WTH makes you think THAT'S what they looked like? <aimed at whoever made the video>

Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon which is about the murder of numerous Osage Indians and others back in the 1920's when oil was found on their reservation and the subsequent investigation by law enforcement including a 'Bureau of Investigation' led by a 29 Year Old J. Edgar Hoover.



Looks pretty intense. The actual historical events revolving around murdering Indians in order to get oil inheritance rights were brutal as well so the film might try and match that historical tone.

Another Killers of the Flower Moon trailer released, this one a more proper formatted one and thus far less cool then the teaser as it explains the general plot.



Less amped... but I mean... still intrigued by this potential CINEMA release.

Agreed. Where are the feathers? I thought all of these dinosaurs were massive murder chickens. The remade Dinosaur looks like an annoyed amphibian. If the feathers aren't historically accurate (which he seems to argue) then keep the old design. No one is terrorized by the naughty two legged newt nomming on fools.

OMG the raptors look derpy as hell. 😭

I'm going to have to watch the original movie to purge these cursed images from my mind.

DOWNVOTE. UNSUBSCRIBE.

Nice work on the animation though. Won't take that away from them.

Oooooo a new Hot Wheels movie to see with the kids.



Wait... what... why?

on the one hand I kinda want to see it. on the other J.J. Abrams... I don't know put it off till you see some reviews and see it either as a cheap matinee or once it is streaming? I just don't trust him after trek and wars and what he did there.

One of the trailers shown as a preview to The Sound of Freedom was a historical biopic called Golda which seemed to be about Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir during the 1973 Yom Kippur War.



Helen Mirren stared as the titular character. Looks pretty captivating. Oddly I couldn't find the English/American trailer on the Web yet, just this one where it's in English but the subs are in some strange foreign tropical language. Maybe @TheRejectionist knows.

Also noticed Moshe Dayan in the background, looking like a damn pirate! 🧐

It says a Woman of a Nation. Very generic sub-title.

Weirdly enough Israel does have fans in Brazil, most recently dating to Bolsonaro because of his Evangelical-Protestant connection despite Israel current treatment of Christianity. Also their help during one of Brazil emergencies.
Of course any thing that could have come to fruition went up in smoke with Bibi and Lula returning to power.

I am ambivalent to the Israel, I used to call myself politically pro-Zionist, but then I did some calculations on the country.

And say this as someone who might (potentially) be the nephew of a Jewish Italian businessman by my father side.

I mean you can enjoy a historical movie regardless of ideology. Letters from Iwo Jima was a film from the Japanese perspective an it was a wonderful film. Or something like Downfall or Jojo Rabbit or God's & Generals in regards to the American Civil War or the TV show Vikings etc.

From the trailer alone it looks like a suitably interesting point of history with an exceptional (independent of ideology) Woman who was at the center of it.

I can give it a try just like I will in the future to that pro-propaganda Zero airplane WW2 movie that I have in my 1500 movie collection.

Yeah back in the sixties and seventies Hollywood was able to make films that actually showed World War Two from multiple points of view without being a moralistic struggle session. Same with the American Civil War. Who knows if such a lost art can ever be rediscovered again.

Something a tad bit more cheerful.

Updates from Deadpool 3 :

Since Mongolia doesn't often produce genre films, Disorder is a rare treat. Batdelger Byambasuren's debut certainly comes across as horror in that first minute, seeing as it opens with a young woman trapped inside a burning room, screaming for help. The film then reveals the sequence was a mere nightmare. However, an external shot of the same character's immediate environment, a foreboding and carceral school, ensures the audience that this is indeed a horror story. Of course Disorder has a tendency to toy with perceptions, even without its characters or viewers realizing that fact.
Schools are often used to illustrate critiques about government and society, especially in horror films from Asia. From Whispering Corridors to Detention, the school is a perfect setting for addressing and digesting bigger political and social concerns. To an unaware observer, Disorder is reproaching the elites who give their children an unfair advantage in life by buying them good education and opportunities that most others can't afford. Enforcing that understandable assumption is this boarding school's principal (Byambatsogt Dashnyam) selling his unique teaching method to prospective students' parents and families. This institution works under the scientific belief that the brain functions at its fullest at night. Hence why all the students attend classes in the evening.

Away from all the business talk are said students taking yet another test. Their strict instructor, Tsezen (Oyundary Jamsranjav), conveys the sinister atmosphere of the school with only her severe appearance and a volley of snarled commands. As she butts heads with one disobedient pupil, the plot of Disorder becomes clearer. This class is working toward becoming lawyers. And if Garid (Bat-Erin Munkhbat) hopes to help his father get out of prison, he needs to ace the final exam. Studying the old-fashioned way isn't going to cut it, so Garid and his two friends, and the student from the film's opening, Enerel (Nomin-Erdene Ariunbyamba), devise a complicated cheating strategy. Their doing so only then leads to startling revelations about the school.
As the four main characters execute their plan, with plenty of setbacks to keep viewers on the edge of their seats, the film begins to lose grip of its horror setup. The suspense is definitely overwhelming, and Tsezen and her associates resemble oppressive villains, but exam fraud is not exactly scary. Something feels off about Disorder in that second act. Soon enough, though, everything starts to make sense as well as fall into place. The film takes a huge risk that not many viewers will have seen coming.
Disorder makes bold moves toward the end. Something this sizable could be detrimental elsewhere, yet here it makes for a more intriguing if not convoluted story. The audience could have easily turned on the film at this moment. Having said that, Byambasuren actually augments natural sympathies for these characters trapped in an unfortunate situation. The downside of this story disruption is that anything beyond it doesn't measure up, and it doesn't quite merit rewatch value. The real conclusion also proves to be a touch anticlimactic and rushed. Nevertheless, Disorder is an almost thoroughly exciting journey that will be best remembered for its unpredictability.
Disorder was screened during the 27th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (BIFAN).
