    Thank you for giving our precious Pussy a ride home. We love Pussy.
    Yes, we do.

    Say what you want about Quentin Tarantino, the man knows how to make you walk out of a 2 hour and 40 minute movie with a huge fucking smile on your face. Very Highly Recommended.

    It’s like I’ve been in a dream where I was really invested in the Zack Snyder cut of the Justice League.

    Why I Watched: If you'd have told me a year ago that I'd be seeing Barbie on the big screen before Oppenheimer this weekend, I'd have said you're out of your mind. But I have great faith in Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach, and there's been absolutely nothing but positive buzz on this for weeks.

    How It Went: Whatever…

    You could be the richest man on Earth.

    "It's just psychological."

    Why to Watch: Director Park Chan-Wook, covered recently on the Blank Check podcast, is one of the most idiosyncratic filmmakers working today. This Korean vampire slash love story features Song Kang-Ho and is currently available on Peacock.

    How It Went: The synopsis of "vampire love story" doesn't even begin to describe the places this thing goes. It's sexy, grotesque, blasphemous, and funny. The sets are highly stylized, the effects are impressively rendered, and the performances are intense.…

    We're in love. We just want to be together. What's wrong with that?

    This movie is like pushing a magic reset button on how it feels to be young, in love, and part of something real for the first time in your life. Sam and Suzy are all of us, fighting against seemingly the whole rest of the world to find our own happiness. As a matter of course for any Wes Anderson film, the production design is absolutely mesmerizing…

    The Piano

    ★★½

    There is a silence where hath been no sound / There is a silence where no sound may be / In the cold grave, under the deep deep sea.

    A woman wrote and directed this film, so I guess any problems I have with the concept of a woman prostituting herself for a piano and then falling in love with the man who purchased her for that price are due to my own ignorance. But, regardless... Eww. I have no…
