#currentlywatching Ghost in the Shell(2017)

Seems solid.

More interesting than the film itself, which despite apparent critical reviews, I felt did a good job of capturing the philosophical/reptilian essence of the original, were the production details of the film. The Shanghai Film Group partly invested in this live action American remake of the Japanese manga, which cast the French actress Juliette Binoche as the Major’s creator. The cosmic joke seems to be China as inheriting the future, and that I plagarised Kenji Siratori in order to learn how to plagarise Deleuze🤪

#currentlywatching Twin Peaks: The Return, Lynch(2017)

Now seems like a fitting time to finally get round to watching this. The Lynchian humor is sometimes 🤣

My living idols are getting fewer in number – a sure sign of getting older. RIP

#currentlywatching Crimes of the future, Cronenberg(2022)

What can i say?🤣 I quite liked it. Typically Cronenbergian body horror. His first sci-fi/horror since Existenz(1999). Initial thoughts:.. A continuation and variation of his major themes, with possible parallels to Scanners(1981) and Naked Lunch(1991) especially. The locales were interesting, apparently it was filmed in Greece. Viggo Mortensen brought an elegantly decadent gravitas to the lead character of Saul Tenser. The soundtrack by Howard Shore evokes the idea of extraordinary new possibilities.
