Copenhagen Cowboy 2023
watched in one sitting.

Absolutely love how much of a moron the killer is.
Almost feels like Wes is reminiscing youth here, and channels it through satirising the pop culture trend of 80s horror and the teenager’s craze around it all.

Reality and movies merging.
Wouldn’t even call this horror. Definitely more comedy. A true classic.

American Psycho 2000
"I'm into, uh, well, murders and executions, mostly."
I am not hesitant whatsoever when I say that American Psycho is the most feminist movie ever made.
It's 100 minutes of mocking men...and it's done beautifully.
