The Sandman absolutely delivers, but so does every. single. other. weird. character. in. this. movie!!!!! Character actors GALORE. The score is enchanting, beautiful, strange, etc. The Safdies created SUCH a perfect nightmare of a movie. It’s a rush of adrenaline from start to finish and the web is woven with precision. Absolutely loved it.

i’m sure i would’ve enjoyed this more if children weren’t my greatest fear

forgot to log this — watched it the other night. 90% of the character decisions are dumb and the plot flows like someone trying to recount a movie that they haven’t seen...but Kevin Bacon really be moving that thing around 👀 🍑

J.J. Abrams said, “hmmm...MacGuffins or fan service??? why not both? and why not fill the movie with those things until nothing matters anymore?”

J.J. Abrams said, “hmmmm...Reddit doesn’t like Kelly Marie Tran...let me take her out of the plot completely and then, also, let me ask Reddit to help with the screenplay”

BUT...

J.J. Abrams also said, “hmmmm...Babu Frik” (which was a GREAT decision)

The Home Alone guy was great in this!

Pretty decent. The plot doesn’t make much sense, but the jokes are solid. The Yachty cameo made me laugh. The cast is good (shoutout to Andy Serkis — his role is insane). Overall: cute and not too cringy!

psssssst, I don’t really get the hype around Noah Baumbach...sorry

Soundtrack goes SO hard. Nightcall might be the best song ever made tbh

Still kind of a boring screenplay, still the GOAT biopic performance.
