i have such a hard time getting through movies, its brutal and unfortunate. i am fully aware im missing out on some critical pieces of art in consequence, but if isnt both predominantly psychological thriller and as quickly paced as oppenheimer, its super hard to keep me engaged.
i will talk about this movie until the end of time. despite minimal dialogue and the most clinical atmosphere to be captured by means of cinematography, the lack of information and consequential unpredictability kept me thoroughly enticed and fully unnerved for the full two hours. minimalism weaponized for max intensity with no certain direction; epitomization of surrealist thriller.
watching it for the first time without context nor any expectations is an invaluable experience.

it's a spanish film about a tragedy that makes you question your opinions on cannibals/cannibalism :)
there was another movie about the same tragedy (alive 1993) but it was a whitewashed retelling of the tragedy of the andes

This movie left me so profoundly disturbed in a way few other pieces of media have. The premise—to film perpetrators of the mass murder of communists and other groups under the Suharto regime in Indonesia REENACTING their crimes years later (in classic Hollywood style)—at first seems too bizarre to work. The point of the film is that it was only ever going to work. ‘Inspiring’ is actually a good way to describe it: it compels you to look at yourself and your own heart of darkness, not passively but with naked honesty. And what’s chilling and shameful is how watchable it ultimately is. Like nothing I’ve ever seen or will see again.

I haven't done this in a long time and actually have done it only once, but i think it's such a sweet thing to do. to go to an ice cream shop alone and getting a cone (two flavors) then going about your day minding your own business. really, self care.

i learned this game years ago, but i didn't really care about it much until i bought it during this holiday break. it's been like a week straight that friends are coming over to mine's or i'm bringing the game over to their's just to hang out and play rummikub. it has surprised me how many hours straight we've been able to play. honestly really fun and easy, no tension, no real competition just silly fun time.

absolutely agree that the most versatile pasta shape is rigatoni. mezze maniche are shorter and wider but essentially give you the same vibe. i prefer them overall.
