Hello, yes, it is me, Taran (or Brendan, whichever you wish to call me), and I'm back after 5 and a half years. I have stayed pretty involved with films (mostly from the 1920s through the 2000s) and did a very rewarding jaunt through retro TV shows, but to break the ice on this belated homecoming, I would like to know what some of your favorite films from 2020 on are, because I haven't gone out of my way to see many.
So far, my personal choices are:
Three Thousand Years of Longing Da 5 Bloods Are You There God, It's Me Margaret C'mon C'mon American Fiction Nightmare Alley Women Talking Parallel Mothers

Soul Dick Johnson Is Dead The Tragedy of Macbeth Red Rocket The Eternal Daughter RRR All of Us Strangers The Boy and the Heron In the Land of Saints and Sinners Dune: Part Two
I went with 2 films from each year of the decade so far. Made it easier to not overload the list with tons of films from only 1 year in particular.

Good to see you! I've been seeing your feed on Letterboxd from time to time, so I know you've been alive, at least. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/6692321/images/KAUR26Rad8w62aSMorQH.gif) 1. Red Post on Escher Street (Sion Sono) - The most "life-affirming" movie I've ever seen, a jolt of joy unlike anything else. 2. RRR (S.S. Rajamouli) - Maximalist euphoria, succeeding as a musical, as an over-the-top action movie, as a movie on the bonds of friendship, as a meditation on the cost of revolution, even as a heartwarming romantic comedy! Those are the big two, everything else is a long ways behind: Agnes (Mickey Reece) - Warning: I am the only person in the world who likes this movie. It is half riotous exorcism movie spoof (one review called it Scary Movie for exorcism films), and half gentle observation of a woman losing her faith and questioning God. Most people don't connect with one side or the other, but I got a huge laugh out of "My sister was possessed by a demon named Byooooooooon" and was stabbed through the heart with "I was even starting to love God." This is a curious film that won't connect with 95% of people, but those 5% remaining will find something extraordinary. The Artifice Girl (Franklin Ritch) - A movie about the rights and safety of children, and our responsibilities towards them as adults. Very talky and philosophical, but if you're into movies that are nothing but people discussing ethics for 90 minutes, BOY HAVE I GOT THE FILM FOR YOU. Emma. (Autumn de Wilde) - They made Jane Austen funny again! Fast & Feel Love (Nawapol Thamrongrattanarit) - A silly (and very, very funny) spoof movie wrapped around a delicate portrait of youth's aimlessness and avoidance of their problems. In a just world, Urassaya Spurbund (who speaks fluent English in this movie - she plays an American) would be a Hollywood star after a turn like this... but in a just world, Hollywood would be making movies that deserve her talent. The House (Emma De Swaef, Marc James Roels, Niki Lindroth von Bahr, Paloma Baeza) - An anthology black comedy about homeownership. Yeah, it's a bit niche. ![:laugh:](//storage.proboards.com/6692321/images/30ulL7PvEvGt97femFHx.gif) The three stories do a great job of connecting with each other thematically, exploring what a house *means* to the people who own it. The tales range from frightening (the first is essentially a haunted house story) to comedic (the second recalls David Lynch's Eraserhead) to heartbreaking (the final story about a landlord whose only tenants are friends that can't pay for the necessary upkeep of her house), with all of them forming a thesis together. Monica, O My Darling (Vasan Bala) - A wild murder mystery comedy about three men who all plan to murder a woman together... only for things to go very wrong, with our killers trying to figure out what happened before they are caught by the cops or killed by some other unknown murderer. Very breezy with a magnificent original soundtrack.
