This will, without a doubt, click for me fully at some point in the next few years, and I am deeply excited for that day.

I’m racist in a really specific way where i think every old white woman in a movie is June Squibb.

Bring back movie tie-in video games just for this because the Sinners game would go ridiculously hard. This is basically a video game already.

also a huge day for those with a bad case of Delroy Lindo fever.

Final set piece raised this rating an entire star that shit is insane. Also feels like an entire hour was cut from this movie it's kind of ridiculous how fast everything moves (negative).

Not really interested in the conversation about whether or not this is propaganda, because of course it is. An Iraq war movie told almost entirely based on the memory of its American participants can’t be anything else.

What does interest me though, is the way this movie sort of exposes the double-edged sword that is the supposed Oppenheimer problem. Instead of entirely ignoring the victims of the situation(in this movies case the Iraqi homeowners) like Oppenheimer does, it attempts to make them the last ditch emotional backbone by having them end off the movie. It’s brief, but it feels cheap, unearned, and unsympathetic, but the alternative isn’t much better. Personifying these characters in a profound way just to have them serve as nothing but inevitable misery fuel isn’t exactly a great option. That’s why I loved Oppenheimer so much, the way it completely omits the victims wasn’t disrespectful, it was cold and calculated in a way that placed the audience in a distant position of unimaginable and unvisualized guilt and grief(like Murphy’s character).

Now, I don’t exactly know if this movie could even be made without encountering this problem. It isn’t fictional like Civil War after all, so it can’t rely on the same “don’t ask don’t tell don’t get political” mindset that that movie does. That’s sort of why I’m not docking points for any of these complaints. I just find it interesting how movies navigate around stuff like this.

This movie is good, it’s even great at times(the sequence where DiPharaoh’s character has to rip out his headset post-explosion is unbelievable). It’s a smart, well-made, and very well-informed look into an inevitability. I liked it. I had a good time. I’d watch it again. This swirling soup of movie-brain, friend that’s too woke thoughts weren’t running through my head every second of the runtime I swear. And I’m sure Ray Mendoza is a fine guy (this is a nice tribute, and he tried to he empathetic after all) but I’m not the war movie guy, and I kind of wish this didn’t exist.

Movie would be 100x better if it took place during the ANTIFA MASSACRE.

I desperately wish this was 200 million dollar Primer (in the sense that you're thrown directly into the fire) instead of this exposition fest, but at the end of the day it's still the coolest concept ever conjured, so it works. JDW doesn't hit for me at all times, but Pattinson, Debicki, and Branagh come through hard and carry this thing over the top.

This is my 2000th movie logged, and I rang in the occasion by watching something horribly racist with my folks. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

Every single day I lean closer to just saying Peter Bogdanovich is the greatest filmmaker of all time.

Should've rewatched this sooner after finishing the book, but still the context it adds really heightens the whole movie(or makes it worse depending on how you look at it, I'm kind of picking and choosing where to apply it).

In the case of Rick's character i'm viewing it as a supplementary text because Leo's performance allows me to. In Cliff's case I think the movie (and Pitt himself to a degree) kinda fails to communicate the allure of Cliff in the book.

There's some backstory that I'm able to in good faith mentally fill in, but other parts just aren't made clear enough. One part that works is his relationship with Brandy, explained perfectly in the book, and Pitt does a great job at implying their history. Otherwise though his whole army history, killing history, and what led to his "zen" mindset is nowhere to be seen. Cliff is obviously cool as hell but this doesn't effectively show how 1) how whip smart he is, and 2) how genuinely insane he is beyond the anti-hippie exterior. Pitt's Cliff shows flashes here and there with his comments on Italian cinema or aggressiveness at the ranch, but his aura in the book is just way way beyond this.

With Rick on the other hand I sort of enjoy the show-not-tell approach because I think Leo's performance does a decent job at communicating the insane amount of beyond the surface lore. Rick's struggle with BPD and substances, his silent melancholy, and his repressed desire to get better at acting is really subtly communicated through glassy eyes and self-deprecation. Would've loved to see more of Rick and Trudi's relationship here because it is one of the main highlights of the book for me, but I understand their convos aren't exactly conducive to an exciting movie.

Tate and Manson I go both ways on if more should've been included. I like the concept of Sharon being a sort of blank slate angelic character because it sets up the bait and switch of the finale, but she is pretty damn compelling in the book. More of Margot Robbie's Sharon Tate would have been a welcome sight and there's definitely some good material for her. In of Manson I really enjoyed his desperation and juxtaposition with Rick in the book but that's totally absent here. The only reason I can think of as to why is because a knowledgable audience can just fill in the blanks with the real life story, so he saved the precious runtime for his fictional characters + Tate. It's a decent reason, but I can't help but wish the movie was 5 hours long instead

Perfect movie either way.

Tom Burke and Marisa Abela come through with some of the best line deliveries of the decade.

So pleased that this movie lived up to the greatness of its poster (and perhaps even sured it)

Never seen a movie fumble the landing quite like this lol. That graduation scene is a fucking disaster. Hard to watch and not in the intended brace for impact type of way. The rest of it is still really charming throughout and obviously the backyard party scene is a masterstroke so I'll give it some leeway.
