2026 watch #7: Reality Bites. God help me, I would still pick Troy, which is why I have to be single.

2026 watch #6: Dead Man's Wire. The first film from director Gus Van Sant in a hot minute, based on the true story of Tony Kiritsis holding a man hostage with a trip-wire hooked to a shotgun and the media circus that followed. It may be discount bin Dog Day Afternoon, but still a fun hang.

They have fucking assault rifles and we have whistles and they’re scared shitless, because they know we’d rather be righteous and dead than ever be them.

2026 watch #5: Oldboy. I got a real sensitive friend, has to Google movies before watching them, can't handle a whiff of violence. A shitty friend somehow got her to go into Oldboy blind, and it made her throw up. She's still traumatized. And you know what? That's legit, this is still bugfuck crazy.
