■ 🕑 1. Weird movies
│ Saw Donny Darko with the wife. It's an interesting movie: it
│ encourages us to doubt objectivity, reality, virtue, truth while
│ also encouraging the audience to sympathize with a psychotic vandal,
│ criminal, killer.
│
│ 20+ years after the fact, I'll say Donny Darko is not so "DEEP" or
│ world changing, especially relative to all the multiverse / timeline
│ hopping stuff that became so trendy since its release, but it's still
│ a fine movie to watch and enjoy for its general conceit...

│ Moon (2009) is a good one. Guy goes up to the moon and finds something
│ that he's not supposed to.

│ I remember Noroi: The Curse being pretty good. Weird mockumentary/found footage
│ kind of thing about this girl who's cursed by an ancient god or something, and
│ there's this tinfoil hat schizo guy that helps them get out of it.
│ They all die at the end, though
│

│ this one's a classic. I'm so glad it was shot in black and white. Not a
│ hipster, but black and white can be so kino. Don't you think
│ Dr Strangelove (1964) would be so worse in color?
│
│ I saw the new Godzilla Minus One in color then later saw the B+W one.
│ that was somehow way better.

│ El Topo is a good one - a psychedelic Western released in 1970.
│
│ It's about a gunslinger in a nameless desert searching for enlightenment. The
│ movie deals heavily in Western and Eastern spiritual symbolism and philosophy.
│ A lot of bizarre occurences and characters - the movie at parts is very surreal
│ and almost comedic and in others is dramatic or very violent.
│
│ It's been watched by and has inspired a lot of creatives and in my opinion
│ should be watched at least once by anybody who says they enjoy cinema.
