Is that TV/Movie, or TV Movie?

How about film-length youtube videos like The Haircut?

Watch Showgirls. Jacques Rivette considered it Paul Verhoeven's best film about America. I agree with him.

Youtuber Quinton Reviews made a roughly 36 hours long iCarly cinematic multiverse video essay/review/recap, nothing of value but fun as a filler noise for background. He will likely do even more videos since iCarly, Victorious, sam and cat and Fred are only things he has done videos about and thats barely the half of nickelodeons shows that are in the same multiverse. I am not proud of the fact that I have watched these videos at least twice.

there can't be a "film about [x country]"
that's just an unrealistic claim

I am fasting starting tomorrow for 46 days while reading important books to train my mind and body. Wish me luck.

Motivation, anons. There are 3 easy things you can do to improve your motivation. The bonus is that they will also improve almost everything else in your life.
>go to bed for 10 hours before you have to get up and hopefully fall asleep soon after. Do whatever internet shit you have to do in bed. Heavily blue light filter all screens. The aim is to get 8 hours good sleep.
>Walk fast outside for 40 minutes, in the sun is best. Any sun. Many people, even in sunny countries. are vitamin D deficient which affects motivation
>Cut out sugar, eat as much real food without sugar as you like. Blood sugar spikes affect concentration and motivation.
You will find reasons why you cannot do these 3 easy things. Capitalism insists that you do the opposite and take adderall or ritalin for motivation and ambien to sleep. It doesn't care about your quality of life or your health.

>Star Wars cgi circus battles
LMAO what? Do you mean Disney Star Wars? Because old star wars up until the prequels did exactly that; slow and methodical space sea-battles, although both series had their different approaches

Considering how godawful Terminator Dark Fart was and how bland Abatap 2* was, I have little faith in Cameron anymore. Spielberg's Ready Player One** was just "reference; the movie" with a badly made plot that rips off every "VR" movie before it, like Tron, while pretending to be about "freedom" or some shit. Other films under his production like the Jurassic World series have been pretty lame too, so I have doubts that there would be much difference if either of those 2 made/owned Star Trek properties, rather than Kurtzman. As a side note Kurtzman is also one of the creators of Transformers 2, and CBS in general produces very shoddy series, so is it really a surprise CBS Star Trek sucks? Hollywood is all but dead at this point.

Nimona didn't give me Shrek vibes to be honest, Shrek was a very different creature (no pun intended) both plot wise and character wise, I think you may be associating the two simply because it's a bit crass in places as Shrek was. I enjoyed Nimona even in spite of it, and looking over the wall was plausibly deniable for the sake of the story.
On the topic of good independent Western cartoons, I highly suggest The Sea Beast, it's very unique.
>Give her a bigger package you cowards
LOL no.

I find a lot of youtube efforts to be pretty inspiring and refreshing, like Lackadaisy for example

I recently watched the Dreamworks Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken Movie. It was pretty lame to be honest, and it's entire plot feels like a femcel movie where beautiful girls are evil and "ugly" non-traditionally beautiful girls are hidden beauties in a lazy "be yourself" message. It's a plot that has existed for a long time, but in this particular film it's quite a step over something like Heathers.
They were REALLY banking on discount Ariel to bring in tickets out of spiting Disney and it justifiably lost a lot more money simply because the movie was terrible looking and had a very mediocre story to begin with.
Now I've never liked yurishit because it's almost never good, but unironically I think the movie (probably) wouldn't have flopped (as hard) if it actually was a romance between Ruby and Chelsea instead of whatever nonsense it turned out to be. Sure some people wouldn't like a lesbian movie but if it's done tastefully it'd be at least interesting. Hell it has a typical "enemies to friends/lovers" vibe.
Also, it had a really bad schedule to release in movie theaters all around. The new Spiderverse movie just hit cinemas and was destroying the box office in money and the Mario movie was released to home video after it made a world record for highest grossing animated movie yet. Production wise it is a significant downgrade from Puss in Boots 2. But at least it has something for the fetish-audience; giantess, tentacles, etc.

TL;DR: It's a typical teen drama movie but as one review for it said, there's a simpler, more sincere movie underneath it all that seems to be taunting audiences, like a glowing shape from deep below. If they took some more time to streamline the story it would have been pretty good I think, though the art style was frankly too janky and Illumination-tier rubbery. It's similar to Turning Red tbh, an interesting concept playing with mythologies within a modern human society, but its done horribly. Cheap girl movies like Aquamarine were better executed than this.

fceux, and I beat megaman2 and megaman 4 all ZERO deaths, get on my level

Brazilian cinema had a few western-inspired movies about the cangaço era and the most famous director, Glauber Rocha, just happens to be a massive Marxist with his favourite topic being religion as the opiate of the masses. Deus e o Diabo na Terra do Sol (known internationally as "Black God, White Devil") is about a cattle herder who kills his own boss and flees to join the religious zealot criminals he meets along the way, and Dragão da Maldade contra o Santo Guerreiro (also known as "Antonio das Mortes") is a sequel about the previous bounty hunter antagonist who is guilt consumed about being hired to hunt down the last remaining cangaço group and ends up joining them against the town's oligarch. You can find both on YouTube with decent English subtitles and I deeply recommend them if you enjoy third world surrealism, characters ranting in long proses, and wacky kayfabe fights.

>You mean The Quick and The Dead but typed the same title twice
Whoops, my mistake. I didn't know Raimi directed it as well? That's pretty cool. As I say, it's been a while since I've seen it.

Is anyone else going to watch Scorsese's new Western film that's coming out?

Anyone seen Sisters Brothers? Saw it sometime last year. I'm too smol brain grug to write a review so I'll just say I enjoyed it a lot. Loved the ending. Suprisingly comfy at times.

Really appreciate the small moments of them doing & experiencing things like simply getting food, the toothpaste, visiting the big city, showering in the hotel. Solidifies the setting as more than just pastiche. Even depicts pre-cartridge revolvers accurately. They actually swap out cylinders to reload mid fight. Thought the gunfighting was great as well. There's a heft and power to how the revolvers sound.

For a Few Dollars More is arguably the best of the "Dollars" series, which often is associated with Once Upon a Time in the West and Duck You Sucker / Fistful of Dynamite.

Fievel Goes West is like a fever dream, especially with the context of the original American Tail movie clearly taking place in the 20th century and having a much more serious tone. That kind of heightens it to feeling mythic. It's also notable for having Jimmy Stewart's last role.

The Coen version of True Grit is great. One of the few times Matt Damon is used well in a more recent movie, where he feels like an actual character in the world and not milking star power. The whole cast is perfect and it nails the nihilistic tone it's going for.

High Plains Drifter is a classic and one of Eastwood's first films as director. It really leans into the surrealism and mystery without going full gonzo like El Topo or something. Dead Man is kind of similar to that but more restrained, it feels like it works on an almost "fairy tale" logic but also has the nihilist/absurdist tone perfect.

Shanghai Noon gets points for Chinese representation in the West (surprisingly not a lot of examples despite the rich story potential as well as the large Chinese movie market today). Only other example that springs to mind if Blazing Saddles which I'm kind of surprised nobody mentioned yet but maybe it's just too low-hanging fruit. It's also more of a Hollywood-meta parody film than a western anyway, so maybe it doesn't count.

Visible in the pic is some of the weird mutants I got like the one shroom forming another mushroom fused to the top of the cap in reverse like something out of Akira. The bump and the little squigly bit is a cap and stalk forming which even produced it's own set of spores however I forgot to swab it and instead tried a tissue culture which seems contam'd unfortunately.
