capitalism and its cure, kinda

The Twilight Saga: New Moon

2009

★★★ Rewatched

sooooo melodramatic

Friendship

2024

★★★★ Liked Watched

Film 3 of the May 2025 Scavenger Hunt
Task 10: Watch a movie about friends.

i spilled like a quarter of my large drink like a clown before this started and a bunch of the theater was looking at me right after that happened and when i was cleaning it up so i feel like my experience of this was personal like omg everyone's laughing at him for being a loser and me too!

Final Destination Bloodlines

2025

★★★ Watched

Film 2 of the May 2025 Scavenger Hunt
Task 28: Watch a sequel.

realizing that nearly every final destination movie could be solved (for the main protagonist at least) by people just following their guts instead of going along with peer pressure.

Until Dawn

2025

★★½ Watched

Film 1 of the May 2025 Scavenger Hunt
Task 12: Watch a movie with a title that has ten or fewer characters.

kind of bold of them to adapt a very "choose your own adventure" style game but i guess for that reason (and also the fact that the game itself is merely hinted at in the end) it mostly falls flat.

Pride & Prejudice

2005

★★★★ Liked Watched

would have been much shorter if they had a single conversation ever like please just talk

Thunderbolts*

The Amateur

i wanted to see drop but my parents wanted to see this so alas this we saw...

Drop Dead City

2024

★★★★½ Liked Watched

make new york city great again by recognizing that Reagan type economics killed this city's economic diversity by killing the strong protections it had for all people that made it the great city it was.

it's actually insane that a moderate republican (nelson rockefeller) was more economically left than most democrats today, we need to kill neoliberalism

i heard some people talking when we left the theater and they didn't like this but it's about my favorite period in nyc…

8½

1963

★★★★ Liked Watched

very surrealist and idiosyncratic as is the fellini way I guess! need to watch this at home so I can read all the subtitles because 15% of them were unreadable on the 35 mm remaster

On Swift Horses

2024

★★½ Watched

everybody was just in bed and that made me sleepy

like genuinely why was half this movie set in beds but just for chit-chatting it's not even like people were fucking like? at least then something would be happening.

Sinners

unfortunately find jack o'connell very hot in this. everyone did such a great job and while the social commentary does kind of smack the audience in the face i do not think that is a bad thing especially in a climate where people are apt to miss things even when they're obvious
