Now's a good time to start than never right?

I wanted to watch this with my parents months back, then when I told my dad about this movie, he watched it with my mom one day while I was out. Why he decided to watch it without me when I recommended we do it as a family viewing? I have no idea. He told me it's cuz they were bored and needed something to watch, but that excuse is flimsy.

This is beautiful. Beautifully shot and beautifully written. Incredibly human. Had no idea that Tucci was in this. Love the Tooch.

Early oscar contender. This movie has SUCH JUICE!!!
Action, lighting, set dressing, *soundtrack* (Ludwig remains the GOAT), the ACTIIING!!! Michael B. Jordan is a force to be reckoned with.

One thing I've been thinking of lately is the idea of the church being a tool of oppression and how as a queer person, i can say firmly now that i find it in our best interest to turn away from the church. I think people should find their faith however they can, obviously, whether it's through religion or not. But when we are feeling down and feel we need some sort of divine intervention, it's not gonna do us any good by stepping foot in the same building as the oppressor. Just because they say the same prayers that you do, it doesn't mean that they don't still want to take your identity away from you or kill you.

There's one scene where that really hit for me (I'm trying to be as vague as possible here for spoiler reasons). And this is obviously a queer reading of the scene, but this movie is so multi-layered that you can look at it many ways.

The only reason I'm docking half a point is because this movie has like 3 different epilogues. Idk why we just can't put scenes in our movies anymore. You better stay until after ALL of the credits, until the warner bros. logo at the end.

i can never sit through the whole thing whenever my family watches around easter/over time, but good lord is this a treat to look at every time.

it deserves one brutillion dollars

the perfect comedy. maybe my 8th time watching it? the whole "bit" of the movie kinda hits you at one point.

the most incredible climax ever, cackle laughing every time.

imagine if the olympics was like "hey, North Korea, we're gonna do the Olympics here whether you like it or not," that's essentially the major conflict here lol.

The movie is just such a feast for the eyes, my god.

I also forgot how fucking cool the tech of roboworld was.

my favorite part was how real it looked

Type of movie made for those dudes that watch videos of men beating the shit out of perdators as an excuse to beat someone up, and not because they care. Like David Ayer had something with Beekeeper but this is just nothing. Beekeeper was funny this is straight up nothing.

also, there was a Cybertruck in one shot and it threw me the fuck off. That fucking car can't be in movies in the background, it draws way too much attention.

Fantastic Chocolates And How To Make Them

oh boy... So glad I got to see a theater screening. Jesus Christ. utterly electric. How does this movie look like this???nothing looks like this. Nothing by Lily and Lana Wachowski looks like this even. Only thing close is Redline, but that's hand drawn animation.
The actors taking up so much head room while the cg background pans in the opposite direction as the on set camera. It makes all the conversations so gripping. Like they're also a damn race. my god.

oh this is actually way sadder of a character study than i had initially caught when i saw this in theaters. fuck man

I appreciate this a lot. Always looking for original sci-fi so I'm very satisfied with that. I can overlook pacing issues for just how crazy this movie is.

Robert Pattinson fucks like a real lover.

"I'm sick of you being so dark when I'm so impish and whimsical!" Paul McCartney (Jack Black) to John Lennon (Paul Rudd)

why would you ever want to grow up?

Such a well thought out way to depict the specific brand of misogyny that comes from these incel "nice guy" types. Jack Quaid was fucking great in this. Not only does he have great comedic timing, but he shows genuine acting chops and understood the type of dude he was playing.
I also just loved all of the sci-fi details in this. It was all very believable and went very hand in hand with the plot. Kinda reminded me of M3GAN in that way.
This is a great "girls night" movie.

If I was one born as one of Bob Dylan's girlfriend's, I would have shot him.

American protestantism is a cancer that I one day hope to be eradicated.

Fascinated by the minds of straight women.

I have GOT to start making weird trans art. Completely floored. Trans filmmakers are the best.

Always heard people pooh-pooh this one because it wasn't the Tarkovsky version, but I VERY much enjoyed this one.

We hold on to these memories of people and try our hardest to make them manifest, when the repercussions of that is what's tactile.

Also Clooney needs to learn how to properly chop a cucumber, or vegetables in general who knows.

the soundtrack the sets the costuuumes the lighting and harsh shadows hoooly shit... THE ACTING!!!!! Like you have Denzel absolutely going crazy literally and figuratively, and then you also have s Mcdormand, Kathryn Hunter, and Corey Hawkins just giving it their fucking all. So so glad i finally got to watch this after wanting to for a while.

I also need need need a Souls game that looks exactly like this movie.

What happens when the physical embodiment of your fears as a woman manifest itself, and all of those around you become subject to it? How do they react?

ok so in the lead up to this movie, I was thinking about how half of the 2nd movie was just that weird wedding scene. in this movie i missed that wedding scene so bad.

i genuinely didn't expect to like this, but it really managed to hold space for my ass in the theater seat.

when i left the theater i was thinking 3 1/2 stars, but now that I'm home and sitting with it i dislike it more. I don't care for men telling stories about female sex workers lol.

that was so, so sweet.

the perfect satire. the perfect superhero movie. perfect fx team. everything from the performances to the action is turned up to the nines. absolutely bombastic.
also very glad i saw this in a theater, crowd had a blast.

Jon Lovitz The Critic voice: Folie à Deux? more like Forme La Bouche! Quit singing!

uh

Cameron definitely made it known that this was HIS take on Alien. The entire time I kept thinking to myself "when is she gonna say get away from her you bitch!"

honestly people were cowards for being like "but where's the xenomorph!!" with this movie cuz it completely can stand on it's own as a great sci-fi movie. Ridley Scott is too cool. also David was kinda fully justified.

i mean. it's just a perfect movie

Kathleen Turner did nothing wrong here.

ofc this happened in philly

may need to sit with it some more. Fury Road i definitely liked more. this felt more in line with the older ones which is rad, but i wish this was more bombastic. All around solid though.

gripping as FAWK!!!! Kinda feel the Norm Macdonald "Not gay enough!" meme but apart from that I'm floored

Just watched again. loved it even more. cried even more. I'm so happy to have transitioned

genuinely life-changing. feels good knowing that some of the best movies this year are done by trans women

5 star comic book movie. why did anyone ever try after that. Raimi is dripping in sauce

Anakin really said the line "I think he's a she. and she's a changeling"

why does this movie feel so long

Incredibly vulnerable. incredibly human. incredibly funny. this movie means the world to me.
