Another long week passed by. Shit's all boring. Videoconferencing is a bad meme that's being pushed down on everyone's throat. Hungary is now officially a kingdom, all hail our new wise and brave king Orbán. Fuck gdb. I wish it'd rain sometimes. Oh, and the best: retarded conspiracy theorist boomers have set fire to some 5G (and some 4G too) base stations in England, claiming that millimeter waves will kill us. Yet they seem to get on well with vehicle radars utilizing similar bands. I hope these idiots will spawn more memes like this.
Movies
Monday: 1917
A WW1 war movie about two low-ranking soldiers who are on a mission to deliver a message to halt an attack on Germans that will cost hundreds of lives if carried out. The entire movie (or most of it, I wasn't really paying attention) consists of one single shot - I don't know what kind of fags does this appeal to, but it started to disturb me after 15 minutes. I found it hard to believe that soldiers (except officers) were issued no sidearm.
Tuesday: Blade Runner 2047
It's quite a miracle that cyberpunk dystopia movies are even produced. I've seen the original Blade Runner a few years ago, but I wouldn't call myself a fan. The plot was somehow complex, this movie really calls for a thorough background reading and then a rewatch. What I always miss from dystopian movies are the explanations or even hints on how the world became such a cruel place.
Wednesday: American Psycho
I originally wanted to see this movie because of the memes circulating on /g/ and other boards. American Psycho is essentially the diary of an emotionless psychopath Patrick Bateman, who has an almost irresistive drive to murder. The ending left some open questions, so I visited the IMDb FAQ section searching for answers. Suddenly I can't recall a single movie that has such contradicting interpretatios - imagine something like Inception (especially the ending scene).
Thursday: Kumiko the Treasure Hunter
The heroine is a socially inept woman at the brink of burnout. Despite being in her late twenties she is still chasing after childish dreams, her favorite hobby being searching for "treasures". One day she stumbles upon a VHS copy of Fargo and since then she becomes obsessed with finding the suitcase full of money shown on one scene, which she believes to be real.
The story is moving very slowly; there are neither monologues nor narration and Kumiko speaks only when necessary. Throughout the entire movie I couldn't help but wonder about the point of the story: I thought this is an overly exaggerated social satire about the childishness and naivete of the Japanese. After doing some reading it turned out the plot is based on an urban legend.
Friday: Avengers: Age of Ultron
Tony Stark's little hobby project takes an unusual step as the AI created from Loki's sceptre goes rogue and wants to destroy humanity. Sasuga Marvel, a "marvellous" plot I might say. As usual, the Avengers cause more damage than the villains. As an added bonus we got more superheroes to show off in the next Marvel movie, which I think is Captain America: Civil War (I already saw that).
Saturday: The Wolf of Wall Street
This movie is about the rise and fall of a broker whose life revolves around one thing: money. And maybe drugs. During high school I've heard multiple people say that this was their favorite movie and wish they had a life like this. I still don't understand why would they want all of this, knowing where it leads to.
Sunday: The Revenant
Leonardo Dicaprio seeks revenge on his fellow who killed his son and left him die after a bear attack injured him pretty badly. The Revenant has beautiful sceneries, though the plot is boring: most of the screen time is Dicaprio dying and getting other injuries. I can't believe he got an Academy award for this shit.
