Yeah and it's a haunted house film from the POV of the ghost. I'm really looking forward to it.

Where do you draw the line for "modern"? I have a soft spot for Gran Torino, but I don't think I've seen a later film of his that I liked. American Sniper in particular is jingoistic bullshit.

Clint's too old now bless him, but Juror #2 is particularly shite even for him

I liked some of his films in 00s. Overall he's not really a favorite of mine. But it's been a while since he made a very well received film I'd say.

I'm really curious to see that Nosferatu. That's definitely a good cast, though after having read more about Kinski, I really struggle to separate the man from the artist when I'm watching him. Awful person, mesmerizing actor. Hard to reconcile.

Most of his films are. Jingoistic, reactionary shite most of the time, with the odd decent output now and then.

Billion Dollar Baby was probably the last one I could stand. He’s a moron and now his movies are proud to display it.

Trying to watch The Northman now. What in the feck is up with these accents? I like that Amleth says “My father, my king” he must be a Mogwai fan. But seriously what the feck, Ethan Hawke and Nicole Kidman? Look, I get it: people get their favorites and they keep watching their films year after year. Why though? Hawke and Kidman are shit. I’ve been stuck with these two cnuts for decades. Ethan Hawke better die soon (in the movie). Robert Eggers is out of his mind.

Looked terrible, terrible accents, terrible actors, terrible performances and overall a movie I hated (until I stopped watching)
