Unfriended

I saw the movie Unfriended. It is a study of the social pathology of school children on the internet.

It is exaggerated for dramatic effect, and is indeed the acting out of a revenge fantasy.

But nonetheless it delineates the false selves, the conformity and the cruelty of school children.

Haven't seen it, I have no interest. Heard mixed reviews overall, as is the case with most horror movies of that vein.

Either way, I think it's safe to say your new pet issue and tool to appear morally superior and holier than thou is going to be the internet. How ironic and trite.

Just couldn't quite let go of "the children" though, eh?

Victor has always talked about the internet and social phenomena in his sermons. There is nothing new here.

52 Pick-up, a thriller from '86 starring Roy Scheider and Ann-Margret. Slow-paced and kind of boring in retrospect, but it had its moments.

The penultimate episode of Mad Men. It's all ending too fast.

Wolf Hall Episode 6

"All About Bette", a restrospective on the life of Bette Davis, narrated by Jodie Foster. I take back the part about her being a creepy actress. That was only true in a small handful of films in her later years.

Series premiere of Wayward Pines, a M. Night Shamalon directed series. Let the wild speculations begin.

There is a time distortion element just like the Lost island. I don't think he's insane or in a video game or dreaming. Perhaps the entire island is a spaceship or part of an alien experiment.

An Australian documentary called Mad Max: Fury Road.

My ISTJ had me watch The Heat the other day... hilarious, but... that scene in the Denny's... oh my god

Peter Jackson's LOTR: Battle of the 5 Armies. Poor Beorn, he got robbed; they only gave him about 3 seconds of screen time and that was my favorite part of the book. Also, I hope Cumberbatch gets typecast as a dragon from now on; that'd be funny.

Frazier re-runs on Netflix

 

[Tellenbach]

Age of Adaline. Great to see Kathy Baker (Dr. Jill Brock from Picket Fences) again; not so great to see Harrison Ford play a doddering old dude. Is it me or does Blake Lively look eerily similar to Cate Blanchette? The movie just misses the mark. I didn't see much chemistry between the two leads.

Oh and Ellen Burstyn plays a lady who ages much faster than her relatives once again -- strange coincidence if the casting director didn't know about Interstellar.

I recently watched Like Crazy (2011).

Right in the feels.

No No: A Dockumentary - About Doc Ellis who pitched a no hitter while on LSD and then messed his life up. Not really a sports fan, but this was good.
