  2. It's funny reading Poor Things after seeing the film. I find myself seeing Emma Stone as Bella, but thus far the other characters all seem too Scottish to be their cinematic counterparts.

  6. Bugonia: Not good.

    Unnecessary level of misogynistic violence, an ending with an unnecessary level of silliness, and a main male character that is pure toxic masculinity and sadistically cruel.

    Along with the ridiculous ending of #PoorThings (which should have stuck with the much better book ending), Yorgos may be too self-indulgent.

    I love #Dogtooth, but these two fail in overall story, for me.

    Still gonna try his previous work 🤞🏿

  11. #Movies . . .

    Just finished listening/watching (more listening than watching) #Bugonia (2025) another 1 of the 10 movies nominated for Best Picture at the #Oscar awards ceremony tonight.

    It's a bizarre #movie that won't win, which is similar to the odd ball #movie -- #PoorThings -- that #EmmaStone also starred in.

    The movie is about this cray guy who kidnaps Emma Stone's character because he thinks she's an alien from outer space but it then turns out that the women is really from outer space. Really??? LOL!!! 🤦‍♂️

    Anyway, it's a dumb movie which is why I listened to it more than I watch it.

    Tried to watch the other 2 Best Picture nominees that I haven't seen yet but they're both foreign language films -- in whole or part -- but my #AltStreaming channel doesn't have the sub-title tracks. So, there's no point in my watching them unless I can find a channel that includes those tracks.

    Not recommended unless you like this kind of thing. 🤷‍♂️

  13. Pairing the movie “Poor Things” with an equally complex #stouturday #stout

    #903brewers Winter Wonderland Ogre

    Amazingly complex, oak, chocolate, molasses, vanilla, roasted malt, boozy ending with a sustained light bitter sweetness. Smashing!

  15. I finally got to watch #PoorThings. If you like morbid and horny humour in a 1880s #steampunk setting, it's quite entertaining. If the Born Sexy Yesterday trope makes you uncomfortable, it's not for you, obviously.
    If you haven't heard about it, it's a film about a woman who was made in a lab, Frankenstein style, by a second generation mad scientist who is also a Frankenstein type monster. She learns to talk within a few days, then she discovers masturbation, and soon she runs away with some playboy. The men around her try to keep her under control and fail miserably, often in a quite funny manner. Somehow she manages to survive and even thrive in that misogynistic environment. And of course she's naked and having sex quite a lot. Sick morbid humour all the way through. Very disturbing sometimes.

  17. Ik moet zeggen dat #PoorThings (2023) tot dusver toch wel een erg vermakelijke variant is op Frankenstein. 😌

  18. I just watched the #movie #PoorThings. 📽️Go and watch it too. It's one of the best movies I have seen in years. The aesthetics, the music, the story...👌 And actors! Emma Stone is just wonderful there.

  20. Der Arthouse-Kinomarkt ist gesund. Kann ich bestätigen. #EmiliaPerez war am Samstag in der Nachmittagsvorstellung gut besucht. #PoorThings letztes Jahr war fast so voll wie #Barbie.

    Zivile Preise hat das lokale Kiez-Kino noch dazu. Nix mit 13 Euro für die Kinokarte und nochmal 5 Euro für‘n Getränk. Allerdings zeigen sie auch keine Werbung. Wann soll ich denn da meine M&M‘s essen, ohne jemanden zu stören?

  21. #poorthings #filmempfehlung #steampunk wow, was für ein Film! Ein Schmaus für die Augen, opulent, lustvoll. Und gleichzeitig ein Manifest der Freiheit, besonders der Befreiung der Frau. Ich mochte jede Minute. Und Emma Stone: eine Naturgewalt!

  24. last night on a whim we decided to watch Poor Things. Holy crap the trailers didn't do this phenomenal film justice. It's absolutely extraordinary and well worth your time. #PoorThings #Film #Movies

    2 películas rarunas, “difíciles de ver” para much@s, que me han gustado.
    2 perspectivas de un mismo tema de fondo: la evolución brusca de mentes infantiles contenidas en cuerpos de adulto.
    Pura coincidencia que las haya visto en 2 días consecutivos, sin saber qué tenían ese hilo común.
    Se agradecen opiniones.
