  Ruben Brandt: Collector 2018

  ★★★★ Watched 13 Nov 2019

  You ever pause a movie while streaming to buy a physical copy? I truly don't understand why the internet hasn't lost its damn mind over this movie.

  If you give even a single solitary fuck about animation please please please watch this movie. I think "like nothing you've ever seen before" gets overused, but this truly is like nothing you've ever seen before.

  The great joy here is absolutely in the style, but I think the story is also thoroughly…

  Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 2023

  ★★½ Watched 30 May 2023

  Perhaps the only thing you need to know about Across the Spider-Verse is that early in the film a character says you can’t have your cake and eat it too, and Miles Morales (Shameik Moore), the central Spider-person of the film, responds “you can if you have two cakes.” While there is only one movie here, it feels like that logic of cake having and eating applied to everything in Across the Spider-Verse.

  During the six minutes that this runs, one roommate came home and, just as this was getting to the close ups of penetration I was not at…

  A Dog's Life 1918

  ★★★★ Watched 01 Jan 2020

  Has big "fuck the police" energy, specifically from a "the police are the enforcers of capitalist inequality" standpoint which makes it all the better. Points out the injustices of the way women in the service industry are treated by patrons and bosses alike. And is also hilarious (only one bit went on a little too long for me) and has an adorable dog.
