I actually really liked The Square, though I don't recall it particularly well. The 'monkey' scene was always great. It definitely took some cheap shots but my memory is the humour was a lot more dry than Triangle of Sadness. I haven't seen any others.
Anyway, it sounds like whatever you didn't like about The Square is even more pronounced in Triangle of Sadness so best to give it a miss.

Triangle of Sadness was an absolute joy to view. One of my films of the year. The way it blends working class and upper class aesthetics is masterful.

Not a big fight movie guy but holy fuck this was incredible! Was not expecting the soundtrack to go so hard! And it's got a real monster of an antagonist, too.
Apparently this is Donald Trump's favorite movie lol. Meanwhile no country gave it one star on letterboxd. Need to reconsider who my friends are.

The director Newt Arnold was assistant director on films like The Godfather II, Blade Runner, Sorcerer, The Getaway etc. Absolutely based to go from those to Bloodsport.

I was not prepared for this amount of Van Damme ass
This really dragged compared to Bloodsport, with way too much time spent on setup and training. The villain has very little presence in the story outside his two fights. But the last 40 minutes were quite good. Love how it just cuts to credits 30 seconds after the antagonist is downed; they know what we're here for. (Sudden Death did that, too.)

The whole section. Dropping coconuts on JCVD's stomach, the sensei playing the flute as he casually almost drowns JCVD, the underwater movements, the shin conditioning, doing those 360 kicks just above the sensei's head, the amazing silhouetted scenes at the ruins.
This is all genre staple stuff.

id rather see training montages than disney bullshit where the person is just good at everything for no reason. Live action Mulan was so offensive even my wife was like "why can she just do everything? where's the fucking dragon?"

Time for some garbage tonight. Fam's asleep and I'm wide awake.
I have no idea if I've seen the original but I feel like it doesnt matter. Some half ugly porn girls getting murdered and monster raped in an Evil Dead rip off. Fuck I love Evil Dead rip offs even if they're really shittyy.

Watched this tonight, first time in over a decade easy. Way more fun than I ever remembered it being!

Still waiting for one of these to be a waste of time. JCVDathon keeps paying off.
