forgot to log this because well, it sucked!

this was a mess but the leads are sexy.. i love mysteries even when they’re a bit nonsensical. it’s not winning any awards but i had fun!

i won’t bother with a proper review because i don’t care to add to any nonsensical chatter about this movie. what i will say however— THEY KILLT BIGGIE

Watched on Tuesday April 15, 2025.

i didn’t order the poopoo platter btw…

fun and whatnot

Watched on Sunday April 13, 2025.

“let the record reflect; this is not a good movie” and my friend was correct! i don’t have the mental energy to delve into why but hm it’s confounding that this movie was released in 2022, not 2013 when tumblr would have adored this

why was mystikal the entire soundtrack????

DONT MAKE ME WATCH ALONE

Watched on Thursday April 10, 2025.

finally watched this all the way through just to get it over with… CHOP!

Watched on Sunday March 30, 2025.

he can’t keep getting away with this…. genuinely one of the worst unintentionally terrible movies i’ve ever watched! he’s 0 for 2 and god willing he never puts pen to paper again idgaf

is for me

This review may contain spoilers.

nothing to smile about in my mind right now… THEY KILLT BIGGIE

sure, what the hell

ray nicholson, i’m sked of you!!! jack quaid was delightful as per usual— i fear he’s dethroned christopher abbott at the top of my ‘fave new-gen actor client list’ until further notice. amber midthunder was great in this and it was cool to see her portray a different kind of character than in PREY! the scene where she’s teary-eyed and anticipating That moment? yeah, she emotes very well which is rare at times with some newer actresses & actors. i just love fun, i love action romance comedy chaos!

*oprah chewing dramatically clip* i like it!!

*cardi b voice* should i k**??

i fought my fear (maternal grief) and finally watched this. oh deborah logan and sarah, i am so sorry and would like to hug

okay miss girl…

real cinema, real fun

i love when a robot (re)gains sentience and free will as the catalyst to a quest for justice. i also love depictions of emotional instinct in fiction regarding robots, AI, cyborgs etc. it communicates a comion that challenges the notion of artificial life as merely a void to pull from

oh my god……… i get it now

this would’ve been way more fun and suspenseful if audiences weren’t informed of the “plot twist” in all of the promotional info. it’s a fun time but there were several moments that almost made me feel something that i’d have felt if fewer questions had been preemptively answered. lukas gage as an erratic gay is always fun even when it’s poorly executed. sophie thatcher is so phenomenal i almost considered returning to yellowjackets. jack quaid is great as usual but he might be one of satan’s greatest soldiers

i predicted the final kill which also brings the rating down. it’s sooo difficult being me!

i don’t smoke but i think i need a cigarette. how did leigh manage to absolutely fail to bring such a classic trope to life? i didn’t care about any of the characters and they barely seemed to care about each other until the final act or so. i’m astounded and christopher abbott is being temporarily demoted on my actor clientele roster. no comments or questions!

homoerotic but less fun overall this time around

this was  so fun. o’shea jackson jr. is being reenrolled into my actor clientele. no questions at this time!

[animal howling sounds from ‘down with the sickness’ by disturbed] THE SUBSTANCE, you are nothing to me in this moment!

oh my god…

i get it now

AND AGAIN. AND AGAIN

i’m not gonna be normal about this

YEAHHHHHGGGGG

i get it now

dare i say it?— SERAPH CORE MHM YUP

i don’t know what i was expecting but it somehow wasn’t this. absolutely phenomenal performances across the board. wow. they took the soul consuming agony of grief and somehow made it beautiful. thank you for my restored sanity, jonathan glazer!

kathy batesssss!! she does it for me every time. there’s a reason she was my favorite actress when i was 5 years old (i thought she slayed in annie 1999)

there’s no hope for movies. there’s no hope for movies. there’s no hope for—

philip seymour hoffman did it again!! he was an absolute phenom and it reflects in every role. the way he carries the weight of each character in such an empathic way, it simply feels like a miracle to be able to witness. quite literally one of the actors of all time. de niro was… there. every ing actor was incredible and didn’t seem to shy away from the eccentricity meant to be conveyed in every scene. ANOTHER MOVIE HAS REPLENISHED MY HP BAR FOR AT LEAST 1 WEEK

Watched on Monday December 9, 2024.

watching this and the first movie to distract myself from my grief was actually a disaster! literally why didn’t anyone tell me these movies are about grief driving people insane? i disemboweled god 10 times while watching this btw

this is kinda just what grief feels like most of the time so sure, 3 stars

i’m cracking my black ass up!!!

i really enjoyed this. i kinda have no notes at the moment!!
