Lol, yeah that.So what you’re saying is that the alien was too human-like?
Fairly faithful to the original story and fairly entertaining. Obviously featuring a hilariously over-the-top performance by Nicolas Cage.
Not great, not terrible

How does it compare to Mandy? I've been put off by some reviews that say there is some disgusting visuals. I don't mind a bit of gore and really enjoyed Mandy but I don't like gratuitous disgusting imagery. Planet Terror for example, turned if off after 10 minutes once the puss started flowing.
It’s pretty tame. There is some body horror and some disgusting visuals, but it’s not too gratuitous
Currently watching In the Heat of the Night on Criterion. I’d never seen it before.
Once upon a Time in Hollywood
I missed the beginning and watched about 30 minutes of it. Looks decent, and I'll probably watch it in its entirety later, but the little bit that I saw was so overloaded with QT's anachronistic quirky pop culture obsessions that it started to bug me. Supposedly set in 1969, but every other car is a '65 Mustang or a mint condition shiny chrome classic from the 50's. People listening to Paul Revere and the Raiders "Spirit of '67" which no one would have still been playing in 1969. Driving by Pandora's Box, which was gone by '67. Sharon Tate goes to the movies and sees the trailer for CC & Company, which came out in 1970. "The Invaders" being advertised on a bus bench, which seems incredibly unlikely, and doubly so because it was cancelled in 1968. At some level, I suppose it's intentional, to create a Hollywood that only exists in scrambled memories, but it's fucking annoying.Once upon a Time in Hollywood
Finally got around to watching it at the weekend. I enjoyed it a lot. And obviously Nic Cage's performance is stark, staring bonkers.
pmc100:- depends on how you are with body horror. The horror isn't splatter gore, blood everywhere stuff, but there are some pretty grotesque and disgusting scenes. I'll not give any spoilers, but let's sayif you're the sort of person who was icked-out by 'Brundlefly', then definitely don't watch this film.
Soylent Green IS people !
Hostiles - well made western with Christian Bale channeling John Wayne in The Searchers. Good but grim as fuck. Definitely not one to watch if you want cheering up
the argument that Charlton is not people would be a valid discussion.Yes, but are all people people?
