Pearl: I liked X, and the story of how Pearl was made is cool (written while bored in quarantine before filming X in New Zealand, filmed back to back with X). Pearl wasn’t as good for me. Mia Goth had an incredible monologue near the end, but the movie felt very paint-by-numbers. Things just...

Hell House LLC (Prime): found footage about a haunted house business in a haunted house. Perfect creepiness with the camera panning past freaky stuff all movie, often without anyone noticing. I like it. The ending was a bit of a surprise to me. A couple of criticisms: - a bit too chaotic at...

Summer funk: Neon Indian - Ephemeral Artery https://open.spotify.com/track/2D4srwnn1HwzDKQx4VzBs7?si=6HMU2cXhTDeAQ6bozBxFqg Ce’Cile - Rude Bwoy Thug Life https://open.spotify.com/track/0T1zgnn2ihNkxazEYQcWYi?si=b1j0XYJUSzuyeKlEx42r1w ETA: I don’t really know what funk is.

Don’t do this.

Yeah, that was mentioned twice in the movie. I didn’t make the connection to that promise being the trigger.

Triangle (Prime): I’m not sure this is horror, but I think it is. There were some odd bits at the beginning of this movie, but they made sense at the end. Trippy movie worth the time. I don’t think it’s scary, but it’s pretty horrific while being a neat concept.

Also I wanted to add 5 Seconds of Summer - She Looks So Perfect, but summer is in the band’s name instead of the song. Pretty generically perfect pop song.

Cemetery Man (Tubi): 1994 Italian horror movie that felt like it was from 1978. I made it 31 minutes in before bailing - slow zombies, comedy wasn’t funny, horror wasn’t horror, dubbing was annoying… the actress was stunningly beautiful and had a pretty exposed lovemaking scene, but this movie blew.

A streaming TV package - like Sling but they don't lie about having your local network channels. They seem to be soccer-focused somewhat. I've tried a few of these - Sling, YouTube TV, Fubo. Fubo was the best by a pretty wide margin in my opinion.

Love that song.

Sun: Post Malone - Sunflower https://open.spotify.com/track/3KkXRkHbMCARz0aVfEt68P?si=cd94096fb3dc4926 Mike Doughty - Sunshine https://open.spotify.com/track/1VVMUu0uiSmNrZhDpjPAc8?si=5ff5c8ee7a7449b6

https://worldsoccertalk.com/news/combined-schedule-of-copa-america-and-euro-2024-games-20231211-WST-476494.html Combined Copa/Euro schedule. I need to sign up for Fox channels - likely Fubo again like I did with the WC.

I watched the first episode of The Tourist, which is now on Netflix. It was gripping, we'll see how things go from here. It had been on my list for a while based on a recommendation in here.

The Hulkster!
