    How about get your hearing checked so you can decide to see what frequencies may be diminished

    Ashley’s Pub with their Belly Buster Burritos and giant Margaritas was pretty fun too.

    Ravenous 1999.
    Western, Horror.
    Recently saw it and enjoyed it.
    If you know my history of suggestions…don’t go looking into the movie before you check it out.

    I saw the Brutalist last week, as 3.5 hour movies go, I thought it was pretty riveting (it had a 15 minute intermission that breaks it up pretty nicely). If you liked movies like There Will Be Blood and The Master, its one you'll want to see.

    I saw Anora recently also, that one was pretty good too, like a "real" high-energy (drug energy) version of Pretty Woman.

    Also I didnt watch Challengers until very recently, and I thought that was well done too. Another one that felt pretty "high energy" too, and not really what I expected. It was an interesting twist on a sports movie.

    This is such a cool and weird movie, I dont know why it exists. It has so many character actor "guys" in it too. Guy Pierce before he was well known. As well as a (now) convicted pedo (Jeffrey Jones) lol.

    It was cool and the music was good and stayed with me after the credits.
    Figured you had seen it. You told me about bone tomahawk but you must have forgotten this one. lol

    I enjoyed it. Was different. Nice bit of tension. Hugh made a great bad guy.

    Wife and I saw 3 movies this week.

    Flight Risk - Stupid action movie in a prop plane where a prisoner is being flown from a remote place in Alaska and the pilot is an assassin - Wahlberg. I enjoyed this ridiculous movie with the nonsensical decisions and a bad accent from Mark.

    Presence - whole movie is shot from the perspective of an “entity” living in a house of a newly relocated family. Was unique and creepy without gore.

    Brutalist - no idea what to say here. I get the academy award nominations for acting and the way it looked. Was a hard watch at times though. Not enjoyable but it was something.

    When Hugh was laying out all the religious arguments, it felt like watching a Too Hot thread

    It was a great job explaining “iterations”…
    Monopoly and the music he played.
    It worked pretty well for me.

    I had no idea Radiohead sued Lana del Rey, so I definitely learned something

    Agree. Me either. And the song creep, obviously fitting.
