Reported this shit to Netflix. I have my playback for buffering at the highest it can go, a "hack" that was recommended to prevent this shit, but no improvement when I originally did it months back. This is bullshit.

I have a small comfort in knowing I would have never made it as a detective..just finished EYEBALL from 75. Guessed wrong three times. I still thought it was a good movie though.

This would be more bearable if we weren't stuck with this married couple with will-they-won't-they divorce and fake bickering for the camera.

That will indeed be one of the five movies I'll be watching of the last day of October.

Out of today's five movies, The Severed Arm (1973) was the best. Had a lot of fun with it, likely because it is a proto-slasher. Reminded me a lot of Rituals (1977), only Rituals was a lot more well-rounded. Even so, The Severed Arm was hella fun.

Everything else was at least average, so luckily no bad movies today. Hopefully that trend lasts until the month ends.

Jigsaw.

Well there was blood I guess. Blood and a lot of “whodunit“ but slightly predictable. Maybe not. Maybe I just overanyzed it too much.

The plot thread of the Saws got really confusing after 3, so I'm not surprised.
