  Oldboy 2003

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 16 Nov 2024 2

  lee woo jin’s entrance into this movie is fuckin legendary. dae su just fought an army of men with sticks, bats, and knives using only his fists and a hammer only for him to run into the man he’s been looking for on the street in a bucket hat. what a killer fucking entrance. my fucking goat.

  i’m so glad jenna finally watched old boy! this is the best day of my life!!! thank you ivan for showing me old boy, i’m spreading the word like one of your apostles!

  the trope (and by trope, i mean legitimate real life…

  A Real Pain 2024

  ★★★★★ Watched 12 Jan 2025

  “aw man, you used to, like, feel everything.”
  
  it’s hard, because i understand both of them. i really do. there are times where i’ve been both of them. they’re both alarmingly complicated and violently simple. 

  “but i live in my mom’s basement” devastated me. he loved his grandmother so much and to find that out probably killed him. only for it to be followed by the dinner table monologue talking about david’s ways of trying to cope with pain.

  which is…
