A middle eastern vampire movie I believe. Supposed to be quite good.

Saw it quite awhile ago (I'm a bit of a trendsetter, no big deal) and it was hilarious. For sure check it out.
I most recently watched Awakened. It wasn't great, but I liked it overall.
I finally got around to watching Whiplash.
That's a firm 3 star film that has one scene so good right at the end that you find yourself wanting to give it an extra star. They certainly knew when to end the movie.
I also watched this:
Not worth the effort even though a person I respect recommended it to me. Would prefer to just watch Fitzcarraldo again.

This is a Mark Duplass movie. Although he is technically not a credited writer or director his fingerprints are all over it. Loved it.
I saw him in The One I Love. It was one of my favs of 2014, and it's one of the reasons I decided to watch Safety Not Guaranteed.
The One I Love was my favorite movie of the year.
He and his brother have written/directed some other movies as well. If you like films in that style I recommend Cyrus.
Will watch. Thanks for the rec.

Him and Jay are probably my favorite guys in the industry right now. I'll see anything they are even remotely involved in. Togetherness was great. Transparent was great. Cyrus is one of my top 5 movies. Safety Not Guaranteed was great. Jeff Who Lives at Home is amazing. Love the Duplasses
We are speaking the same language. Their ability to generate real tension over the totally mundane is essentially unparalleled.

I'm also a big fan of Noah Baumbach and Joe Swanberg who are KIND OF in the same vein. I really enjoy the mumblecore movement even though the name is idiotic.
I'm not a Baumbach fan. I think a big chunk of his films are mean-spirited, particularly the Squid and the Whale. He also seems to consistently get grouped in as a lesser version of other better directors. I have not seen Frances Ha and it is possible that might change my opinion.
I don't think I've seen any Joe Swanberg movies. Alas, I am a failure that knows nothing.

My god, The Squid and the Whale is soooo mean. But IMO its one of the funniest movies ever. Frances Ha is really good, certainly more of a fun movie than SATW. His new one looks very good also.
Swanberg does really good stuff. Drinking Buddies is fantastic. Happy Christmas is pretty good also. He's young but he's good.
I'm a big mumblecore guy. You should watch the show Togetherness on HBO. It's very mumblecore-esque.

Just finished it up last night actually. Loved it.

You think shes going to cheat?
I guess it's how you view cheating. On an emotional and somewhat physical (because they did kiss) level I think she already is. But will she have sex with him? I don't know. I'm assuming Season 2 will open with Mark's character walking in on them in some sort of capacity.
I was actually more intrigued with the fat guys relatoinship with amanda peet. That dude is a great actor. He was in another Duplass movie called the Do-Deca Pentathalon. Great movie as well.
Joe Swanbergs latest movie Happy Christmas is on netflix. It's not the best mumblecore movie but it stars Anna Kendrick which makes it a lot better.
When you get a chance see Save the Date (with lizzy caplan) and Laggies (directed by Lynn Shelton, she also directed Your Sister's Sister, another great mumblecore movie).

I don't remember them kissing? I could have been distracted by my annoying kids and missed it. Happy Christmas is fine, not great but not bad.
I swear I've seen Save the Date but the trailer doesn't look familiar. I must be losing my mind.
Unfortunately the other guy in the Do-Deca Penthalon is kind of trash. That movie was among the most disappointing for me.
Now Baghead, that's one that really got me going.
