I watch this movie and shudder to think that people think there's "political intrigue" in this shithole of a trilogy. I feel like the sequel trilogy made people reevaluate these, but the prequels are worse? I would rather watch the first two sequels than any of these three any day of the week. These movies suck and are solely saved by the good will Star Wars have with me and some of the most memorable shitty dialogue ever.

Nostalgia is so powerful though because I had fun while thinking about how much the movie sucked the entire time

This review may contain spoilers.

Honestly, probably not as close a watch as this deserved, was doing a running commentary track with a friend. That meant I really enjoyed the pettiness and drama of it all. When Sister Agatha does her little curtsy after dropping a bomb???? Chef's kiss.

There is also some interesting stuff to dig into here but I think I might have missed it by having too much fun with the drama. All I know is I was team Benitez the whole way

I just love soft emotionally squishy guys showing love for each other. What else is there to say? Also, the Shire section and the wedding in the Godfather should go down together as the longest sections of film where nothing really happens but I could live in for forever

I can't beat it... I can't beat it

Every once in a while I like to watch this. Weirdly I have always found it to be a comforting movie. It can be bleak, yes, but it also has streaks of humour throughout. I always leave this film ing that moving forward a millimetre is still a win. I love that feeling. Life is fucking hard and Lee's journey is a great reminder that any progress is progress. No matter how small. So yes, this is a comfort film in a weird, hopeful, and morbid way.

This is the most insane movie of all time

I fucking love Jiji

Absolute banger.

Sorry (not sorry), John Landis et al. I am just logging this to be pretentious so people can know I am cultured and just watched "Time Enough at Last" again for the first time in a while.

Nothing could’ve prepared me for the ending of this movie. Absolutely hilarious. Overall it was alright with some really high peaks.

Really really enjoyed this

This is one of the best experiences ever. Is it saccharine? Maybe. Is it too cutesy? Probably. Am I full of joy, tears, and a renewed sense of purpose? 100%.

This was so much fun!

This movie has a whole host of moral, ethical, and frankly creepy issues. However, it made me laugh and cry a loooooooot. Definitely not to be watched with too critical of an eye.

Bill Nighy is just so good in this. Probably a full star extra for his contributions

This was so much more fun to watch with a friend. Didn't really click the first time but this time... chef's kiss

I looooooved the performances in this. Tom Wilkinson’s Network-esque spiralling and Tilda Swinton’s just corporate insanity were very compelling. But idk, there’s something missing here I can’t put my finger on. Maybe just some mid aughts stench I can’t get over.

This review may contain spoilers.

I'm sure enough has been said about this but a couple of thoughts:

- I've never thought too much about the last scene with Carla-Jean so much but this time I think it stuck with me. I really love how she repudiates and diminishes his whole ideology by highlighting his agency with the coin flip. I also think it's powerful that this woman who doesn't factor so much in the plot gets to hold so much truth and power in her only real pivotal scene. Especially since masculinity plays a much bigger role in this than I ed.

- I love that no one gets what they want. The sheriff doesn't catch the bad guy, Anton doesn't get his money, and neither does Llewellyn.

- I love the scene with the sheriff's cousin, which kills the idea that things "used to be better."

This movie has a lot of issues. But for my first(!) Bruce Lee film I totally get the appeal. He's super charismatic and just so cool.

I think Jon Bois is my favourite film maker

I don't think there's a lot of substance here. I get it's trying to say things but I don't think it does that well or in an interesting way. Luckily, the action is good for the most part! But, the CGI is insanely poor. Some of the ugliest CGI monsters, boats, and landscapes put in the cinema in recent memory. Honestly, would've been better as a pure action blockbuster.

Also, Denzel was nuts and a lot of fun.

As someone who really enjoys Kieran Culkin's whole shtick and is a sucker for a mental health movie, definitely enjoyed this.

What a boring protagonist and plot. Maximus is effectively an exceedingly boring superhero. This also includes some of the worst slow-motion I've ever seen. But Joaquin Phoenix is such a smarmy little shit boy which was entertaining as hell, so I enjoyed some of it.

Chicken Feathers is the GOAT. I love that man. It got a little too cute and tried to be something it didn't need to be as the movie dragged on. But when it was funny, it was very funny.

Always hard to watch Canto comedy because I know my negative comprehension and English subtitles must be missing some puns and context. Still fun though!

I laughed a lot.

Absolute torture. Like dying but worse

No nostalgia for it because I never watched it growing up but a lot of fun!

Lots of thoughts.
- I had fun! Comedy, camp, and blood. 
- The technical stuff was really well done. The sound design was great too but the practical effects stole the show for me. 
- Demi Moore was great! Margaret Qualley too.
- Dennis Quaid was way way way too hammy. I get they’re going for parody but Jesus tone it down a notch.
- The big negative is that it didn’t have much to say. Strong conceptually, but at worst reinforced the fears of aging/body image issues more than they really critiqued them. Actually, other than the obvious feelings most have about the subject matter, there wasn’t really anything there. 
           - Although, I thought it was funny that Dennis Quaid called Sue a “little girl” when they first met even though she’s pretty tall.
- Lastly, way too fucking long for what it was. A lot of repetitiveness with the body horror and I swear to god I saw the same shot of Margret Qualley’s butt 4000 times. I get what you’re going for but sheesh. Especially with a 2.5 hour runtime that could definitely have aspects fleshed out.

Thank god for gift cards, wouldn’t have wanted to spend my real money on this. An old man trying to do so much. At points poignant (rarely), at points intentionally funny, at points unintentionally funny, and especially ugly to look at. Some of the worst CGI this side of the MCU. Just ugh.

There’s some positives tho! It was funny, Jon Voight’s last sequence was high art and there were a lot of good performances. The problem is the performances were hiding inside an absolute mess.

Also, Dustin Hoffman fit in this like a glove for some reason? Idk why, his character just felt like they actually inhabited whatever this was for some reason.

Lastly, not enough will be made about the amount of incest in this but it was so weird. No idea what it was supposed to serve or mean.

That was fun!! Minus half a star for having a OJ SIMPSON joke in a kids movie. What the fuck was that?

If you don't care about wrestling this would probably be a bit more interesting. Like covering the same shit they cover in every other documentary: Screwjob, Attitude Era etc... There were some nuggets like utilizing the different interviews to show Vince and the wrestlers as unreliable was cool. But yeah, nothing too new and as an absolute hater of this deplorable scumbag they went way too easy on some topics like Owen Hart or Benoit.

However, you get this feeling that Vince was not very forthcoming, which had to have affected how they constructed this. Especially, any moment where you can see almost everyone interviewed be a little afraid of and protective of Vince's image, knowing it could reflect on them.

Watch it, shame they didn't get to do more with the allegations and hopefully this living shitheel goes to prison.

Highlights:
- Bret Hart being a generational hater as always.
- Tony Atlas's general out of pocket behaviour
- Cutting things up to have Vince contradict himself constantly
- Phil Mushnick's (whose Wikipedia makes him seem like an asshole) moral righteousness was beautiful. He was right too.

This is just unbelievable to look at. From a visual standpoint, it’s amazing. The set design and general architecture of Macbeth's castle are so cool.

The witches are so good in this, especially in the first scene. Kathryn Hunter absolutely ate this. Howeverrrrrrrrrrr, it felt like Denzel wandered a bit into ham territory at times (but was overall very good) and Lady Macbeth is so lame in this! She feels completely devoid of all the interesting parts of the character. Also, the washing her hands scene was less interesting than it was in my head when I read it in high school which I’d say is a damning statement. While s McDormand is good in this, she feels wasted considering how dense the role is.

This seems so negative lol but this movie is gorg please look at it plus Macbeth is awesome so watch it for that too

Also, spoilers I guess? But fun fact this story is only one year older than fucking Jamestown so that’s your fault for not knowing.

E: Another thought, the action choreography for this was surprisingly good.

Love seeing Carrie Coon in this. More Carrie Coon in everything please.

I think I like the idea of this a lot more than I like the movie? I think I really enjoyed it thematically and especially the questions it’s ending poses but I definitely was checked out at times. Awesome ideas executed alright.

I fucking love this movie even for all it’s faults. No one says the same name the same way, the effects can be clunky (not to mention the unnecessary Lucas CGI additions), and there are insane wipes and transitions constantly. Still, I got chills when Luke decided to use the force to blow up the Death Star. A shot of nostalgia that IMO still an awesome movie regardless.

So tell me, with all that money and power, how come you always look like you want to jump off a cliff.

This movie gets it. Bruce Wayne is finally an interesting character in a Batman movie, thank the lord. Suffers a bit for being very short and just some children’s cartoon shenanigans but overall has the most interesting interpretation of a Batman origin story.

Now if we could just get someone to make a cool story with Dick Grayson in it pleaseeeeeeeee

How did we let 2006 get away with some of this? Some of the worst hats, scarves, and uses of jewelry ever. Also, Miranda is so evil I was starting to wonder if this was a The Devil's Advocate situation and she was actually just Satan in this film.

E: It is funny at times, just very dumb and hard to look at

How does Jon Bois make graphs mean so much? The one in the second part that goes on forever is legitimately horrifying.
