Space Cadet Odette

Wow I feel vindicated in thinking Emila Perez was a truly bad movie.

Also, the bizarre and totally left-field use of jamaican patois. Its so weird that a whole litany of adults signed off on that.

Season 3 is good again, we are so back. So this is Frasier? Fascinating. I had an unconventional upbringing, so I am unfamiliar with most television culture. I've never seen Nikelodeon or Fresh Prince of Bel Air or Friends or any TV really, except as an adult.

Meet Joe Black
Wildly long movie with so little plot. But the end, like, they're just having a romantic moment together while her dad is 15 ft away, dead in the grass?? Then they just walk off???

Also for the record, I am aware of Letterboxed stop telling me that this account is basically a letterboxed. I know that. I'm not dumb I just enjoy really dumb media!

Anora
I'm so glad I declined to see this movie with my mom. I'm Sean Baker neutral, so I don't have a strong opinion about whether he should or shouldn't use SWs as a topic. Its a good, very pretty film. She should have been paid so much more for a week engagement it made me so mad.

A Knights Tale
Uh oh! Anachronism detected?!? Absolutely wild that they gave Chaucer a bad boy back story, like name one other movie where you repeatedly see Chaucer's ass. I'm kind of obsessed with the "Oh so you're the best? Lose for me to prove you love me" power play, brutal and hot. Great film.

Final Cut Ladies and Gentlemen
An impressive lil project, but also remarkable for how much film guys in this era loved Sin City. All together a good time good job.

Boo it got boring. No more Cheers.

Season 2 looks not as good. I liked the gag that the scene never leaves the bar and Diane and Sam never get together. Ep1 S2 they're together AND out of the bar :( I'll stick with it for a bit and hope it gets good again.

Cheers
I got weirdly addicted to Cheers over the past two weeks. Not something I was expecting! But damn it is so well written, the characters are so good and the jokes are so smart and funny. The poignant moments are so well done, I was experiencing deep empathy and joy with the characters.

Challengers
After I got over the betrayal that there's just one boy kiss and no boy sex, I could appreciate that this is a good movie. Copious amounts of sweat and unpleasant forced perspective aside. Love a Trent Reznor soundtrack.

Unsurprisingly, we watched it stoned. During the sex scene montage we muted the movie and played the Aerosmith song from Armageddon and it synced perfectly. Which made the whole thing worthwhile.

Benjamin Button
A Forrest Gump knockoff with cloying "life lessons" peppered between a man out of time, witnessing world events. You have to watch the whole thing cuz you know the ending will be so weird and probably gross, and it is, but god what an awful, long movie.

The Dead Don't Die
I do not understand how Jim Jarmusch makes some movies that are good and then some movies that are not. This is a not. It seemed like an excuse to hang out with some of his friends and goof off, which is ok, but don't make it a movie, Jim.

audience, I hate burner AI trip-out Grimes shit. But, if I could drop acid and watch 2001 in the Sphere then that would be just great and I'm sure I wouldn't experience a psychic break I promise. Anyway, the most beautiful movie ever, now I want to do a HAL themed role play.

2001: A Space Odyssey
Obviously I have seen this before, but I watched it very high with a friend who had not. And dang, look at the ballz on this film, guys. I've been receiving lots of targeted advertising for an Anyma show in the Las Vegas Sphere, and first of all, I'm not the correct targeted-

I liked the conclusion that you should hire someone to humiliate you, rather than letting it bleed into your whole life, but the rest of the ending was pure untethered fantasy. I did enjoy that the other conclusion of the movie was "fingering is cool". Great use of George Michael's Father Figure.

Babygirl
I had high hopes! But this movie was girlporn. The psychic bad boy who intuits your fantasies, but has no backstory or character development. Who conveniently is just gone, with zero repercussions, as soon as you don't need him. You still get to keep your marriage and be the CEO of amazon

Madam Web
Wow, this was a baaaad movie. But it was interesting that they talk openly about surveillance NSA tech and how scary it is. I feel like after 2015 movies weren't allowed to use NSA surveillance as a plot point anymore, we all just had to pretend that they can't access every camera anytime

I hate Avengers, and I generally love super hero movies. Avengers are so cancerous. Every Marvel movie has to reference stupid Tony Stark. Every plot has to mention the dumbass infinity war and its dumb and I hate it. Im crushed that the XMen are now locked into that garbage, its really upsetting :(

Deadpool and Wolverine
It saddens me deeply that the X Men are being roped into the Avenger universe, and it saddens me to an even greater degree that this is the manner in which they got folded in :( This whole movie was an excuse to indelicately alert everyone that the Avenger franchise ate X Men

Infinite
A real pooper. The only saving grace of this movie is that Marky Mark is not the romantic lead. They do some gratuitous muscle shots, but no kissing, thank god. Also, I'm on the side of the nihilists, break Samsara! Escape the wheel!

Movies I started and didn't finish:
Joker 2
Ant Man and the Wasp
Beau is Afraid

Ooops its been a while!

I think its cool af that faith has weird age-old common tropes and themes. I'm not religious at all and thats still interesting to me, not the dunk/own that atheists think it is. If you're attacking religion, attack the corrupt church and social manipulations, the stories are actually really cool

Heretic
Get this guy access to a computer, a reddit account and youtube channel. He just needed an outlet for his atheist gotcha games. But also a great example of why I hate atheist "logic". Citing that all religions have similarities dating back millennia just makes them sound cooler, imo.

Also I really hate the trope of a visibly-disabled-super-intelligent-but-kind-of-evil scientist. Its so prevalent and gross. In this movie especially there seemed to be extra attention paid to his disability being the metaphor of his moral turpitude. Yikes.

Source Code
Extremely politically confused. The military/government is clearly the villain and are torturing the soldier in the most fucked up way, but the movie is written such that we're supposed to excuse it or see it as merited and heroic? I have questions about the politics of the writers.

Predestination
Holy shit. This is the first movie that I feel strongly about not ruining the plot. Decadently bad time travel. This might be the jewel of my collection, the ender to my Bad Time Travel Film Fest. It so extremely bad. But also incredible, perfect, gorgeous. I love it so much.
