Miguel Howard @milkshakedisco.bsky.social · 2hHope (Na Hong-jin, 2026) /// What a combination of things and emotions. Still can't tell if it's taking the piss out of american hero disaster films and big franchises with cliffhangers or if it's a sincere sci-fi action comedy romp. Gripping first hour for sure. 000
Miguel Howard @milkshakedisco.bsky.social · 12/10/2026A Streetcar Named Desire (Elia Kazan, 1951) /// Amazing to see this on a big screen. Two of the greatest performances in north-american cinema. Leigh and Brando coming from different productions of the play makes for such a compelling clash, so good! Leigh evokes pity and terror. 020
Miguel Howard @milkshakedisco.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Resident Evil (Zach Cregger, 2026) /// Abrams is a good loser. A great companion to RE7 and the other more recent reboot games, putting Abrams (player-protagonist/us) in the shoes of the frightened little useless people we'd all be in this situation. 000
Miguel Howard @milkshakedisco.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Silent Friend (Indikó Enyedi), 2025) /// What a curious film with rich ideas. Don't know what to make of it but it made me think about our relative natures. 001
Miguel Howard @milkshakedisco.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Yellow Letters (İlker Çatak, 2026) /// Was more interested in The Teacher's Lounge. This one is even more bourgeois liberal ambivalence via academic kitchen table drama. Too precise of a film, it's too angry to make a good point. 000

Was a little surprised by the narration. I typically find this kind of VO annoying, condescending, faux-deep. But it works 000
Miguel Howard @milkshakedisco.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The Invite (Olivia Wilde, 2026) /// A fun cinema watch, plenty of people laughing at a real adult comedy. Adult in the real sense of the word, not the american way. It was fun to go to this with a friend couple without them knowing what it was. I gave them a look across the bar type thing. 000

Reposted by Miguel Howardmelos han-tani (Danchi Days out Oct 29!!) @hantani.bsky.social · 09/09/2026You can view Nintendo (or other corps') remakes/anniv. events like nations reiterating founding myths. E.g. a Zelda remake detethers the game from its original historical circumstances. And anniv events frame a series as originating with a single game that evolves in isolation, not in conversation 311116

Miguel Howard @milkshakedisco.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Tokyo Olympiad (Kon Ichikawa, 1965) One of the most beautiful things I've seen in the cinema. All of the american sports docs and broadcast took all their game from this. It feels so contemporary and fresh. First half an hour or so is such a testament to humanity. 000

Miguel Howard @milkshakedisco.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Companion (Drew Hancock, 2025) Incredibly heavy-handed. It's got all the mainstream contemporary vapid buzzwords and manages to do very little with it. Kinda cute/light/incidental watch at home but I'd imagine I'd be irked if I'd watched it at the cinema. 000
Miguel Howard @milkshakedisco.bsky.social · 09/07/2026Magellan (Lav Diaz, 2025) So much can be achieved with a still camera. A little anthropological at times maybe...? The lovely natural light is exemplar in a big screen. 221

Reminded me of other films of the time due to some actors' presences and contributions. Depardieu/Miou/Dewaere, Rey/Molina, Mastroianni/Tognazzi/Giradot. Fairly funny with one truly horrendous scene that changed the tone entirely. 000

Miguel Howard @milkshakedisco.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Not keen on high-fidelity/realistic game visuals but to call them ugly is disservice to ugliness. There's a real cult of the ugly that is wonderful. The Sony, Microsoft, and now Nintendo OOT Remake stuff isn't necessarily ugly, just tacky crap. 020
