  Tokyo Drifter 1966

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 08 Nov 2021

  I’m convinced Tokyo Drifter’s climax contains all the secrets of the universe. Or at least, just as much as you need to know.

  La Notte 1961

  ★★★★★ Watched 31 Oct 2021

  The lingering feeling of nothingness we try to suppress in our everyday lives. All these little distractions that keep us from looking too far into ourselves, where we know all we’d find is nothing.

  Getting a kick out of imagining Emerald Fennell watching Teorema and thinking it’s a movie about a guy fucking in a nice house

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  This film doesn’t know if it wants to be a sleazy slasher or a prestige picture and ends up failing at both. It’s honestly amazing how worse this film gets with every passing minute, with one of the worst endings in recent history. Was very disappointed that Mulligan only gets to kill one man in this. She could’ve at least killed Bo Burnham, I fucking hate that guy.

  Bo Burnham: Inside 2021

  ★ Watched 07 Jun 2021

  Bo Burnham is clearly talented when it comes to the technical side of filmmaking. He just has absolutely nothing interesting to say. I cannot begin to describe how agonizing sitting through this was.
