Re: Wenders (in general). I believe that his movies went downhill roughly when he became (relatively) mainstream (mid 1990s?). I just have blurry memories of several of his works after Lisbon Story being beautifully shot but being weakly written. Maybe I just lost interest in his style, so I cannot add much.

Re: Russ Meyer.

….same definitely blurry memories again, but I remember that if you approach his (best) movies as exaggerated, “live action looney tunes cartoons with tons of skin” (but no actual fully explicit deeds, sadly), they are ok. I am pretty sure that I watched Beneath the valley of the ultra-vixens with friends while being extremely drunk and nevertheless we concluded the session by asking each other: ‘WTF did we watch?’ And ‘should we prevent Marco from ever choosing movies for movies night?’

Marco still resents us to this day :wink: (Also, 1970s Cans had their charms!)

War of the Worlds on Prime Video. I... have no idea what to say about it.
