Movies are so freaking awesomesauce! Mostly on here to log rewatches of John Wick or Boogie Nights.
All movies are good. cinema is ★★★★★.
For what it's worth, I didn't hate it! There's definitely an elephant in the room going on here, seeing an 80-year-old Ford in the ragged clothes of someone he's definitely too old to play.
