This movie walked so the Pirates Who Don’t Do Anything could run.

What will fill the void?

“You need to spend less time on the internet”- Tom Cruise 2025

This movie overused its B-Roll privileges.

It's amazing how silent movie-inspired the car chase and the climax of the train scene are.

Fox in Socks but instead of tongue twisters, it’s Tom Cruise killing people.

O.J.’s last movie before it all went to shit.

"Your coat, sir?"
"Yes, it is. And I have a receipt to prove it"

One of the greatest baseball movies. 🌚

On a technical standpoint, probably one of the best films to come out in recent memory. A true confidence of visual language, score and sound design. Guy Pearce? Phenomenal every single time he was on screen.

But what I find is this movie confusing having vague, simplistic lip service to the faults of the American Dream as successfully putting its mark in a long legacy of American epics. You’ve probably heard this on this app a lot but I have to agree: The first half is where the movie is at its best. Once the intermission ends, it becomes strangely melodramatic in a way that feels very jarring compared to the quieter but thoughtful first 100 minutes. The Italian Marble and train scenes are bright spots no doubt.  

Obviously there are better analysis out there than my “I just watched a movie beloved by everyone and the Academy and I’m gonna put a hot take”. Obviously, it’s clear Brady Corbet and his team were sincere in what they were trying to do. I just think the movie becomes a victim of its own indulgence and ambition that I just can’t everyone showering it with praise. 

Many will probably say I didn’t get the proper viewing experience (as watching it on HBO as opposed to a theater will do) but I guess we’ll never know.

Still some of the funniest shit ever in a studio movie.

So you think people who saw this at Lincoln Center last fall had an Inception moment when the characters had a scene in the Lincoln Center?

Metal straws are better for the environment.

All hail the Wienie King!

The coolest guys you know in a Western. 

What more could you want?

Gotta say, thank god they committed to practical makeup.

“If there is to be a brave new world, our generation is going to have the hardest time living in it“

The one enemy the original Enterprise crew could not defeat: Shatner’s ego.

“What do you have against capitalism?”
-Johnny Storm 2007

James Cameron clearly didn’t listen to the “stay away from the water” advice.

80s Fantasy is a lost art that needs a comeback.

Y’all we don’t talk enough about the amount of emotional trauma Chewbacca goes though.

Someone give him a hug.

This is basically the movie David Ayer claimed the 2016 Suicide Squad movie was.

2017 really was a weird year for Tom Cruise.

Did…did this movie do a proto Severance and Mickey 17?!

Essentially the Neurodivergents from the future save the whales from Regan era America.

Instant banger.

A step down from Wrath of Khan for sure, but it slaps.

This is the SHIT right here!!

Okay to be fair, if you had a ion project that got screwed over by the network with very little budget and cancelled out of the blue; and then years later got the chance to revive it as a big screen spectacle, wouldn’t YOU want to show off your visual effects?!

Tomorrow is my friend Mel’s birthday.

It would mean a lot if you are in a financially stable position to donate to their GoFundMe as a birthday present.

If you can’t, share with people you know. Don’t just look at this post, like it and move on.

Okay, I won’t put a hat on my bed anymore.

Scorsese presents the image of Jesus in conflict. It’s easy to look to Christ as the all powerful, wise son of God. But he was first and foremost a human being that was blessed with the gifts, teachings and responsibilities of God. He was still raised a carpenter’s son and was capable of being as flawed and susceptible of sin as anyone. And it’s through his continued perseverance and ability to rise above the temptations is what makes him a Savior to those who believe in him. It is through those lens that Scorsese looks into a figure too often regulated as all powerful being and shows the humanity he always had.

To some this might be blasphemy but then again how many of those same people have committed heinous crimes claiming to be Jesus’ disciples?

This movie looks like someone took all the raw footage and just did no correction in post.

Eh, better than the 2019 movie at least.

Ryan Coogler at the top of his game.

A movie that wears its heart unapologetically on its sleeve. To really sit with the pain and hurt of not only the characters but the people making it. And yet still Coogler and his team do not let the loss of Chadwick stop them from evolving the world and story they started in the first Black Panther. 

Along with Guardians 3, this is still the best of a post-Endgame MCU. And a true testament to Chadwick’s memory as well as Coogler’s power as a storyteller.

Scar really was on some Mordecai levels of simping.

Barry Jenkins giving 110% here though.

A beautiful movie.

Chance the Gardener is definitely autistic-coded.

Rewatching with more knowledge (and love) of the FF makes a person realize they always screwed them over.

Proof a silly kids movie can be made by people who actually care about the source material and are willing to be creative instead of making brain rot that makes 8-14 year olds throw popcorn in the air cause Jack Black said a meme line.

Also Pete Davidson is ACTUALLY good in this? WTF?

This movie got me like Patrick

Watched on Sunday April 6, 2025.

The Jim Henson disrespect needs to stop.

A movie that breaks the heart and then lets you sit with it as you go through the slow process of healing and redemption.

Yeah this is a Disney Plus show turned last minute movie all right.

Soderbergh dropping two bangers and the year’s only 1/4 through. Love to see it.
