It’s Never Too Late

TW: Suicide

It’s been 11 months since the first time I saw this movie. I went by a different name back then, I was a different person back then. Sure I was “out” but hardly anyone knew. I hadn’t yet fully itted it to myself back then, but I wanted to die, I felt like Owen, like if I just ignored it it wouldn’t hurt me, and it would eventually go away, but it stayed and just got worse and worse, I wanted life to just fast forward and be over.

About 3 months ago, I hit rock bottom, I had to move back in with my parents, and I finally started the intensive therapy program that I desperately had needed for a long time. Finally, with a lot of help and effort, I fully came to 100% with who I was, and just 2 days ago, I was able to graduate with everyone calling me by my new name (and I finally found a gender-affirming clinic that will take my insurance).

Ive lost a lot of friends in the past year (one of the downsides of being trans at a Catholic university), and I finally understand what this film meant by dying. my depressed early-transition self just saw it and fantasized about being buried alive and reincarnated as the woman I desperately needed to become, but it isn't that easy. I had to "kill" my old self. It hurt, it was the hardest thing that I have ever done, and life isn't magically perfect now, (I still have villains of the week I need to fight, such as a certain president I don't need to name), but things don't feel nearly as deeply and internally wrong as they did.

Mr Melancholy said it best: I didn't realize i was dying.

W*ll may be dead, but Wynn is as alive as ever and she is showing no signs of stopping.

It's Never Too Late

Such a fantastic flick, absolutely perfect pacing and sound design. So glad I was talked into seeing it in theaters, def see it on the biggest screen you can. (With the best speakers) there is a scene in this one that honestly rivals the Trinity Scene from Oppenheimer in of pure immersion.

Perfect accidental May the 4th watch

This is a weird one, i get that it’s supposed to be a lesson about finding a middle ground to make friendships work, but it just doesn’t really work, like the final solution is that Alex will eat fish instead of animals, but then, are fish not animals? I mean, this movie puts monkeys and lemurs on the same level as penguins socially, but fish are the ones that are deemed “lesser than”? It just seems weird and inconsistent, then there are the Foosa, which are depicted as the “villains” of the movie, but we aren’t really given anything to distinguish why we should be rooting for Alex and against them. These inconsistencies just kinda come up as a bit racist.

I dunno, I’m def over analyzing this kids movie, but I being confused about what the movie was trying to say at the end as a kid even, so idk what to think. At least this is the movie that gave us Mort!

Not quite as good as it’s successor, but still loads of fun nonetheless. It definitely lost its footing for a bit after the initial team broke up, but managed to pull itself together for a great finale. Honestly, I got quite a bit of Velocipastor vibes from this movie, it definitely isn’t near as legendary as that film, but it’s certainly a good enough holdover to get through the wait to Velocipastor 2

It was a choice to watch this while currently in a therapy program for suicidal ideation.

Great movie tho lol I only cried twice

Perfect film, no notes

Good movie, but the ending kinda blows

Maybe we just need to burn the rich and all their bootlickers and the world will be fixed

I think Nick needs more motivation to go to Karaoke

I got to see this film rereleased in theater, and thank God I waited to see it the way it was meant to be seen, because that was astonishing. I haven’t been this floor by a movie in quite a while. I wasn’t expecting this, but honestly, I’d say it is giving Mulholland Drive a run for its money as my favorite Lynch film.

This review will be edited once Nick Paulson attends Karaoke

Literally perfect, I can’t say anything else on it

“This guy gets more pussy than a toilet seat”

RIP David Lynch. Despite me not even knowing his name until about 3 years ago when I watched my first film of his (Blue Velvet) his works have managed to have such a huge impact on not only how I perceive film, but how I perceive life as a whole. I’m sure I am not the only life that has been substantially affected by his works. He will be deeply missed (also I intend on trying to finally finish his filmography and Twin Peaks before I graduate, so keep your eyes out for those reviews.

David Lynch once again manages to sur my expectations. I can definitely see why this movie gets described as a proto-Mulholland Drive, it has a similar way of just dragging you along for the ride of your life, but isn’t quite as smooth about it as that movie is. It kinda feels a bit like a patchwork of a film, which I guess was at least somewhat intentional, but still didn’t make it very easy to watch.

RIP to an absolute legend

There’s some really great stuff in here, but a good chunk of it felt like every other action movie of that decade

Mystery Movie Monday Early Viewing:
135 minutes of Robbie Williams sucking himself off. Honestly I have no clue how people are enjoying this, it’s literally every other biopic, except the main character looks like a monkey, and yeah, Robbie Williams can say all he wants that it’s because he “feels different”, but you know for a fact that he’s a monkey solely because Robbie Williams wanted to play himself, but he was too old, and not a good actor, so he decided to make himself a poorly CGId monkey so he could be the first credit on his movie. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a biopic that has actually made me have a worse opinion on the person it’s about, but here we are. Robbie literally doesn’t develop at all throughout the movie besides for dropping drugs, an aspect of the film that was extremely underdeveloped because the movie really wanted a PG-13 rating for some reason (I don’t think anyone younger than 18 is even gonna know who Robbie Williams is). He starts off his career being a dumb and self-centered alcoholic, and ends the movie being a dumb and self-centered recovering alcoholic. Also, he depicts his father as the villain for the the whole movie, then the end makes it seem like he adores his father above anyone else, it seems like there are a lot of missing pieces. Also the whole relationship story just felt super rushed, like the entire plot line was relegated to being short silent scenes interspersed inside of a cheerful musical number.

Of course I can’t give this movie too much hate, some of the scenes were rather gorgeous, and the music was pretty good.

My biggest issue with this movie was that it edged me by playing the opening notes to Candy (my favorite Robbie Williams song) at the start of the movie, and NEVER PLAYED THE SONG! This is an unforgivable sin

Imagine walking in on your wife’s freshly dead corpse mid-coitus with a rotten corpse, and covered in blood and having your first thought be “I need to close her eyes.”

Why do they keep kissing? it’s obvious they dont want to!

This film would probably pair well with a big wedge of Rochefort cheese.

When Haku was bleeding out on the floor my brother yelled “No! not Hawk-Tuah!”

Anyways, I’ll be jumping off the nearest cliff if anyone’s looking for me.

About half of this movie absolutely rocks, and the other half is just dumb people making dumb choices

Honestly, I forgot how awful this was

Everything ends at some point, no matter what you do, at how perfectly you try to live your life, nothing is permanent. I don’t know about the rest of y’all, but I’m about halfway through my final year of undergrad, I got an invite to one of my good friends grad parties the other day, and it included the line “I can’t promise that this won’t be goodbye forever” I’ve been a hormonal, emotional mess as of late, so this completely role me, I cry at pretty much everything, but reading that really hit me like a truck and thrust me into a depressive spiral close to some of the worst that ai have ever been through before, to the point where weeks later, I still cry thinking about it, hell I’m crying just writing this.

Im very guilty of running away from my problems, hell, most of my IRL friends on this app know that far too well (hey guys, I hope I see y’all at Karaoke this week). I have far too many times avoided friendships and relationships just because I know they will eventually end. No matter how many times that I tell myself that just because something will end doesn’t mean it isn’t worth doing, but that’s always been a particularly difficult reality for me to accept.

I know this has felt like a bit of a tangent, but I promise, it all has to do with this movie if you haven’t already put the pieces together. Also, if you have managed to get to this point, I must warn you that there are going to be a lot of spoilers for this movie past this point.

Essentially, this struggle of accepting just how temporary things are is what this movie is all about in the grand scheme of things. Every single plot thread in this movie is in on way or another, Elliot learning that it’s ok for things to end, whether that’s the summer, living with her family, her family’s farm, the life of the person she is in love with, and even her own sexuality and identity as a person (this one hit especially hard with my coming out being rather late in my life).

Overall, this movie tackles this concept absolutely perfectly. I don’t know if this is just a symptom of how broken I am right now, but this movie was seriously so cathartic to me. I’m sure I’m gonna wake up tomorrow and be back to being depressed as fuck, but until then, for the first time in we’ll over a year, I’m actually feeling pretty good.

Well, if you actually made it this far, I am so sorry for the trauma dump, but I love you all!

Also, I am absolutely crazy for the casual nonbinary representation in this movie. It’s honestly probably the only time I’ve seen a movie with a nonbinary character that didn’t make a huge deal out of it, Ro was just there being a flannel wearing legend (much like myself)

I think if more people in the US watched this movie we wouldn’t be in the situation we are in right now. I’m fucking terrified right now, and the fact that recent events have had me thinking about this random movie I had to watch in 8th grade honestly has me even more terrified.

Kinda boring until the very end, I lined Art the Clown, so I’m excited to watch the rest of these movies.

I may be the only nonbinary person to see one of these movies in theaters while baked

I turned this on as a joke and watched the whole thing lol

This was a weird one. I don’t say this often, but I think this needed to be about twice as long as it was. The concept and themes were perfect, but there just wasn’t enough time to do it all justice. The biggest issue was that everything felt so rush, and yes, that led to the interesting editing choices in the film which were nice, but I don’t think that that makes up for how sloppily paced this film was. Besides that my only real issue was how bad some of the music was, it was honestly kinda embarrassing to watch at times.

I really dug the overall vibes, and honestly, I wish this was way better, because it was right up my alley

A racist, homophobic, and transphobic mess. Only good part was Christopher Macdonald, but even he was missing most of the personality and hat he usually imbues upon his films. Also, the deleted scenes at the end were way better than the actual movie.

This is a movie quite unlike anything I have ever seen before, I almost hesitate to call it a film, it’s moreso just a collection of images and scenes meant to provoke thought about the commonly accepted history ed on by Christians. While I may not really agree with much of what is posed in this movie, I still must it that it did make me think.

Onto the more tangible aspects. The only thing I didn’t really like was how long some of the scenes lasted. I understand the choice, but some scenes, especially the bloody boob one, just weren’t enjoyable to see for that long. Obviously, this movie was made on a budget of like $3 and a shoelace, but I have long since stopped caring about that. This film had some shockingly good looking scenes, next to some albeit very goofy ones, but the best part by far was the music,  from start to finish, every note was absolutely perfect, it sounded great and really set the stage for the film as a whole

I do t even know what to say, this movie is just bonkers

One part goofy B-Movie, and one part scathing indictment of capitalism and modern democracy, and honestly I’m all here for it.

I also loved how nobody was willing to kill kids, not even the central villain. Some great kills that are loads of fun,l The first 20 minutes were absolutely terrible, but once the main character stopped being a complete creep, it got waaaaay better.

I honestly enjoyed this way more than I ever expected to, I’m excited to watch more Troma.

Shockingly disappointing. This movie had so much potential, it could have been just a ton of fun, but instead it just felt like a big ad for Vans, which kinda feels like it goes against the whole point of punk. There was a bit of fun to be had here and there especially with the kills, but most of it was boring, and they tried way too hard with the story.

Still fucking perfect.

I only watched the last 30 minutes, but it still had me sobbing. I would literally sell my soul to the devil to see the farewell concert of BTMI, it just looks like a literally perfect concert, and the fact that literally everyone was sobbing just makes it so powerful to watch, even 10 years later on YouTube at 12:00 AM.

Having seen Jeff in person 2 times now (and planning to see him again) this documentary just does a perfect job at showcasing his vibe, which is honestly why he is so iconic. There is a reason I have heard multiple people call him the John Lennon of Pop Punk. The genre/scene would not be the same without him.

I will never forget my Gwilliam

The fuck?

Still Amazing if not a wee bit problematic

Watched on Tuesday June 25, 2024.

A fantastic exploration of the myth/legend of Slender man, did some really interesting things blurring the line between fact or fiction to mimic what was being discussed.

I did feel like the film sort of struggled to decide what it’s central message was, it sort of just raised ideas without much of a central premise to circle back to at the end.

Once again, an absolutely amazing outing from Jane Schoenbrun, I cannot wait to see what they do in the future, all of their films have found such a way to move me while being so simple.

Slightly better than the OG

Just a goofy fun time
