great old noir movie with some enthralling twist and turns throughout. i also love the slick way everyone especially marlowe talks in this movie. also the cool demeanor marlowe has throughout the entire movie was a treat to see

Man i’m sick. What an incredible show. bureaucracies never cease to make me sick in stories like these, where unmitigated horrors are caused by men wanting promotions at great costs. 

Coincidentally, while i was watching this show yesterday, a biolab explodes in atlanta where i live and today we received an alert through the city to stay indoors as a chlorine smelling cloud begins to cover the city. hopefully nothing comes of it, but i find this all to be really tragic luck.

but on a more cheerful note this is my 1000th movie watched!!! (i’m counting it) so that’s nice

this kid reminded me so much of my past self that it physically hurt at times but i loved it so much. i don’t know how to put this into words but i loved this so much. so funny, so sweet, and so relatable.

that was one of the greatest movies i have ever seen in my life. also the longest at a whopping 4 hours straight. but that was one of the best experiences i have ever had in a movie ever bar none. the last 30 minutes of this movie was just tears and awe. that is the realest most courageous friend group of all time. YOU BOW TO NO ONE!!!!!!!!

the third act of this movie is one of the single greatest third acts i’ve ever seen in my life. i had no real idea what to think about going into this one since i knew nothing past fellowship, but oh my god. oh my god. The battle of helms deep is the best major battle ive ever seen. and i got to see this in theaters for the first time too??!!!!! incredible 

how the hell are they gonna top this??????
and this is officially the longest movie i’ve ever seen in theaters. at least until tomorrow with the finale

i haven’t seen this movie in a long number of years and i don’t think i gave it the attention it deserved back then. but seeing this in theaters was something truly special. and i still have the extended cuts of both the two towers and return of the king to watch in theaters in the next 2 days. about 8 hours of greatness left and i can’t wait

oh my god. that was incredible. i can’t put into words why i liked it so much but i genuinely thought it was incredible. i’ve known about this movie for years but i knew next to nothing about the plot so this is a surprise to me. rarely a dull moment in this movie for me and it got me to stay focused for the entire time

i am genuinely shocked by how much i loved this movie. it was incredible. wayyy more intense then i ever could’ve thought it would be, and very fucking horny. and the soundtrack was surprisingly omnipresent and just as good. but the definitive best part of this movie for me was zendaya easily. it’s been insane watching her career grow from watching her on disney channel back when i was a kid to seeing her become a juggernaut of entertainment as…
