Life begins and ends with Park Chan-wook. All of my opinions are bad but I'm working on it.

nobody is entitled to a public platform. nobody is entitled to professional renown and success. those things are privileges actually

like idk man sure i think personal growth is important and stuff but also you can just be a barista. i think if you had really reckoned with the weight of what you did youd stop yourself before ending up in a position where thousands of sexual assault survivors learn they supported you, a rapist

Can't imagine having so much disposable income sitting around that I would pay actual money to see an Inarritu film in the year of our lord 2026, but I'm happy the rest of you are apparently thriving.

Hearing reports that a new Inarritu movie sucks ass.

It's funny that for what it's reputation at the time was (and frankly what it still is) SE7EN almost plays relatively tame in terms of the violence it actually shows compared to your average Criminal Minds episode or Netflix true crime slop show.

You watch something like THE INSIDER and you really just question why anyone ever watches some crap like NETWORK.

Really appreciate that the cop character in COLONY really only exists to cause problems for the other survivors, completely worthless, as he should be.

This is admittedly very reductive, but THE SWIMMER feels like it does for the 60's what AMERICAN BEAUTY tried to do for the 90's.

my daughter is watching Hook and it's so magical to re-experience that from a child's perspective: the first time you realize a movie can absolutely suck shit

Don't really understand the take that the last couple minutes of TAXI DRIVER are a fantasy/death dream. Think it severely weakens the text to have Travis' veneration at the end not be real.

Interviews with all the other crew working on the Sony lot at the time about hanging out with Spielberg while he was avoiding the set.

Brolin just an incredibly terrible hang in SICARIO (complimentary, obviously).

Rewatching CRAWL. We don't spend enough time talking about how crazy it is that crocodiles and alligators exist.

THE WOLF OF WALL STREET: Not the best Scorsese gangster film, but certainly the most. The perfect intersection of Henry Hill's unrepentant confessional with Ace Rothstein's desperate need for attention. A three hour bullet train nightmare farce.

I feel like people forget that the "you gotta pump those numbers up" meme from WOLF OF WALL STREET is in regards to McConaughey jerking off.

Rewatched OBSESSION after having rewatching KING OF COMEDY recently, it's funny that they have almost the exact same scene. Both protagonist looking at the person they've put through hell the whole movie asking if it would've been so bad to just give them what they wanted from the start.

Rewatching SHUTTER ISLAND. Sure, this movie is bracingly sad at times, but like every Scorsese genre assignment, it fucking rocks.

THE AVIATOR such a better vehicle for DiCaprio to detonate his heartthrob image than GANGS OF NEW YORK was. (It's also just a better movie, I think)
