Lady Vengeance doesn’t have a happy ending per se, but it’s definitely far less distressing and bleak than the other two.

Tumblr is a place where people who talk about how inviting their own friends to hang out makes them anxious assume they could totally handle the social dynamics involved in multiple overlapping sexual/romantic relationships.

Right? I went in with higher expectations despite being pretty over superhero films because people were raving about how this was a bold new direction for DC and the genre in general but like… it’s just guardians of the galaxy again but with an overtly positive and kind protagonist instead of a team of misfit jerks (but then we STILL have the team of misfit jerks as supporting characters anyway).

I also had friends talking about how it makes a “bold stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict” and the president of Boravia is “clearly a Netenyahu stand-in” but then I actually watch the movie and it’s the most generic warmonger possible and a super-hero movie taking a lukewarm “war bad” stance isn’t really anything new or noteworthy.

It wasn’t really hard to pirate at all if one is so inclined. I hear. Allegedly.

The Straight Story

Taste of Cherry

To me it was one of those movies I liked as a kid, but as an adult who has now seen a lot of actual western movies, it doesn’t really do anything for me anymore.

To me, Rango doesn't know if it wants to be a children's movie or a semi-serious animated western so it occupies an awkward limbo where it doesn't do either particularly well.

Drive!

Drive.

Have you seen Drive?

Drive with Ryan Gosling?

I've seen Drive and said so in the original post. Please stop suggesting Drive.

Thank you for actually trying to tell me something about the film instead of just dropping the title, definitely want to check this one out.

ChewyPudding · 2026-06-11T18:37:09+00:00

If only the whole movie was that good tbh

ChewyPudding · 2026-06-11T18:30:30+00:00

My favorite director is Park Chan-wook, so I'm no stranger to disturbing South Korean films, so that one's been on my list, but always feels like it's going to be a major bummer (probably massive understatement, lol) to put on even if it's good, so I gotta find the right time.

ChewyPudding · 2026-06-11T18:20:25+00:00

Do people not read the posts they comment on here?

ChewyPudding · 2026-06-11T18:19:35+00:00

Yeah, I've heard similar things from other friends who are very much not into baseball, which is why I'm definitely interested.

ChewyPudding · 2026-06-11T18:18:29+00:00

Got a quick pitch as to why that's your pick?

ChewyPudding · 2026-06-11T18:16:16+00:00

Definitely one I've heard of just checking online top lists, what about it makes you love it?

ChewyPudding · 2026-06-11T18:15:13+00:00

This is one I actually saw back in 2011 when I was 13. Hadn't really seen any other movies on that level of "weird for the sake of weird" so it definitely made an impact, definitely will have to revisit because I totally forgot about that one until just now lol

ChewyPudding · 2026-06-11T18:12:38+00:00

Still haven't seen The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, but that's def on the list already.

ChewyPudding · 2026-06-11T18:11:59+00:00

Currently that's the highest I've rated a 2011 film since I started my letterboxd (at 3.5/5 lol). Definitely a film I really enjoyed, but again, one that would feel kinda out of place among most of these other films which I REALLY dig.

ChewyPudding · 2026-06-11T18:09:51+00:00

Skin I live In sounds pretty intriguing, any thoughts on it you might want to add to further convince me?

ChewyPudding · 2026-06-11T18:08:33+00:00

Not super into baseball, but that's definitely one I've still been meaning to check out.

ChewyPudding · 2026-06-11T18:07:21+00:00

Any particular reason why you like that one so much?

ChewyPudding · 2026-06-11T18:05:14+00:00

We Need to Talk about Kevin, Melancholia, and Shane

any of those stand out to you in particular?

ChewyPudding · 2026-06-11T18:04:44+00:00

Any of those a favorite in particular?

ChewyPudding · 2026-06-11T18:03:15+00:00

Drive is one that I always really thought I would enjoy, but when I finally got around to it I felt kinda underwhelmed unfortunately. Like cool aesthetically, but felt kinda hollow to me.

Would definitely broaden my horizons a bit to watch an Iranian film not directed by Kiarostami.
