Poor Things (2023)
A mostly disgusting movie that could have been good.
Some aspects of this movie were actually good. I liked Willem Dafoe's work in this, but I usually like any work that he does. Visually it's quite impressive, and the costumes are well-done. But roughly 1/3 of the way into the movie, it veers into the grotesque.
First off, you really wonder why Emma Stone would agree to this movie. For roughly 30 minutes, she is naked and is having sex with a variety of men. This part just goes on and on. Her character is not mentally-developed enough to know that she's being abused. She does enjoy the sex, but has no concern that her customers seem to be a series of disgusting men. The whole "brothel segment" is like so many of the sex scenes in Hollywood - it's just a physical act, there are no emotions, no caring.
Anyway, I have almost no doubt that if this movie did not have the sex scenes, Emma Stone would not be up for Best Actress, and Poor Things would not be up for Best Picture. This is the content that Hollywood wants to award these days. People should absolutely be warned before watching this, because it will try to steal your humanity.
Loose Change 9/11: An American Coup (2009)
** POSSIBLE Spoiler ** Anyway, this film is a piece of junk.
I watched this "documentary" recently, and boy, what a piece of junk. The movie makers just throw out all kinds of pretty-much random stuff. One thing that cracked me up - they talked about the people that were on the flight that hit the Pentagon... some of them worked for the ARMY, NAVY and many of them worked for LOCKHEED and BOEING!!!! Really? So people that worked in the Washington DC area had some connection to either the military or military contractors? WHAT A SHOCKER!!! Oh but wait, almost within the same breath the "film" is telling us that the Pentagon was not hit with a commercial aircraft. So which is it? Was the plane filled with DOD and contractor personnel, or did a missile hit the Pentagon? And what about the eyewitnesses on the ground that SAW a plane flying low and into the Pentagon?
Then there's the WTC issues. The 2nd plane that hit the WTC crashed into it very close to a corner of the building. Very soon after that, it's PLAINLY seen that about the upper 1/3 of the building was leaning over. If anyone thinks that a structure can have 1/3 of it's weight shifted like that and STILL remain upright.... well, such a person obviously lacks common sense. Sure enough, that building was the first of the 2 to fall.
Anyway, this movie is so ridiculous in it's omissions. I know there are other documentaries that debunk this movie. I'd definitely recommend that no one waste their time watching this garbage because it's so full of untruths and contradictions. You can ALWAYS tell that movies like this are a piece of crap - if they could rely on the truth to convince us, they'd merely tell the truth. But they can't do that - they tell half-truths, they leave out all kinds of proved facts, they give one version of the story when there are hundreds of people that can give another version.... sheer silliness is what this amounts to.
