IT Chapter 2 (2019): What makes you feel better

Sometimes a chat is feel much better than a voice call
Sometimes reply office email is feel much better than write a 400 words letter
Sometimes being busy is feel much better than being idle

Interesting rewatch movie

It might be the battle that already won story. Alhamdulilah

Nice Guys (2016): Melihat perjalanan hidup dari film

Sekitar 29 February 2020 saya mulai berlangganan Netflix dan berhenti berlangganan sekitar February 2024, atau sekitar 4 tahun lamanya in total. Meski terasa ringan, hanya Rp 120 rb, tapi akhirnya memutuskan berhenti setelah menemukan momentum yang tepat gara-gara kartu kredit expired.

Tahun 2024 ini hingga April sudah menonton 25 film atau sekitar 6.2 film per bulan. Mulai menonton film-film lama, sekitar 10 tahun yang lalu dan menemukan ternyata cukup bagus. Contoh Nice guys (2016) ini yang sudah dijadwalkan untuk menonton sejak dahulu tapi tidak pernah kesampaian, baru sekarang kesampaian.

• tahun 2023: 1 film: Super Mario (2023)
• tahun 2022: 3 film: Sonic The Hedghehog 2 (2022)
• tahun 2021: 31 film: 15 film + 3 film animasi + 13 film: Luca (2021), Peter Rabbit 2 (2021)
• tahun 2020: 50 film: 27 film animasi + 23 film: Coco (2017), Boss Baby (2017), Jumanji (2017),Zootopia (2016)
• tahun 2019: 18 film animasi: Ferdinand (2017), Emoji Movie (2017), Peter Rabbit (2018), Secret Life of Pets (2016)

Sekilas tahun 2020, merupakan periode terakhir menonton film bersama keluarga. Disini tidak ada lagi film yang bisa dinonton bersama-sama. Tahun 2019 merupakan periode terakhir menonton film animasi, Peter Rabbit (2018) misalnya yang sangat memorable. Tahun 2023 film sama sekali tidak dilirik, ketika sulung masuk SMA, dan bungsu masuk SMP. Maka hilang sudah. Minat untuk menonton film. Bungsu (2011) now 13 yo, year 1 SMP. Sulung (2008) now 16 yo, year 2 SMA.

Wave 3: 2023 – present: No netflix
Wave 2: 2020-2023: Netflix era, Squid Game (2021)
Wave 1: 2018-2020: Family movie era, ended when bungsu goes teenager (ABG)

Nice guys (2016)

05:37 well very strong story

Nice Guys seems getting the Pulp Fiction (1994) vibe
Everything just seems unpredictable, Holly March, The buddy’s enemy
55:32 Amelia’s mother another random

The good movie is full of surprise, unpredictable, the more random the better they are.

Dune (2024)

2h46m IMDB 8.7
2:27 Paul Atreides, I will take your daughter (so random)
2:28 I will fight Fyed-Rautha
2:35 Random love story

Emperor kill Vladimir Harkonnen

A primary theme of Dune and its sequels is Frank Herbert’s warning about society’s tendencies to “give over every decision-making capacity” to a charismatic leader. He said in 1979, “The bottom line of the Dune trilogy is: beware of heroes. Much better rely on your own judgment, and your own mistakes.”

Roadhouse (2024)

Simple movie, reluctant hero, everybody is loser hero. Good life
“Its hard to make living from selling a books”

00:48 killed by crocodile, so much randomness (unexpected, shocking). We are party animal, we need constant entertainment. 00:56 random drink the beer with female friend in the ocean. 01:07 so much random, Dalton team up with Ellie on drugs war. 01:17 meet Connor McGregor and give up -typical reluctant heroes. 01:22 for property business, burn also the book shop. 01:35 double cross, a bomb in the boat.

Beekeeper (2024)

00:10 advance scammer
00:13 more drama, verona
00:18 taking some from old is as worse as from child
00:20 burn, united data group
00:25 Josh Hutcherson, so random
00:43 Mother, this movie very random
00:53 Beekeeper keep working until it dies, highly capable and motivated
01:14 The presidentIMDB 6.4

The dumbest the movie the better they are. This is a unexpected, shocking movie. The Josh hutcherson vs Daniel radcliffe quirky bad guy vibes.

Notes: Every day is a mission, navigating a day is not easy.

02:08 attackbreak

IMDB 7.4 commercially successfull, this look a good movie, however it is 2h36m long movie. But let see. Drama need a women, just imagine Sicario (2015) without Emily Blunt. This movie remind me a lot of war on terror (2001-2021), basically the current Generation X history.

Jason Bourne (2016)

05:12 CIA langley
12:06 Heather Lee control
01:03:00 Is not about the money, London

IMD rating is low 6.6 but I watch the meme plenty of time.

The only way to control your mind is through discipline, the only way to win the war is through discipline. People should not work for money

Argylle (2024)

Big budget movie ($200m), 29m trailer viewer, however flop in box office, flop in IMDB 5.7, and I personally gives 1 star letterboxd. However, watching movie need discipline. The same message in this ramadhan. Movie, just like an art is metaphor of life.

However, unlike running where it has always a good things. Movie can be bad sometimes

Dallas Buyers Club (2013)

Trust IMDB of 7.9 rating recommendation, although movie a little bit rusty in 2013, lets give a chance of 1h56m for my morning workout. Actually this not really good, at 6 star IMDB rating.

00:08 leg accident
00:09 hiv
00:11 30 days to live
00:17 big pharmacy vs doctor (live)
00:41 going to mexico
00:13 drama

44:02 break

A story of poor cowboy, a very complicated 7.0 star IMBD, as it goes very complicated pharmacy industrial complex. Is not story to get drugs, but story get not cheated by big pharma

Interesting facts

• more male get HIV (83 of 100 is male, as receptive anal has 13% higher risk

“There are so many data that demonstrate that poor people, surprisingly, are less likely to use drugs than people with means.”

Guardians: Middle-class ‘consume more drugs and alcohol’ than poorest

Research has found that wealthy children are more susceptible to a variety of mental health issues including depression, anxiety, eating disorders and substance abuse. Studies reflect that wealthy children experience depressive symptoms at rates three-times as high as non-affluent children.

Cycle of punctuality: I know exactly what is going to be happened

Why 2h movie in weekend is sacred

If life is cycle of 24 hours, the third of it would be to work, to sleep and to have some fun. Today I wake up at 4, ready to work at 8. I start working by watching a movie

It is very important to have sufficient resources e.g 1) movie to watch; an activity to be performed e.g going to hair cut
