i'm sorry to whoever's true story this is that you had to live through the same recycled bury-your-gays plot with another pair of white, conventionally-attractive leads played by heterosexuals. truly tragic.

Fresh 2022
I went into this knowing it was going to be average. But this actually suprised me. It was much worse.
The only thing fresh about it is the title. It takes itself too seriously for how stupid it is. The characters were unfinished. The jokes were overdone. It's too predictable to be scary, too unoriginal to be funny. Its not even bad enough to be good. Just plain mediocrity adding to the endless sea of content these streaming companies are force feeding us.I'm just honestly pissed.
Because I expected more from a film that has Sebastian Stan's dick bit off.

Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown 1988
Been a long while since I've seen an Almodovar film. I forgot how much personality and absurdity and hysteria there was. Had trouble sittting with it at first. But god! When I finally settled in!
I didn't realize how much I missed the absolute thrill and stupid fun of Almodovar films. Couldn't stop smiling through that chaotic final act. I was in tears screaming crying pissing myself laughing vomiting
Instant favorite.
Also. Young Antonio Banderas hhhhh antoniobanderasantoniobansdddddsjjdj no i am not foaming in the mouth!!

Un Chien Andalou 1929
Film school making me do the weirdest shit.
Not complaining tho, this was an oddly fun watch. -
Napoleon 1927
I hope one day I can watch this in a giant theatre with three screens and tens of thousands of other people. Gance was a visionary and I will not be dishonoring this art by watching this on any screen smaller than my own physical body!!
-- this was me after watching ONE yt video essay about french impressionist cinema for a crammed report, high on five cups of coffee --

Army of the Dead 2021
A-tier zombie movie. A bit corny for my taste but I guess that comes with the zombie genre. I'm glad Snyder didn't take this film too seriously. Action-packed, ridiculous, lots of fun, and a really good cast too. There were some clever details building on a sequel. It's definitely up there with the best of its genre, lightyears above most zombie offerings though that's not saying much.
