Watched: The Mastermind 🍿

It doesn’t have the atmosphere of First Cow or Meek’s Cutoff. So much of this film could’ve been transported to any time and it would’ve been the same movie.

Watched: Who Killed the Montreal Expos? 🍿

90 minutes of everyone blaming everyone else.

Watched: Breakdown: 1975 🍿

Another documentary that wants to remind you the 70s sucked. It’s supposed to be centered around 1975 but a good chunk of the material comes from other years. But regardless it’s fine.

Never read the book, but damn did this wreck me in the best ways possible.

Watched: The Running Man 🍿

Michael Cera’s revolutionary Kevin McCallister is the best part, after that it kind of goes downhill.

Watched: Hamnet 🍿

The shooting, the sets, and the vibes are top level. The movie itself is the embodiment of slow cinema and not necessarily in the good way. It’ll get its nominations deservedly but it already feels like a movie that’ll be a watch and forget pretty quickly.

Watched: Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery 🍿

Daniel Craig continued to be the best thing about the film but it drags, especially in the middle. Still a delight, but not as delightful of a doughnut hole within a doughnut hole.

Watched: The Conjuring: Last Rites 🍿

Not the worst of the Conjuring series but that’s not a huge accomplishment given all the movies since the first have been generally terrible. Add in the misguided attempt to redeem the Warrens and it’s a generally miserable movie.

Watched: The Social Network 🍿

The genesis story of why everything is so terrible today. Everyone in the film is just terrible, and the 15 years since have only proven that out even more.

A true ship of Theseus. Longest serving full time member of Kansas has only been in the band since 2014 and the audience probably had an older average age than the band. Didn’t matter to the guy next to me who had a hell of time.
