this is a movie that I made with my friends over 3 years! I actually still don't believe that we played it in our local theatre and that nearly 200 people came to see it. cast, crew, family, friends, and just regular people from Perth who I have never met before. there is an aspect to writing this letterboxd note that is not familiar to me as a film watcher, and that is actually seeing and reading every single human being's interpretation of this work and knowing that this is my own work that has been experienced by other people and that is so beautiful.

there is such a ridiculous cat in the hat-style of world building here that makes speed racer feel completely divorced from reality. it somehow does this in a way that erases the line between absurd comedy and heartfelt storytelling. the final act uses its wacky cartoon-style aesthetic to deliver a powerful emotional climax.

the crowd in our cinema was more excited to see vernon taking his jacket off than when cap caught mjolnir in avengers endgame

kpop is an existential terror

my sincere letterboxd review would say how there will be blood is an immaculately put together film about the evil injustices of capitalism personified, and my insincere letterboxd review would say that this is a dramatic reinterpretation of the life of the Monopoly man
