Watched The Lighthouse last night, loved it to bits. Freud and Jung drunkenly dancing a jig around the room, having fun but also fighting for dominance over the subtext. Also one of the more repulsive films I've seen in awhile, so descriptive and grubby in its all-too-human degradation. Eggers rules and I cannot wait to see his upcoming Skarsgård-helmed Norse film.
I agree with this, just finished watching it myself. Execution felt a bit conventional (at times bordering on corny family dramedy) but the lack of give-a-fuck Stanley brought to it saved it for sure. Also this was one of those weirder types of Cage performances where it's hamfisted enough to make you want to bite your fist, but subtle/suppressed enough to not take it into gloriously autistic and memorable places. Just kinda middling and wonky.

I looked it up, doesn't seem to be much of a PC element (not outwardly at least) to it but clearly fake accounts by someone who seems like a barely literate teenager with an irrational agenda. You would think a site like IMDB would police that sort of thing better.

Seeing as the director said Jung and only thing I know about Freud is fucking your mother, what are you referring to

I definitely read a few reviews that clearly have PC motivations behind them, some even straight up mentioned it. One said something about "these guys are catering to the anti-PC crowd". I also thought it was funny that a bunch of others went on to say "started with a a sex scene OH NOOO" "da racism" etc. Pretty sure most of the "its long and boring so ONE STAR" reviews are just undercover PC faggots and their alt accounts who are trying to sabotage the ratings. Sure, you can not like the film, but one star(and dozens of them in a row at that)? cmon now, that's straight up bullshit.

I am the worm
Realmbuilder rules. His CD collection must be a sight to behold. He's known to blind buy entire bands discographies. Even more random, but anyone ever read his exploration into slam death he wrote back in 2013? https://wormgearzine.com/2013/01/01/slam-grande-an-opinionated-investigation-of-slamming-brutal-death-metal-by-s-craig-zahler/

you'll love that shit, i doubt you'd like his metal band though
Realmbuilder? I actually have their second album on vinyl. Only spun it like 2-3 times but i remember liking it more with each listen. Cover art for that one sucks ass though.
