not to be the guy who says stuff like "they don't make em like this anymore", (because i do firmly believe that great art can transcend any era), but it's hard to imagine something like this being put out today when most of what we get now is poorly shot with a bloated budget that relies too heavily on cgi and overstimulating editing techniques just to be dumped on some streaming service. this was the real deal!!!! where did we go wrong? (rhetorical)

giving the almighty dekalog another stab because i've always had a tender spot for kieślowski but am ashamed to say i never finished the whole series

and my god this first entry is jaw dropping. some of his best work, i think, even on its own. i've thought about it quite a lot in the almost 3 years since i first saw it. almost a shame it didn't get its own extended movie like episodes 5 and 6 did with short films about killing/love. and with a heart wrenching ending that probably serves as a good test to see if the rest of the series, and his work at large, is your kind of thing. it is VERY much my thing, so i'm back for more

fun fact: in 88' my dad tried to convince my mom to name my older brother duncan idaho from his favorite book, dune. my mom said no, but somehow they agreed on dylan for his middle name, after this weirdo. so kudos to timmy for making these recent movies, if only so my old man can enjoy them

not to sound predictable but this was so silly and cute and genuinely kinda life affirming at the end... which is like yeah! of course! it is a paddington film after all

Watched on Monday February 10, 2025.

uh so anyways... a few films i recommend instead of this: monica and sujo

to the absolute diva behind me in the theater who kept her singing mostly contained throughout but then belted out the big line in defying gravity: well queen, that was certainly a choice

gargantuan. there is a single shot near the end of this film where felicity jones nearly steals the whole thing in one fell swoop. over three hours in and i could hardly believe the build up had led to such a simplisticly monsterous scene, and so much of it clicked miraculously into place for me right then. the first half is a deconstruction of the american dream, and the second half takes a sledgehammer to it. this is the kind of movie we should be going to the movies for

made my father watch this on new year's eve right before midnight and it was everything to me. i do think it traumatized him a little and he also had nightmares that night but i still don't regret it. love you dad!

love the vibes but that mustache was SO unserious... behaving like he wanted the baudelaire fortune

another year, another request to make this embarrassing list 😭

• The High Note

  for those of you who follow me on twitter, we all knew this would be here so i won’t even take back some of my dignity by pretending. so YES this was a dakota johnson thirst watch, and YES it WAS worth it (tracee ellis ross though!!!)

• Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)

  jurnee smollet!!! mary elizabeth winstead!!! margot robbie!!! you didn’t really expect me to keep this movie off the list, did you?

• Tenet

  you already knew before you even started reading! this movie is a hot fucking mess but 6’3 debicki had a VIP invitation to my heart this year regardless!!!

• Shirley

  the more i think about this weird movie, the sexier it is. we don’t need to talk about it just know that i’m right

• Happiest Season

  the main trio of women ranked by attractiveness to me in this particular role and why (i am so wrong for this):

  1. aubrey: it’s the air of mystery. and also the gayness
  1. kristen: it’s just the gayness, point blank
  3. mackenzie: it pains me to rank her last but it’s that WIG! she gave us that timeless look in terminator and we had to pay for it some time

  *alison brie is not on the ranked list because she scares me in this role

• Black Bear

  YUP! unhinged aubrey plaza is hot to me, i’m very complex and very gay

• Summerland

  GEMMA!!! GUGU!!! GEMMA AND GUGU!!!  ALL CAPS

• Kajillionaire

  gina mostly, but yeah! evan too! don’t look at me, i’m not the one who made them kiss

• The Lovebirds
