    yall… pleaseeeee come on lmao………. this is a marketing campaign in search of a movie. have you ever seen any episode of criminal minds like that is what we are working with here diva…

  • Poor Things

    Poor Things

    sexy amelia bedelia in bell sleeves! very enjoyable to watch in a crowded theater but wow, that middle stretch’s framing of sex work and total lack of interest in the circumstances surrounding that world — coupled with the dubious-at-best premise that a hottie with the brain of a toddler is just constantly dying for sex! — does not exactly lend itself to a… particularly feminist reading

    that said, ruffalo seemed to be having the time of his life, and stone…

  • Past Lives

    Past Lives

    ★★★★★

    the past self is at once you and and as unknowable as a stranger. we cannot be them again, and we cannot know who we will one day become. your experience is just a series of daily choices and fleeting connections and then one day you look up and it’s still your life, but everything’s different. human connection is a miracle. ok. wow. cracked me open :))))

  • Our Father

    Our Father

    printing out a photo of someone and crossing out their eyes with sharpie! [man moaning] every 10 minutes! literal reenactment of a man doing what he did! all super normal and good elements of documentary filmmaking. not finishing this❤️

    i love when things are the social network

  • Ex Machina

    Ex Machina

    ★★★★★

    as it turns out, very telling of what i like about cinema: seeing and being seen, attention paid and rescinded, two people talking to and past each other, observations and meditations on the universe, the human condition, a sprinkling of truly gnarly action, dense scenes of dialogue. the rewatchability of this thing is off the damn charts. this is his directorial debut!!! *bangs silverware on the table* give me more more more

  • Persona: The Dark Truth Behind Personality Tests

    Persona: The Dark Truth Behind Personality Tests

    ★★

    as a person who studied psychology and had every intention to continue in those studies, why can’t any documentary i’m interested in be focused and incisive? this wants to be soooo many things and in so doing succeeds at none. this is so annoying i want to watch documentaries about this shit!!! be better at making documentaries

    also the creator of the myers briggs type indicator sucks and is a non-psychologally trained girlboss racist who thinks people with lower iqs were incapable of self-perception so jot that down

  • Memento

    Memento

    ★★★★

    spent so much of this viewing experience crippled by the thought of how easily a person in this situation would be taken advantage of and how scared i am of this happening to me!!! anyway i already need to rewatch this. if i was leonard i would simply have created a note on my iphone
