Marvel could never.

If you like French people talking about volcanos for 90 minutes this is the doc for you! 

Some of the shots made my brain melt. When I was little we used to drive by this extinct volcano & these giant lava rock fields in New Mexico on the way to go skiing & this made me want to go back

I think i liked it! Don’t think I loved it. 
It was bringing me waaaay back to my childhood terror of the rapture. 
I still get emo when there’s a domestic gay couple doing regular life things. Was nice :,)

I think I was too sleepy when I watched this but tbh kinda of a yawn for me. Slept like a baby after watching  🥰

EDIT: But also I just read Dylan’s review and no like yeah for sure

It’s giving the discovery channel hit series Whale Wars. 

I did accidentally buy a 4D ticket and felt like I was on a Disneyworld ride from hell but not even that could ruin this for me.

I freaking loved it. the family narrative was so so good and didn’t get buried in the spectacle of it all. it was so nice to sit in a completely sold out theater <3

they did flo so dirty this movie wouldn’t end

also there was a bomb threat 15 minutes in :-)

i’m a sucker for a courtroom drama - it had that warm 90’s feel where it’s not too sharp around the edges i loved it 
still tough to watch - glad i did. didn’t know tom hanks won an oscar for this role. racey content for 1993! good for him

working on expanding my ~horror palette~ and this one was fun/traumatizing and kept me on my toes. 
the worst part of horror movies is all the horror previews like sheesh ease me into it

tried to rewatch this because we walked out of it in high school and lasted 18 minutes this time around. 

tldr: it’s real bad.

it began

tw: the worst saxophone playing you’ve ever heard in your life

tw #2: my most pretentious review to date! 

maaaan i struggled with this. the dysfunctional, hyper-sexualized opening and closing really didn’t sit right with me and felt reductionist about an entire group of people (like i got the attempts at nuance but they weren’t substantive enough or overt enough to balance out the entire foundation of the film being his malformed relationship with his sexual orientation  - just because you can tell a story doesn’t mean you should i think?) 

there were some great moments but overall it was a long, bleak, undignified two hours that felt like a missed opportunity to be something more than it was.

idk i need someone else to watch it & talk it out but also don’t want any of you, my beloved handful of letterboxd readers, to sit through that.

my brain melted into a puddle where it will stay outside of the belcourt until i can figure out what i just watched
