrick visuals.
Bloody great - really original, well written and with a great performance by Demi Moore. Very high on the tit-watch scale as well.
4 Branagh's Frankenstein's out of 5 David Lynch Eraserhead's
Cronenburg did it better decades ago

Cronenberg's one of my favourite directors, but I thought it had a lot more to say in general than his films

TripwireThat is a fucking amazing trailer. Nobody can complain "I feel like I've already seen the entire movie".
Well - wait - no - they can... but not because it gave anything away about the plot.
Unfortunately my local cinema states "Seeders: 0" - but it's on my list. -

Rebel Moon
I know the original releases were panned but I quite enjoyed them. So I watched the R18 Director's Cuts of both movies. Over 6 h in total. We get to see more backstories of some of the characters and there is plenty of graphic violence. And plenty of Sofia Boutella as well.
are they on netflix? i had similar thoughts, there are plenty of films that are fun...but not good

@Kiwiwomble Yes

Dollman
I had a weird feeling I'd seen that before - until about 1/3 of the way in. Now I'm intrigued by both Dollman, and whatever it is I've seen before that reminded me of it.
My local cinema shows Dollman as having Seeders >0 - but "Downloading metadata" for now - about the same status as my chances of watching Ebola Rex. Fuck, I want to watch Ebola Rex, so bad.
On the upside - my options at the local cinema include a version of Dollman which is "REMASTERED.BRRip" - so... that's gotta be a good sign. -

They're Netflix productions, so they should be there.
Not sure why I'm directing people to those shit stains masquerading as movies - I must secretly dislike @Kiwiwomble

He's pretty unlikeable. Constantly inoffensive. Fuck him.

You might actually be right. That looks VERY familiar. And checking my local cinema - there's fucking SIX in the Trancers series? It's a mofo-ing franchise.
And I have a vague memory I might have discovered and exclaimed that before as well. -
Clerks III
I've watched all the Clerks movies over the last week or so - while stoned, to get "that" view of them
Original - amusing
2 - I'm vaguely remembering as being problematic
3 - not great. Lots of self-referencing self-back-clapping nonsense.- and realised - I've never seen this before. Maybe watching Kevin Smith's schtick for the first time while stoned... doesn't quite work? Anyway...
Tit-watch: minimal. Rosario Dawson's return in III - kept my otherwise dwindling interest piqued.

You need to also watch 2024's The 4:30 Movie - a spiritual prequel by Kevin Smith set in the 1980's

Watched half of Bullet Train.
Great fun over the top bullshit, Brad at his best ( does he ever put a foot wrong ? ) and loads of other quirky psychos.
I do like that genre of movie, but unfortunately had to postpone the rest of it as I was busy catching flies on the couch after a big day.
Great recommendation from my sons.
Iâm sure if will get a good review when I finish watching tonight !

You might need to watch it from the beginning again. Itâs so batshit crazy that youâll likely forget what the hell is going on.
