Why the hell would you want him to cut the best part of the film?
It just all seemed a bit beside the point.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016) - ★★★☆☆
Just finished watching Rogue One. That was pretty good. That one commander made of CGI was hella jarring though. And I'm sad the scene with the Stormtroopers in the water didn't make it in, and then one were we see an AT-AT shoot at Jyn and Carcassian from a frog perspective. It was also a little bit long, but overall I quite liked it, and yet I expected more out of the characters from the rebellion.
Heh, good one.They were rebels, weren't they? They rebelledagainst your expectations
I love Freddy as a character but Nightmare was always pretty lame to me. That said Dream Warriors was the best that series produced. I think the shitty tv series soured me a bit or maybe his dream world's were too brightly colored. Eh out of the big series I grew up with, this one ranks lowest.
The first two Halloweens...three really, are damn good. Part three is a departure on purpose but then things go back to Michael and kind of fall apart from four up but their all still fun though. Carpenter did the first one, that's reason enough to watch it.
Friday the 13th is great but it's all over the damn place as a series. The first is not so much like the rest and they get dumber and campier as it wears on. I bought the set and blew through them a few years back and had a lot of fun with them. Actually the space one is pretty much my favorite just because it was so dumb. But...the first one is great cinema.
I'd say catch the first of each series at least. The second two of both are also worth watching to see them continue each series and after that both series pretty much stabilize and follow the formula although H3 is offbeat. None of these are scary so much but each series is fun in its own way.
Macbeth (2015) - ★★☆☆☆
Not entirely sure I understood this movie. That old British language was hard to understand but I got somewhat used to it during the film. All I got from this though was that Macbeth and his wife plotted on taking down the reigning king to get that power, but by the end Macduff and Scottish troops take him out and he loses his power. That's really all I got from it, and I'm not even sure I understood it correctly.
It's incredible how Disney made me way less interested in the future of the Star Wars franchise with just this film. Can't wait for that Hans Solo film that I care nothing about!Rewatched Rogue One. It's pretty incredible what Disney has done with this series. R1 has got to be top 3 for me.

I always turn subtitles on for any Shakespeare adatation. It helps in comprehension and just makes it a more enjoyable experience. I'd also recommend just reading through the wiki plot summary first for anything you haven't seen. It's not like you're spoiling the story or something, it doesn't really work that way.
Has a woman ever put on a dramatic amount of weight specifically for a role, like Robert De Niro or Christian Bale? I can't think of one and now I'm obsessed with the idea that it could be low-hanging fruit for someone to clean up awards.
Charlize Theron for Monster?
Persona is fucking amazing. How much Ingmar Bergman packs in just 84 minutes is inspiring, more filmmakers need to cut the fluff and go straight for the jugular.

It did inspire Robert Altman's 3 Women obviously, the whole ~90 min runtime was a big thing for Woody Allen who's the biggest Bergman fanboy along with more homage like a few of his films which I should see (Interiors, Love And Death), and the recent Queen Of Earth (two women in a secluded place losing it) with a similar runtime.
I need more crazy Bergman. I've only seen The Seventh Seal and Winter Light out of his others. Is there another film of his on this experimental and weird level? Or should I move onto Wild Strawberries or Cries And Whispers, anyway? This MUBI dude says Shame and Smiles Of A Summer Night are better than Persona.

Hell or High Water isn't a spectacular movie, but it's pretty damn good. Solid cast all around, probably the best Chris Pine performance I've seen. Can you imagine having a brother that is just infinitely more handsome than you? You'd probably be a criminal too. And Jesus, those wide open Texas skies are stunning.
One of my favorite aspects was how it showed these small town Texan characters who clearly pined for the old days. So many wannabe cowboys. And then it shows an actual cowboy, and he's like this fucking sucks. Made me lol.

FilmStruck maneCriterion should put out a Bergman bluray set. I've only seen around 3 movies of his but he is great enough for me to just blind buy multiple films and not feel like I wasted my money.

Pain and Gain is him trying to ape his favorite filmmakers the Coens in his own brain-dead way. The Rock is great in it though.
