As for movies I have seen recently: They're all D-tier absolute trash so nothing to really talk about there.
What kind of "D-tier absolute trash"? Is that like, B-movies but a bit further down the alphabet?
Yeah. B-movies are low budget but potentially enjoyable and sometimes well known. I've been watching absolute garbage you've never heard of like Winterskin (terrible-in-unenjoyable-way horror movie) and Jungle Master (stiff Chinese-made CGI children's film).

Sounds sick. I'll have to watch those sometime.
Have you seen The Law of Violence, Killer Nerd and Hansel and Gretel Get Baked? Some of the most irredeemable bad films I've seen.
Actually I should add a disclaimer, The Law of Violence is only for the truly masochistic. Watch at thy own peril.

These look almost half-competently made. What letter is a Neil Breen movie then?

A letter which encompasses all human knowledge and experience. A letter too perfect for this awful human world. A letter which will save all of humanity. That. Is a Neil Breen letter.

NBK is like my roommates favorite movie of all time. I mean it's about serial killers, it's not going to be a pleasant movie in the final analysis. Just like Blue Velvet isn't a pleasant movie to sit through.

I've never had any real desire to rewatch NBK, and I've deliberately rewatched American History X. So it's not like being shocked and/or depressed is something I can't appreciate. I think what gets me about NBK is the way their relationship is portrayed, how loopy and obsessed they are. It gives this sort of sad, almost idiot quality to everything that happens. NBK really feels like a product of its time.

Come for the gratuitous violence, stay for the sappy romance.

I have not, though Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters is actually pretty good all things considered. I should clarify that I don't seek out completely bad movies on purpose, my tastes just tend towards bottom feeding.

Speaking of which, if you like bad movies consider Independence Day: Resurgence. I probably don't need to tell you that a twenty year later sequel to a cheesy movie is bad, but I found it both impressively terrible and, unlike most awful movies I'm familiar with, absolutely made of money for the privilege.

Not familiar with him, but I suspect at the depths you're talking about the laws of man fail and entirely new scales of measurement are required.

A letter which encompasses all human knowledge and experience. A letter too perfect for this awful human world. A letter which will save all of humanity. That. Is a Neil Breen letter.
Or this, yeah. A transcendent letter, never before seen by this sinful world, which only coincidentally looks like somebody tried to write an N over a B and screwed it up somehow.

Speaking of good bad movies, Jesus Christ Vampire Hunter! The full movie is also uploaded on youtube.

I found out about R.O.T.O.R recently. The z-grade Terminator/Robocop knock-off. Worth seeing. Also: Hobgoblins for the worst-made Gremlins / Critters type knock off ever.

Gotta be honest. I am EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED that they retconned "Uh, Meeeoooowww?"

So, I watched El Camino.
It... didn't exactly reinvent the wheel, but I was pretty stoked to see some more of my favourite character. Won't say any more than that, since I can't be bothered carefully sorting any spoilers into a spoiler compartment right now.

As much as I liked Breaking Bad, I just couldn't bring myself to watch El camino past the first 20-30 minutes.... Maybe I quitted it too soon and it got better as the story progressed but up to that point it was just so damn boring.

I'm impressed.  The movie will still suck, but now its margin for error is even smaller since they remade the whole thing.

I finally watched goodfellas.  It was good, fellas.

I havent seen natural born killers, but a while back i watched the sadist on a cheap horror DVD pack I got at the flea market, based on the same crime spree.  Was expecting hilarious schlock, starring arch hall junior of Eegah! fame, and was disappointed to find it was really good.  Felt very prototypical of the hostage thriller genre, emphasis on how the protagonists fail to seize on opportunities, the classic 'cops show up' stakes-raising fakeout, and arch hall jr is really good as a demented creep

El Camino is also good
