  The Northman 2022

  This movie’s saving grace is that it understands that every member of organized crime is really just some guy who wants to talk at you while you’re forced to sit in silence and drink the most disgusting rum & coke you’ve ever had in your life

  really glad that Denis Villeneuve understands that:
  -the best part of sci-fi movies is watching big weird ships take-off & land extremely slowly

  -the most important part of sci-fi movies is watching cool strange people slowly exit those big weird ships

  Denzel shouting, “your dick is as hard as chinese arithmetic, why is that, huh!?” would have caused audiences to go absolutely nuts in 1997, the year I assume this was supposed to be released
