    From Bill Anderson@21:1/5 to All on Thu Jan 25 04:50:42 2024
    Peter Dinklage is the last man on earth, passing his days happily alone in
    a library by a lake, dining on fresh caught trout, reading the classics,
    and meticulously burying the bodies he finds when he searches for batteries
    in the neighborhood homes. But oh darn, another survivor in the form of
    Elle Fanning shows up to give the movie a plot. I was just browsing through
    the Prime Video offerings and came across this and it seemed intriguing and
    I watched it all, mostly because of the beautiful cinematography, the
    pensive score, and of the promise of Paul Giamatti. Eventually the story
    ran off the rails, way way off the rails, which is too bad because I was actually enjoying the thing. Is it a drama, a satire, a comment on our
    lives, a horror movie? I don’t know what it is and I don’t recommend you watch it. But if you do watch it I’d love to hear what you think you saw.

    I ran across the DVD in the bargain bin last August. The thing that
    stuck with me was how Dinklage seemed to mumble his way through the
    whole thing, not giving a much of a reaction to anything.

    From the director of Meadowland which I also own and enjoyed more. He
    started out as a cinematographer so it follows his films are going to
    look really nice.

    It's a drama mystery sci-fi. IMDb says so...

    So IMDB is confused too. Nice try, though.

    Yep, all perfectly true. One thing I missed, though, and while of course I could go back and have a look, I don’t really care enough to take the trouble. So maybe you can tell me what happened to the dog? Did Dinklage
    serve it for dinner? I’m guessing he did, but I didn’t see it happen.

    It seems like I remember that but I couldn't swear to it, it's been a
    while since I watched it and like you I don't want rewatch it anytime
    soon. :)
