Watched this today. Vin is getting old (aren’t we all 😆), but I still picture him in his youthful days. The movie was ok, good twist in the plot as far as what is what, on the really high tech end, so many questions I could of asked, but didn’t. Ya just have to go with the flow.
Verdict: Thumb sideways.
Looked this up, only available to buy.
There was another movie from 2019, Dark Phoenix we wanted to watch and it too was just for purchase. I don’t buy movies I’ve not seen first.

I watched both the Hulu and Netflix documentary about it. I'd read about the fiasco as it was progressing, as well.
Apparently, this is going on now:
U.S. Marshals Selling Items From Fyre Festival Fraud Scheme | U.S. Marshals Service
Washington, DC – The U.S. Marshals are holding an online auction starting July 30 for 126 lots of minor assets from the fraudulent Fyre Festival planned by

[edit: oops]
Ready or Not is super smart, deconstructive to the genre, funny, dark, gory, but it’s probably worth waiting for a “freebie”, Dark Phoenix is __poop__.

I don’t demand a freebie, just a reasonable rental. Yeah, I had heard about Dark Pheonix, read the saga in the comics so I had high expectations to be dashed, already dashed once in X-Men 3. Jean Gray was not a psycho. 😬
Ready or Not is (and I accidently changed names above, sorry about that ...) coming to HBO this month! It's also available at Redbox for $2, or if you sign up, they're constantly sending $0.75 - $1.25 discount codes (the latter makes a movie 75 cents plus tax
that's how we saw it)
Red Box comes through! Something I just realized, that you can reserve movies via the app instead of pot luck, show up at the vending machine with your fingers crossed.Ready or Not is (and I accidently changed names above, sorry about that ...) coming to HBO this month!

Ready or Not (2019)- loved it!
Wondering how I missed it in 2019?I only like horror films with happy endings, even if they are bloody. I really wish she had gotten to use the elephant gun, since they showed promotional images of her with an ammo belt slung over her shoulder.

Oh excellent, it's really fun, great cast, Samara Weaving (the lead), was in another pretty fun horror movie called The Babysitter.
Yeah, we always reserve via the web or app - the one major thing I'd change about their process, is the CC used to make the rental, also has to be used to pick it up, it would be cool if you could pick up with just the app.
Oh, and ICYDK, you can return a disc to any box (which was handy when we were more out and about).
My wife and I watched V For Vendetta last night. A good movie.

Side tangent:
See, I thought they pulled Redbox machines due to C/19? (Not to involve any type of PRSI here), but in my area, they pulled all the Redbox machines because of cross-contamination. Anyways, in terms of movie rentals, I have spent a small fortune on Redbox, [mainly late fees😁], but I went ‘all digital‘ and never looked back direct from the comfort of my home.
I recently rented the movie Predestination from 2014, which I'd never seen before. It stars Ethan Hawke as a "temporal agent" on a mission. The plot is so wonderfully mind-bending that I rented it again to catch more nuances. I guess I should have purchased it instead, but I rarely want to re-watch movies.
If you like time travel plots, as I do, and want one that really makes you think, I recommend it.
It's based on a science fiction short story, and there are online discussions that provide the plot details, but don't read them. Even IMDB says too much about the plot. The less you know in advance, the better!

Redbox is a business model that I would assume is dying, at least the physical disk part of it. I see they are offering limited streaming, but honestly the only reason I resorted to a physical disk rental is because I’ve seen several 2019 movies that are only available to purchase for Streaming about $20, no way.
Don't laugh at me for being compulsive, but I've now watched this movie four times in a week, to take in all of the clever nuances in the dialog. I thought I caught some inconsistencies in the screenplay, but on a careful re-watching it seems the writers had all of the details worked out to a T. There's hardly any part of the dialog that isn't hinting at what eventually makes sense.

Such a good film. I recall having some of it on a tape we used to play in the car back in the day!
I used to have the OST too. Need to look for it again.
Huge fan of Ethan Hawks work. I did watch this one years ago, but I think I fell asleep by default.😁 I remember being it being a very deep movie With some rather disturbing sequences, (as in ‘transformative’ changes-to put it loosely w/o divulging.) But it’s not uncommon for me to watch movies two, three, even four times to pick up different elements.‘ Inception and Annihilation’ being two of those films that require that kind of re-watch. Will watch this one again.
Until the End of the World
Very much an auteur film; to watch the full directors cut is best described as a commitment at close to 5 hours in length. The film is uniquely captivating, ebbs and flows beautifully, tremendously powerful soundtrack. This a journey for both the participant's and the audience, after all Until the End of the World...
Same as the film, if your in the right mindset you'll get it, if not you'll want to walk away, however if your in the right frame of mind Until the End of the World will blow you away and for good reason.
Forget the shorter version's, they will only serve to confuse and turn you off the film being disjointed and coming up lacking of what the film is really about.

I haven't seen the director's cut but I do like Wim Wenders' work very much. Solveig Dommartin was one of the leads in Wings of Desire as well. It's the soundtrack Until the End of the World that I still listen to, especially the U2 title song, and T-Bone Burnett's Humans From Earth.
