Ruby: There are over 550 million firearms in worldwide circulation. That's one firearm for every twelve people on the planet. The only question is *take a sip from her milk box* How do we arm the other eleven?

I’m still baffled of how fucking fantastic this movie is, and how well it holds up even to this day, even the old CGI is charmingly dated.

In Lords of War, Yuri Orlov (Cage), the world’s most notorious gunrunner, discovers he has a son, Anton (Skarsgård), who isn’t trying to right his father’s wrongs — he’s trying to top them. Not only selling guns but the “trigger pullers” too, Anton is amassing a mercenary army to fight America’s Middle East conflicts. This is the story of Yuri and Anton’s bitter rivalry — even at odds over the same woman. Who will prevail when father and son go to war?

'As Cillian Murphy receives some of the best reviews of his career for Oppenheimer and seems incredibly likely to score an acting nomination at the Oscars next year, you may be eager to delve more into his past work.
And one movie of his that has built up a cult following in the years since its release is In Time, a 2011 sci-fi with an incredible premise.
Written and directed by Andrew Niccol (Gattaca, Lord of War), the film is set in a future in which time has become the ultimate currency. Yes, time literally is money.
This is as humans have been genetically engineered to stop aging on their 25th birthday, but are programmed to live only one more year - unless they can buy their way out of death.
As such, the rich can essentially remain immortal, while the poor are forced to beg, borrow or steal to earn enough hours to survive.
The movie follows a factory worker (Justin Timberlake) from the poorest ghetto who, with the help of a wealthy woman (Amanda Seyfried), aims to upset this system - while being pursued by a timekeeping cop (Cillian Murphy).
Upon release, In Time was a box office hit, grossing $174 million on a $40 million budget. However, it was seen as a bit of a critical disappointment, only earning a 37% Rotten Tomatoes score.
That said, while the general consensus surrounding the movie is that it does not fully capitalise on its very intriguing premise, it has garnered a legion of fans in recent years.
Amongst the praise for In Time is the way the film depicts the stark division between the rich and the poor, as well as the amount of time certain people in society have to give up to work just to stay afloat.
One Letterboxd user wrote:
"I really love the concept of this movie and it has a great political message [about] the real world where the top 1% have so much money they don’t know what to do with it and they’re overcome with greed while a big portion of us are struggling to get by day to day unable to get medication/food/essential things you need to survive."
Another reviewer added:
"Time has become currency and everyone is on borrowed time once they stop aging at 25 years old. The rich have no problem living forever, while the poor are constantly struggling to add time to their lives and finding time to pay bills... Loved the story and the class war commentary."
A third said: "Rewatched this movie after such a long time and I still love it. The concept is really interesting and I love how it still emulates our society," while another wrote: "This is one of my favourite films, the concept is just so interesting, I would kill for a sequel or a series set in this universe."
Meanwhile, a fifth Letterboxd user joked: "This movie made me a communist when I was 10."'

Ok ok, hear me out. I by NO MEANS like Jared Leto as a person, but why are people flat out saying he can’t act? Like sure if you look at Suicide Squad or Morbius, as your sole source then maybe. Even then I’m bias, because I love Morbius with my whole soul.

But I digress. He’s not an awful actor. In fact two of my favorite films of all time have him in it. Look at American Psycho or Requiem for a Dream. Both films are stunning and wouldn’t be the same without him in it. Like I said, he’s not a good person. But he does know how to act, when the role he’s given is properly type casted. So maybe he’s not a GREAT actor, cause his range is limited. But in range he’s not shit.
