the narrative stuff is flimsy and didactic, as are the ironic barrage of logos and brands. But the material and its assemblage is so overpowering, just concrete sprawl and dilapidated buildings for miles. Rarely do films capture on such honest just how America was built in the 2000s. It seems easy until you watch it yourself. the voiceover makes it sound like Jem Cohen tried to make a more obvious picture than the one that turned out. I guess in a way he didn’t; There’s not much more here than the fables presented by our dual protagonists and the ennui and sprawl left in the wake of globalist capitalism. But thankfully, in pursuit of some rudimentary Poetics of Space thesis, the film stumbled on the exact thing every liminal space post would fail to really “get at” two decades later.

watched this because the director of the thunderbolts, an MCU movie I have not watched, put it in his Letterboxd Top 4. This is a very embarrassing statement, tho not at all a diss on the guy in question. it is a remarkable film, in a way that makes me mourn for the places we inhabit and the ways of being around each other we have forgotten. a restoration would do gangbusters.

soooooo cute omg

Tim Robinson yaoi nose bleed

totally sound movie. first visually interesting thing alex garland has ever done + good use of movie stars. A tunnel vision rendition the Iraq war as awkward dress up for pussies and sociopaths that paints the invasion as impossible to see and propagandize at the same time. 80% as well executed as late Bigelow and 80% as audacious as late Clint. unfortunately found it basically irrelevant, but there are a lot of similarly compromised films in conflict with themselves and most of them are more boring and less watchable than this. 👍

something about the straight-faced competency of this feels anachronistic. good movie

hard to watch that first reel without my eyes glazing over from how excited I am to be watching this movie again

sometimes I wonder if I would like the mashup horror of the 2010s more were it underseen 80s schlock, if I am more attracted to its obscurity than the quality or charms of a specific film. NEVERMIND, though - this shit is ass

this is some shit I woulda gotten into in high school. if I was 16 I would call this a movie about a young man who makes smart choices

curled up on the couch no blanket shivering like a dying bird rn

favorite movie of the year so far, I love everything about it

we have definitely lost some recipes tbh

pretty good, all things considered

did not expect this to reminded me of Brian Evenson and Godspeed You Black Emperor

alone in my apartment hollering at the tv and gasping and pointing

damn I’ve watched this movie a lot. like, sometimes ill throw it on, it’ll play top to bottom while im in the room and I’ll be like, no, im not gonna log it…i was folding laundry…it wasn’t a real viewing.

This review may contain spoilers.

Demonic Assimilationist Irish Step Dancing is such a good idea dude. That’s such an awesome thing to put in a movie. Shit.

quite upsetting. there is a conservative streak here, in that it does not really understand teen girls, only the projections onto them- it seems to think them only useful subjects insofar as vessels for society’s ills. It kinda weasels its way out of the misogyny allegations on the strength of the monologues and the drone-y, hypnotic vibe. Swon’s examination of American folklore’s didactically confused sadism is perhaps not as novel or radical as he thinks, but it is comforting, thoughtful, creepy. 

the actors are what make this worthwhile. I love the moments where you can tell they’re glancing at a prompter or they flub a line. Even though the script lacks a tenderness, it shows up anyway.

if Harmony Korine wasn’t such a narc, the terminally uncool vibes would be pretty endearing. not rly fascist, about 15% as smart as the Unity projects it’s ripping off, an all around bad time. kinda feels like when your parents would talk over the best part of a song you were playing in the car, just so they could complain about the song. dnf, obviously.

at one point I reached out with both arms towards the screen as if to hug it

classic movie to make if you are 12 and have never met another human being

the kind of movie you could whip an entire industry into chasing after for half a century

could not stop gawking at all the beautiful women in this! rescore this one and it’s basically perfect

reminds me of a set of blinds that were in my childhood bedroom. I was just talking about them the other day. In the morning, in summer -well, on sunny days it looked like branches, but when it was overcast, you could see faces.

what an act of love this is, to take something intangible and make it ‘real’ beyond pretense, all to tell your friend, get well soon, we miss you
