Quite optimistic of me to think both Rudd and Robinson would actually act in this, but I think it wasn’t too unreasonable for me to think at least ONE of them would try something different. 

Nevertheless I liked it. It baffles me as a movie but I liked the shots I liked the score (been using it as reading music 👍), and it’s way better than that new marvel that’s supposed to be nuts.

Upgrades people upgrades

Viva la revolution

Second movie in a row where I liked a particular eye effect. Spoiler-y thought below.

I really liked this movie/the climax of this movie when I viewed this as a group not trying to save the world but as a group trying to save a single hurting person. I liked the group hug.

I loved the thing with the eyes. I heard it was inspired by Puss in Boots 2? Rock star shit, Coogler.

Plays like a Todd Solondz film and if you watch it through that lens, this sorta rocks.

The iron golem scene made me emotional.

Not everything needs to be adapted. Not every film “inner transformation” has to have glowing or changing eyes either.

Celebrated my 27th birthday with a viewing of The Celebration on the big screen.

Adam Pearson deserved a nom.

I liked the orange light in the coop.

This rocked. 🎳

Doesn’t hold a candle to Okja, or any other Bong film for that matter. Not sure why I singled out Okja.

Kinda speechless about this one. Went into it blind and on the tail end of an edible but once I realized what was going on I sat forward and watched the rest with my jaw on the floor in front of me, right next to my popcorn.

Fuck it. A Complete Unknown 5 ⭐️. I ain’t gonna work on Maggie’s farm no more.

Accidentally watched on Lynch’s birthday. 

Will this be my most important film viewing of the year? It’s possible. 

I was one of the people who thought David was going to live forever.

If any of the “stop putting unnecessary sex scenes in movies” crowd comes for this, I will serve on the frontlines to fight them. I will defend that hand job scene till my dying breath.

Most beautiful ending scene (don’t misinterpret this pls)

Was very happy when I saw Henry Czerny’s name in the opening credits.

Watched on Friday December 20, 2024.

IMAX

The type of movie where someone can pop an edible and it doesn’t matter what scene is playing when it starts the hit because there are so many great “edible starts to hit” scenes. 

My edible started to kick in just before Coop leaves Murph.

Loved the dialogue and Hugh Grant gives possibly my fav performance of the year. Made me want to pray more I’m serious.

Had a lot more depth than I expected.
Liked this.

Minecraft (2025) should be a stealth remake of this.

This was almost interesting.

It’s a good time at the theatre. I liked Hemsworth but they aren’t exactly reinventing the wheel here. Kinda the same movie as the first just now we knew what to expect.

Viggo, man. 
🤌🤌🤌🤌

No one expected Wes Ball to be better than Matt Reeves so I’m not mad at this being inferior to the previous trilogy. I don’t even think inferior is the right thing to say, it’s got totally different storytelling going on. Interested to see where they take this storyline. Kinda weird watching this movie as someone whose name is Noah.

First 10, 15 minutes I thought this was a dud. Powell proceeded to prove me wrong. A dub.

Surprised at how jarringly better the final fight scene’s choreography is compared to the albeit decent but inferior rest of the movie. Also, why wear the awesome masks if you are going to take them off after 3 seconds.

You couldn’t make this in 2024. 
They would say “this was already made by David Cronenberg and it’s awesome.”

Some of the most powerful filmmaking I’ve ever seen. PSH is otherworldly.

I fail to see the appeal of this film in any facet.

Do the people who made this like movies? Do they like making movies? Like this was all competently made and all but did they have fun? Did the makers of this film wake up and go “I’m living my dream of making movies” and then went off to make this competent movie? (Competent is an insult btw)

Who funded this tf like they needed a lot of money to make this. I’m so mad the Gene Wilder segment made me laugh the most (only a little bit).

This review may contain spoilers.

All of us Charlie St. Clouds. 

I really liked this until the reveal. Nearly made me drop it to 3.5⭐️. Possibly the most beautiful looking film from last year. Give Andrew Scott that last best actor slot.

Haven’t seen much praise for the script (which I understand, since there is *so* much other stuff to praise) but the clever dialog had me chuckling throughout the film. That, paired with the writing needed to build the world before our eyes, takes a lot of skill and I’ve known Yorgos to have that skill ever since I read the screenplay to The Lobster (one of my all time favs and the reason I have fake lobsters in my apartment as decor). 

I am so excited to see if Ramy Youseff takes Yorgos’ advice and transitions to filmmaking. Big fan. Im seeing him do standup in February.

Harris Dickinson sneaky best performance in the movie. Everyone else is good too even Mike.

DERMOT MULRONEY

(not bad)

a masterclass in framing and composition. I swear I’ve seen this film’s influence in PTA’s work.

Loved every frame of Adam Driver. Don’t sleep on the opera scene. Jaw dropping ending. Might have to watch Heat (1995) now.

A simple film about a complicated man.

Felt unchallenged watching this, for better or for worse.

.

laughed a few times and the cinematography was not bad. pj was almost unbearable. Ayo ily.

every time they said his last name… cinema right there

holy shit

Not saying that you NEED a climax/structure to tell a story, but if you don’t, please don’t also be boring. 

Vignette-y and fairly dull considering nearly every scene about Priscilla is more about Priscilla in regards to Elvis. Naming this “Priscilla Presley” would be more thematically inline with the thesis of this film (even tho that’s a bad title)

breathtaking.

clouds hands and the occasional eye

she wrapped her leather jacket in a plastic bag yeah ima have to run this back at 11:30pm in bed alone with my thoughts

the court scenes were lit so well. camera work got a bit tedious imo. palme d'or?

In the notes you can find a small message about why I love the movie so much but aint nobody got no time for that

1. Her

   The soundtrack alone has contributed to many hours of sadness. My ultimate depression movie that also has moments of pure happiness riddled in there to make this a good watch at any occasion.

2. Paterson

   I want love like that

3. The Revenant

   Leo’s acting aside, it’s gorgeous to look at and Ryuichi Sakamoto’s score is possibly my favourite of all time. Mexican filmmakers have a special place in my heart.

4. In the Mood for Love

   I’ve seen this so many times but I still don’t what happens, I just the sadness 😂😂😂

5. Moonlight

   Amazing how I didn’t like this on my first watch. Now Ive seen it countless times and it’s pure emotion captured on screen. Unpopular opinion: ch. iii is my favourite.

6. Annie Hall

   I would watch this again and again JUST for that closing monologue but besides that there are great scenes that just demand a smile. I particularly love the lobster scene.

7. Mommy

   The scene with the song “Experience” by Ludovico Einaudi.

8. Phantom Thread

   Glad Phantom Thread made the top 10, there wasn’t mushroom left. 

   I’m hilarious

9. Good Morning

   Like Swiss Army Man, this film greatly utilizes farts, and should be rewarded for it.

10. Eraserhead

    “wow! you ARE sick” -a quote from the movie but also me talking to David Lynch
