Every single part of this movie just made me so emotional. I was crying and laughing at the same time.

Throuple vibes ngl

also Jeanie needs to be rescued from this family

I would go to similar lengths for boba tea

Touch starved Gromit I love you

I feel sick

Perfect depression movie

Walter Murch really knows how to edit tension, especially when it’s gay

Watched on Tuesday January 21, 2025.

Definitely funny at times, but quite a lot of the jokes have aged badly

Best Christmas movie ever, you can't convince me otherwise

They’re all so friend shaped!

This was not a movie I was expecting to make me feel insane

My friend and I walked in knowing nothing and expecting a lighthearted comedy. We walked out in a stunned silence.

Considering my goal to watch 52 new movies was originally to get myself to watch movies I’d been meaning to see for a while, this felt like a very fitting final movie for this challenge.

I hate men

No other way I’d want to spend my 25th birthday

How did the animals make those little shadow puppets without opposable thumbs?

This movie raised the bar for gay disasters to a level I fear will never be reached again

Shout out to the sound designer. They really know how to use a good squelch.

My personal favorite Halloween movie

Watched this the way it was intended: hammering nails with a screwdriver while cats keep getting in your way

I’m so sad?? They just want to be gay alien dads together!!

Baby Brightbill is the cutest thing ever put in a movie

I like to think this was about my actual grandma Thelma

Wasn’t expecting a decapitated bird head in the first 5 minutes

In all seriousness I’d give this movie 6 stars if I could

Watching this movie made my film school tuition feel worth it

I really wanted those old ladies to walk into that house showing and start breaking shit

I’m glad I’ve seen it, even if it’s just so I stop thinking “oh I should watch that”

This movie had an element of unexplained weirdness that has been missing from recent movies but was greatly appreciated

I finally get that reference in Fire Island :D

Wolverine at his best is always a father figure first. Stop giving him love interests and only give him more kids to take care of.

I’d like to thank my 7 years of Japanese classes for allowing me to understand like 6 additional lines of dialogue

I feel gay and insane

Exactly the gay sci-fi insanity I was hoping for

After watching the first 3 X-Men movies this feels homophobic

Bobby and Pyro definitely had a thing before Rogue got there and neither of them ever really got over it

Scott and Wolverine should stop fighting over Jean and kiss each other so I can date her and we can be a ginger power couple

I've been watching too many firefighter shows because the car crash scene was really giving 9-1-1 cold open

I have so many thoughts and none of them are snippy enough for letterboxd

Dev Patel, I'm not especially into men so please take this platonically, but I love you and I hope you make many more movies so I can keep watching you in them.

Also, according to Peacock, if you like this, you should also watch Cocaine Bear

Not really my usual kind of movie but Mia Goth absolutely kills it

That sex scene changed me as a person

RIP Maximus

He truly was a legend (he had to live with everyone calling him a turtle when he was clearly a tortoise)

I haven’t read the book, but I have seen the stage play. Between the two I’d guess the movie is a more comprehensive retelling of the original book, while the play went for a more creative approach. While the movie was good and had some very pretty shots in it, I can’t help but feel the limitations of doing everything live on stage made for the finished product to feel more real. I love puppets and the stage production of Life of Pi had some of the best puppetry I’ve ever seen, while the movie had pretty standard cgi.

As for the actual telling of the story, I like that the stage production combined the two retellings of the story (no clue what the book does but I prefer the simplicity of only having one retelling to cut to). Also, the small romantic plot in the movie was cute but felt very shoved in and wasn’t relevant to the rest of the story.

Additionally, the movie felt like a more sanitized version of the story, most notably with how it often cut away from anything violent or showed it from a distance. One of the things that made the stage production feel so visceral was that they showed the gruesomeness of things like the tiger eating the goat or (spoiler alert) the second version of the story at the end. You get moments of it in the movie, but not to the same degree. 

Overall, I think both versions have their merits, but as a piece of art I definitely find myself more drawn to the stage show. The magic of having everything happen live in front of you is very hard to recreate with cgi in a movie.

This movie really hits when corporate is trying to bust your union

Between this and Interview With the Vampire I sure have had a day of media about fathers
