The “hey Buddy” at the beginning made me double check with my roommate that he didn’t say anything.

I watched The Last of Us episode 3, and I did not expect to be emotionally wrecked by THAT show. I don’t cry at movies, but the whole episode was so beautiful and heartbreaking that I bawled my eyes out.

[@sciencecharity]

Incredible film

[@ACasualTrevor]

I discovered Logan Lucky when I searched for Soderbergh films and was stunned that I’d never heard of it. Watched it instantly. Loved it instantly.

[@alexhughes512]

I watched Skinamarink, and I thought it was an amazing avant-garde horror movie that actually scared the shit out of me at times. At other times, it can be extremely boring, however I do wanna say that I think when it's good, it's a genre defining, artsy, horrifying good. I didn't know it went viral on TikTok, seems weird, but I do think if horror movies went into some of the creativity that Skinamarink did, it would be a revival for that genre.

[@davismorgan7955]

I was also a big fan of skinamarink. I don’t know if I’ll watch it again but there are scenes from that movie that will be burned into my head, particularly the last scene. I am also a massive fan of analogue horror and I think the movie was a really good showing of what analogue horror is in essence.

[@deletedkneecaps]

it went viral on tiktok because the younger generation has an appreciation for analogue horror, which this movie definitely falls under.

[@davismorgan7955]

@@deletedkneecaps I think that’s a reason for it but TikTok has an awful reputation of finding a “scary” movie and blowing it out of proportions. They did that with Incantation which I really liked but it wasn’t the most horrifying thing I had ever seen. I went into skinamarink thinking that it actually wouldn’t be that scary since it was so hyped haha. I was pleasantly surprised when it ended up being the actual scariest movie I had ever seen.

[@JT-oc8yt]

@@davismorgan7955 @deletedkneecaps5819 I also have to say I think a lot of these tiktok kids have quite literally only grown up in a world where stuff like MCU films and sequels dominate the world of film as well. I think no matter how invested they may be into those worlds they begin to start looking for something different and experimental that feels less contrived than their counterparts. There’s no better way to market to young people than to make a movie that feels like punk rock horror 👍

[@Pratchettgaiman]

Now that it's officially happened three times, I'm declaring that "Daniel Craig having a Southern accent in a movie" is officially a sign that the movie in question is going to be flipping dope!

*utter dogshit

[@cd6229]

I’ve yet to see skinamarink in it’s entirety, I don’t know if I ever will, but from the things I’ve seen of it I think it would shake me. I used to have chronic nightmares as a child, frequently involving the devil, demonic forces, etc. and one scene I saw reminded me of a specific dream I had when I was 5-6 years old where the devil told me to get a knife, and gave me 10 seconds to find it or I’d be punished. The fact that scene is so close to what happened in my dream is unsettling to think about.

[@LeonardoDiCapri-Sun]

I just finished watching it, it really does feel like someone climbed into one of your childhood nightmares and filmed it. Cursed movie 😭😭

[@jacksoncraig0248]

I used to have nightmares every night as a kid and as I have grown as a person I started to love the horror genre and no movie has come even close to how scary my dreams were but skinamarink was amazing but I was kinda high so I’m gonna need to rewatch sober

[@naleekdrahcor3841]

The last scene is the best/scariest bit of the film I would recommend seeing it through

[@madisonephlin4121]

I love Logan Lucky. My 10th grade AP U.S. History teacher had us watch this movie just because he liked it so much. I show it to everyone who hasn't seen it because I've literally heard no one talk about it and it is so funny and charming.

[@mrpizzacat8273]

It’s one of of those movies that the few people who have seen it love it but it never gets brought up. I am one of those people

[@calowenby1654]

My twelfth grade anatomy teacher also really liked it, I believe. Interesting coincidence there!

[@cryingrones]

Stop, I absolutely loved Babylon I can't believe all the shit it's getting, I was genuinely blown away when my friend brought me to see it 😂😂

[@kyovibe]

ikr its so good

[@Kazooples]

I guarantee you Skinamarink is scarier alone at night, I don’t think it should be seen on the big screen, but even then it’s definitely not for everyone, it’s hard to explain why it terrified me more than any other horror movie in years. All I can say is it made me feel like a scared kid.

[@pirrodexpirro9285]

I really love this type of videos where you talk about all you watched

[@MrWBermudez]

Honestly feel like while visually all quiet on the western front may be similar to other war films, we rarely see a war film from a losing countries POV and how truly no one survives a war even its “survivors”. Like when has a movie had a soldier kill and then cry w guilt over the man he killed, or a soldier be shot after the war is over by a farmers kid after he took some food. Feel like the film brought a lot of real depressingly horrifying truth to a genre that is usually full of heroism and honor worship (even 1917 despite enjoying that movie does this)

[@colinmitchell1276]

Taylor Swift being run over by a truck was probably the funniest scene in any movie in 2022. Absolute gold.

Babylon just sticks with you, I think it's a masterpiece .

[@doodleground]

You're not crazy...Babylon is deserving of so much praise! I would love to hear more of your thoughts on the film...seems like you had more to say, but for now, loved what you said! After watching it twice this week, I still can't get the film out of my head and I'm a wee bit shocked at its polarised reviews. Maybe it's too raunchy or the ridiculous scenes with bodily fluids put people off quickly, or the ending was too out there? To me, the ' messiness' that's being said as a criticism of the film, feels refreshing and brave. You can really tell that Chazelle spent 15 years (or so) passionately researching for the film, and having experimental fun with the pacing, cinematography, the emotional swell of the ending etc...because he just had so much to say. All the jam packed montage sequences accompanied by the howling brassy Hurwitz score that's an alternate universe La La Land soundtrack, is just such a thrilling ride! It sure is messy but Hollywood is messy, and like you said, Babylon so bluntly captures the Siren that is Hollywood.

[@artemijsstefanovs3465]

YES! Completely agree on your thoughts!

[@olliemartinelli4034]

Fully agree. I think it’s one that will age well - the experience of watching it in the cinema was genuinely wonderful (even though yes a bit too long).

[@davismorgan7955]

I appreciate your take on Skinamarink. I am the type of person who was terrified of it just for the suspense it managed to create with relatively little. I get why people don’t like it but it was legitimately the most scared I have ever been while seeing a movie and is the only time in my life where I’ve wanted a movie to end because I was so freaked out. That being said, I don’t think I will ever watch it again and I think the discourse and speculation about the plot is what makes it stand out to me rather than the actual film itself.

[@LeonardoDiCapri-Sun]

Horror movies generally don’t scare me but I still enjoy them. This one though had me actually covering up my eyes at points and I kind of wanted it to hurry up and end.

My January usually consists of catching up on all movies I missed the previous year in oscar nominations. I hate watching them because they are all too long and i hate not watching them because i love to bet with friends which movie's gonna get it. My personal favorite is Banshees of Inisherin

[@TheIncredibleMovieGeek]

To karsten the most similar movie to Paddington 2 is Magic Mike 2. Of Course

[@dylqn55]

I started the year with Puss in Boots 2, and what a way to start. Easily one of my favorite Dreamworks movies. Excellent story, excellent animation, everything about it completely lived up to the hype (for me at least). Next, I rewatched Glass Onion. I didn't think it would hold up on rewatch quite as well, but I actually think I liked it better the second time? I really took issue with the pacing the first time through, but knowing what was going on made the pacing feel less odd. Last (for movies at least), I watched The Banshees of Inisherin. I really enjoyed this movie. I kinda took issue with some things that happen towards the end, but the more this film has sat with me, the more I appreciate the movie regardless of those issues. For tv, I watched the first 2 episodes of Poker Face, and the first 3 episodes of The Last of Us. I've really liked Poker Face so far. I like it's take on the murder mystery genre, in that the question is not who did it. Hopefully I can find the time to catch up on it before it ends. Spoilers for episode 3 of The Last of Us ahead I've really enjoyed The Last of Us so far. I've never played the game (nor do I plan to, not my kind of game), but I can still tell how well it adapts the game. The first 2 episodes are both excellent. Episode 3 is easily a 10/10... as a side story. As an episode of the main series, it's not great. It spends far too much time away from the main characters, especially considering that the characters this episode focuses on both die at the end. This episode could've been handled much better as an episode of The Last of Us. That doesn't really matter though. This episode was one of the best gay romances I've ever seen, some perfect representation from the last place I would've expected to get it

[@disconsolate3235]

The thing with tlou episode 3 is that it's very much an important story thematically. The last of us is a story about love and the different ways and lengths people go for someone they care about. Episode 3 functions as a display of the pure _good_ that love can bring you and bring the people around you. The happy ending here effectively juxtaposes all the bad and Bill, as a foil for Joel, shows him the importance and the joy you can get out of finding someone to protect, and doing so successfully. something that joel is yet to do

Hey Karsten, I love watching your "what I watched"-videos, I found so many movies for my watchlist, it's great. But there is some feedback: For me, the showing of the names is too short and often I need to go 30 seconds back in the video, because you got me hyped about the movie, but already forgot the name. There are some things you could do: 1. add chapters in your videos 2. show a little text with the name of the movie in some corner during the discussion. I would really appreciate that. Thanks for your videos!

It's a pretty cool movie. Suzuki's Branded to Kill I vaguely remember being just OK. There was actually another very similar Yakuza movie that came out the same year as Branded, also starring Joe Shishido called A Colt is My Passport. Both movies even had some extremely similar parts, but I thought Colt was the way better of the two and handled its similar scenes better.
