Yesterday

2019

★★★½ Liked Rewatched

To have Richard Curtis rewrite a dark, dystopian promise into a sappy, by the numbers exploration of fame, and to have that directed by Danny Boyle makes hardly any sense.
Biggest takeaways:
Paul wrote all the songs worth ing (supposedly)
Always listen to John Lennon, never listen to a word from Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran's manager is probably a lovely person, and is lambasted by Kate McKinnock. Kudos to the rest of the cast for teetering between tolerable and pitiable.
Somehow better and worse to watch as a fan of The Beatles
We need a dystopian movie musical

The Substance

2024

★★★½ Watched

The first film I've watched in a month and a half. And what an experience. I found it to be very on the nose in its message, but the final 45 minutes is so much fun, I stopped caring. It was great to watch it in the African bush with some new friends

★★★★ Watched

Take away the objectification of women, the pseudo fantasy, the cliches, predictability, and the hit or miss dialogue, and you'd be left with a good film. But you'd also be left with no film at all. I liked it anyway for some reason.

I'm so disappointed. I expected better. I don't even know what happened
