I watched London Has Fallen Today 

I had lunch with at my brother's and we have this weird bonding tradition of watching the dumbest action movies possible.

Never found "intentionally bad" movies fun.

I liked it. Lots of pew-pew.

Fucking Danny McBride on Alien Covenant??  WTF were they thinking?

[Josquius]

Thor Ragnarok, despite its somewhat stealthy release and the suckiness of the Dark World.... Was surprisingly good, even despite the lack of Earth bound action.
Feels like there's a Hulk  film missing though.

The Square (2017)

A Swedish film that seems to be a wonderfully wicked satire on the art world.  The plot deals with an installation; a square on ground with the words "The Square is a sanctuary of trust and caring. Within it we all share equal rights and obligations. " on a plaque next to it.  With such a banal work the museum's media group struggles to promote it.  They comes up with a novel way to promote the film, a Youtube video called "Blonde homeless beggar girl child explodes in the square."  I wont' give away what happens in the video; but it's one of the funniest things I've seen in film.

The director said that the film is actually about toxic masculinity.  I guess it could be.  To me most of the protagonists problems seem to stem from the fact that he's a colossal weenie.  In the moment of catharsis our protagonist experiences personal growth by becoming an even bigger weenie.  So I gather that, like the Buddhist quest for enlightenment, the quest to become a weenie can never truly be fulfilled; you can always be a bigger weenie.

The director has said that Jews run Hollywood, and that it's easy to win an Oscar by making a movie about WW2 or the Holocaust.

It's not Mel Gibson, is it?

Did I see that the best picture went to a movie about a woman who falls in love with a fishman?

Basically, yeah. Guillermo Del Toro's "The Shape of Water".
