powerscaling is so bad

said multiverse movies were dumb and then was a multiverse movie the whole time.

kill me

please RYAN stop

I’m not sure what emotion this filled me with, but it was warm, compelling, and familiar.

ALSO that handshake should have been a hug

spit out my dip when I saw Anduril in one of these scenes

Enjoyed it, but the best parts of this were more effective in their native films.

been on a clicking random films era and this one was a surprising gem.

John Cena is a powerhouse, Jeff Ross is a Criminal

memorizing a license plate to later terrorize the owner is super valid, actually.

this version of jeremy would oneshot hawkeye

pizza time.

jake gyllenhaal finally proves that normal dudes can be superheroes too if they just put a pittle effort into gaslighting everybody who trusts them

Miguel O’Hara made me feel things

wilson fisk’s build goes crazy

at some point, aunt may says, “With great power comes great responsibility”

and all I could think was, “there is no way that i am going to come responsibly around that woman”

annual thanksgiving rewatch for the turkey cutting scene and willem dafoe’s buttery voice

Upon rewatch, my original rating of 2/5 stars seemed harsh.

Sam really put his Raimussy into this one and made a movie about a spider-guy that's actually about being a fuckboy in your twenties and the chaos that ensues from doing so.

Frodo in Day One 🤝 Jonesy in Alien

banger tbh

slop

I sadly left the theater with more questions than answers about Bob Marley.

I understand that a large majority of viewers probably have an idea of what happened in Bob’s colorful life, but as someone who hasn’t done anything beyond reading the wikipedia page like 5 years ago - this movie felt lacking.

Great Acting, and filmmaking - but as it exists I can only think to ask myself, “What is this trying to say? Why is it trying to say it?”

Overall I wish I’d seen something else, even though I went to the theater to learn more about Bob Marley.

bottoms on top 😤

Made me grow as a person. Phenomenal experience. Excited to see more.

S2 DRAGS but wowza is it worth it for some of the payoffs.

A tonal clusterfuck that may require a rewatch to adequately review.

stephen yeun is just so fun

This review may contain spoilers.

Not really a review - but worth noting there is an additional brother who also meets a similar fate as many of the Von Eric’s and the director left it out because the movie couldn’t handle another tragedy and tbh he was valid for that.

Parasite but messier, sexier, british, and Bi.

Solid film - floppy dong.

God, please just give me one chance to punch Timothée square in the jaw. Please, I am begging you.

Another one that destroyed me.

A glimpse into the enduring and profound nature of love above all else.

You can’t believe nothing matters when looking for one last glimpse into the mind of someone you love.

Loss is a powerful force, and love cannot exist without it.

Yeeeeah… I’m broken now, thanks!

Really don’t have a lotta words for this one. Every character was complicated and had depth, the shots were beautiful, the history is haunting.

Check it out.

1. Don’t date someone who doesn’t want to date you.
2. Don’t date someone you don’t want to date.

All problems the characters grapple with in this film would be solved.

A lot of people seem to trash Tom’s character - but to be fair being desperate for a “fairy tale” romance has likely gotten all of us in a position where we may have been fighting too hard for an outcome not everyone wanted.

We live in an era rife with romanization of love -simultaneously alongside a total revolution to the way relationships are formed. It’s hard to NOT be a Tom or Summer in today’s day and age. Love is a thing that’s going to burn someone if you aren’t careful with it. Desperation & detachment guarantee someone’s going to get hurt.

the movie that simultaneously debunks the “sleep around to get over your ex” trope while  hamfisting the pervasive 2000’s rom-com idea that grandiose gestures are something that are ever going to be welcomed.

In this film - we can hope for a resolution off screen.

In real life we can expect Cal to spend the rest of his life on the Barstool while he slowly alienates his friends and family on the way to his grave. No Ryan Gosling to save the day.

Me, everytime.

Ryan CANNOT keep getting away with this.

Yeah - maybe love is just something people from broken homes look for.

If at any point after the end of this film you find yourself asking: “Did anything really even happen?” I think you’ve arrived at the conclusion.

The constant fear, and uncertainty felt by Julia Garner’s character is grossly tangible and her fears are valid. Yet - the other characters moving around her are dismissive *at best* because of that damn question “did anything actually happen?”.

The horroresque qualities are wonderfully executed. Instead of thinking “Please don’t go into the scary room” I found myself frustrated that the women in this story would try to SWIM with all of the creeps around them as if the women were the problem or being “naive” on their literal vacation.

This film says a lot about power, victim blaming, rape culture, and the existential horrors of being a woman.

It seems every man in this plot is irredeemable in one way or another, yet they continue to “one-up” one another as the plot progresses and the initial “creep” ends up being an unlikely hero more than a few times - further blurring the line of how safe these women actually are at any given moment.

There’s a lot to dissect here that isn’t directly addressed in the plot either.

Was Hannah’s character a victim? Probably.
Were there undertones of racism? Very likely.

Stay safe out there ladies.

bro just really liked getting fucked up

There are much better things to hold onto than hatred.

rich ppl problems

i am kenough

Watched on Friday July 7, 2023.

george lucas sure did drive some cars

would be a higher rating but the fucking bagel was so stupid - and with all of the multiverse hype, it never really felt like there were infinite outcomes. Just stupid variations.

kinda stupid that he is a bird instead of a bat in this one.

A great take on the stages of grief and accepting mortality.

I particularly liked how this both cured and turned me unto a hypochondriac at the same time.

As a viewer- I’d have preferred if he were just an alcoholic.

One if the opening scenes the titular character (who happens to be a lesbian) preaches about how artist’s work shouldn’t be reduced to the details and failings of their personal life.

Then she loses her entire career because she likes women.

A scalding critique on American consumerism, the traps of conformity, and the utter failing of education without freedom.

Really wish this didn’t end with a GnR cover.

A film that expertly delves into male trauma and guilt and shows the subtle ( and ittedly, toxic) ways in which they are allowed to show empathy and express pain.

Manchester By the Sea deftly enforces the overwhelming feeling of isolation guilt will lead to, and the incapability of “beating it” despite the near constant pull to do so.

Men will almost always suffer alone and in silence - but they’ll survive together.

Surprisingly real for a Marvel Film

A good watch with some good themes. Not many complaints beyond the typical blockbuster pacing slapping me in the face ( seconds after good character moments usually)
