Although I appreciate a female lead in an action film who I actually believe could kick someone's ass, like Scarlet Johansson and Emily Blunt and unlike Gal Gadot and Ana de Armas, soz, this film was so lacking in personality.
I'm not a big superhero gal but when I how much fun I had in the cinema watching Avengers Assemble and the first Guardians of the Galaxy I can't belive how colourless and dour these films have become.

It can't be a good sign when I look forward to scenes with David Harbour.

Takes place in an alternate universe where Netflix happily allowed The Half of It a Blu-ray release

5 stars just for autistic ADHD Ben Affleck who looks incredible.

Really enjoyed the dry and literal humour on top of the pew pews.

Can we talk about Korean grandma? She’s got billions but still washes the dishes, folds tea towels, and makes dinner. So humble, so rich. We need a sequel with just her life.

I think I’ve seen too much of Bowen, including his pubes. Didn’t like the beginning and some of the cringe gay/lesbian quips, but it got so much better.

Fact, this is probably the only way to survive this economy and be in a quadruple poly relationship.

This was intense. I was gripped, shutting myself, anxious, nervous from the start. The opening scene was something - but it’s just boys being boys.

The sound design is good. I felt every bullet and the effect of an IED aftermath - ear wise.

Was hoping for more “show of force” because each and every single one was so fucking awesome.

Also there are some incredibly hot guys in this film.

Ignoring the politics.

This was okay. Gadot was exuding unhinged crazy evil bitch energy and Zegler was singing well. The 7 dwarves were ugly as hell. 

Disney was sexualising this film with the hot guy Jonathan. Crazy.

Most emotional moment for me was when Dopey spoke.

Let’s face it, if people the original it was okay.

That’s it. Short film, okay, with some really ugly songs. 2 main characters did well in their own roles. 🤷

The Penguin Lessons

2024

The penguin is not a communist 

This film was all over. Was expecting a penguin POV film and how it caused csrnage in a school.

A lot more adult than expected - especially themes around dictatorship, freedom, death, pain, life, and coup d'état.

The fucking ending was too much - really loved the restoration of the original film at the end.

I want Benedict Cumberbatch to voice over this film about penguins. IYKYK.

Not what you might call a “good movie”. In fact, I’d say this is quite, how do you say, bad?
