Poor.

The Waiting Room. Did you know that the American health care system is perfect and needs absolutely no changes?

Wait, there is a health care in UAC?

Technically, I think it's sort of an obligation of every corporation in the future but I can imagine the quality varies wildly, depending on if they find it more efficient to contract out or hire people in-house who are probably at least somewhat sketchy. 

Mean Girls. One of my favorite Rachel McAdams movies behind Game Night, Family Stone and Eurovision.

Abridged Weevil approves.

The other day I watched "8-Bit Christmas". A good family movie about the late 80s in the style of the late 80s (like "Home Alone", although it is from 1990). Although in the post-USSR it was a little different. In the post-USSR, the Taiwan NES clone appeared in the early 90s. Before this, the most popular 8-bit home computer were numerous clones of the ZX spectrum on layer-by-layer copied chips similar to the Z80, which were made by various “cooperatives” at radio-electronic factories. Those who were lucky, whose parents or relatives worked in scientific and educational institutes, could look at more diverse equipment: the coolest were Yamaha MSX or IBM XT clones, which were called “Unified Series 1840, 1841...”.
Speaking of the film, the spirit of innovation in electronics that captured us all was very similar around the world. I think that most of the boys of that time were also fired up by this 8-bit virus.

I think that's one I should check out sometime, Italian horror is always interesting.

I just watched Fist of Fury, and it was fantastic. Bruce Lee was truly one of a kind. 

america 3000 (1986)

Beaks (The Movie) or 'Birds of Prey' (1987)

Toy Story 3.

Still love this movie. Makes me laugh every time, feel nostalgic, get emotional. 

El Pico

The perils and heartbreak of heroin addiction

I used to watch real movies

yesterday I watched Jack Reacher and I felt like my brain was melting

what if there was a really smart handsome and badass soldier guy not sucker enough to live in society and he showed up wherever he was needed oooh Three out of ten stars

(reconfigure that into an 80s sword 'n sorcery style thing and I'd like it though. lol. what if there was a really canny rugged and determined barbarian guy not foolhardy enough to swear to any king who nevertheless undertook an important quest ooooh)

homewrecker (1992)

kronos (1957)

Not counting the list of content I just watched on the airplane to and back from another country in Asia this year (Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part One, Barbie, Expendables 4, Blue Beetle, Doraemon Nobita's Sky Utopia on the way there and The Last Samurai, The Marvels, Coco, Five Nights At Freddy's, and Crayon Shin Chan: New Dimension! Great Psychokinetic Battle ~Leaping Handmade Sushi~ on the way back home)...

I would say I had enjoyed the distinct honor and pleasure of viewing an anime film was legit the only Asian-produced film that stood out to me the most in a sea of mostly mediocre and uninteresting options for me in the theater I was viewing it at: 

Watching this film really enlightened my senses and gave me a spike and high in emotional love mixed with both happiness and sadness. It was an even more amazing movie than I expected, like it really defied and shattered my expectations when they were relatively modest at first. 

This is like one of the most underrated films I've ever seen in my life so far and the best film I've seen in the theater of the country of my family that I always frequent.

Not sure if anyone has seen this, but here is the English trailer for it.

What's even more awesome is that this film was actually based on a true story of a real person who lived through the depression of Wartime Japan. 

On top of that, I will also add that Totto-Chan is easily a Ghibli-tier film in my opinion. Like this would be the only thing that can compete with Hayao Miyazaki's Boy and the Heron for me and it's one of the best alternatives to a Ghibli film by far.

Also for reference: Totto-Chan is actually animated by the same anime studio that works on Doraemon and Crayon Shin Chan's anime's: Shin-Ei Animation.

It's like what if Ghibli and Doraemon collaborated together to make a film, this would be their lovechild. 

Tales From The Hood; funny, and true...
