Watchmen 2009
this movie is a failure in the same way the last season of game of thrones is a failure.
i don't love this movie. but i'm not above it.
it leans on music too much.
it's such an overstuffed mess. it's almost exciting.
inconsistencies with the book that drove me insane: ozymandias isn't as easily recognizable as the bad guy in the graphic novel and making him so clearly a bad guy from the get-go makes the entire story less…

Running with Beto 2019
No substance on issues
No campaign team in-fighting drama
Inspires some vague general civic pride -

Guava Island 2019
wtf. Deni and the islanders needed to organize for a 5 day work week.
A funeral is not a day off.
Deni had the platform to make demands. Established power, Red, found Deni threatening. But instead he just does his music. Deni has no vision. The film offers no political alternative to exploitation. Everything just goes back to the way it was the day after the funeral.
The real tragedy: Rihanna doesn’t get a verse

The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley 2019
My favorite part is when the guy in the bitcoin tie talks about how jumping into things early with little information always works out for him.
Lying is easier when it's for charity is not the moral of this story. The framing with Einstein and the use of Ariely's behavior science don't provide the critical perspective needed. They should've brought in a better read cultural critic.
This is about power and money and gender. Horny old men who were once…
