recently watched Cinema Paradiso and can’t help but feel that it’s a bit gassed up. It has an amazing first and third act (phenomenal ending too) but the romance storyline is kinda eh.

Kurosawa’s Cloud is very interesting. It’s a three phased metamorphosis that explores the many variations of horror. The capitalism theming of it is very curious too, putting it on the reselling culture and how it damages society in more ways than one.

Serpent’s Path next!

Oh wait theres dms!

still waiting for dms and bookmarks to come to bluesky so i can fully transition to here. so done with elon’s shit.

geh

so every august i do this thing called “the august gauntlet” which is just me watching a movie a day for the whole of august. it also stacks with my yearly classics week but i’ll talk about that next time.

anyway, i thought it would be cute to do a 9 frame post for all the movies!

so here u go!

Alien 3 is essentially the yesteryears’ The Last Jedi. It’s an anti sequel and rejects the ethos built from the previous movies.

my top ten films of the year. i didn’t get to catch anatomy of a fall and iron claw unfortunately.

My favorite animated film of the year is probably The Boy and The Heron. I have yet to see Nimona and TMNT but from what I’ve seen, it’s probably not going to usurp that position. However, the original JP title I think has more meaning to the film than the localized one, which, is more literal.

I was watching May December (not yet done) but it’s interesting how it’ll have these occasional slow zoom ins. I wonder what’s the idea behind that.

whats the point of submitting my timesheet ahead of one week when yr gonna pay me literally end of month???

where are all the good shitpost accounts?

Finally got around to watching The Holdovers and my god, this is easily going up on the “re-watch every christmas” list. The way it’s edited gives it such a charming vibe too.
