    Quick thoughts:
    -Aaron Eckhart’s performance goes under the radar 
    -Heath Ledger’s Joker is the best CBM villain (ofc)
    -The camerawork is injected with so much energy 
    -One of the best opening scenes of all time 
    -It’s funnier than I remembered
    -The interrogation scene is phenomenal

    My only slight issue is that Gotham’s aesthetic isn’t as gothic as it was in Batman Begins.

    How does someone follow one of the greatest and most profoundly summative farewells the movies have ever seen? By definition, they don’t. They retire, or they die. Or they retire and then they die. In some rare cases, it even seems like they die because they retired.

    And then there’s 82-year-old filmmaker and Studio Ghibli co-founder Hayao Miyazaki, always in a category of his own, who’s formally or informally quit the business no fewer than seven times of the course…

  • Sleeping with Other People

    ★★★ Watched by Benjamin 07 Sep 2023

    This is basically When Harry Met Sally and shockingly, Sudeikis makes a passable replacement for Billy Crystal.

    John Carney has somehow made the same movie four times now and it’s still charming.
