Damian Oaks @damianjoaks.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Can'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. 100
Damian Oaks @damianjoaks.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Dariusz Wolski kinda popped off with the new RESIDENT EVIL. His best work in a minute. 000
Damian Oaks @damianjoaks.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Hearing reports that a new Inarritu movie sucks ass. 100
Damian Oaks @damianjoaks.bsky.social · 22/09/2026It'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. 110
Damian Oaks @damianjoaks.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Some other 1980 films: THE SHINING, RAGING BULL, EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, MELVIN AND HOWARD, THE ELEPHANT MAN, AIRPLANE, THE FOG, KAGEMUSHA, INFERNO, DRESSED TO KILL, THE LONG GOOD FRIDAY, CRUISING, MANIAC, AMERICAN GIAGLO, USED CARS, HEAVEN'S GATE, THE CHANGELING, ect. Pretty good year for movies. 000
Damian Oaks @damianjoaks.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Wait, is ORDINARY PEOPLE actually just a sincere "wrong kid died" movie? 100
Damian Oaks @damianjoaks.bsky.social · 11/09/2026You watch something like THE INSIDER and you really just question why anyone ever watches some crap like NETWORK. 110
Damian Oaks @damianjoaks.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Really appreciate that the cop character in COLONY really only exists to cause problems for the other survivors, completely worthless, as he should be. 100
Damian Oaks @damianjoaks.bsky.social · 04/09/2026This 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. 010
Reposted by Damian Oaksarr @arr.bsky.social · 31/08/2026my 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 862473233
Damian Oaks @damianjoaks.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Don'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. 200
Damian Oaks @damianjoaks.bsky.social · 30/08/2026These two, i swear youtu.be/ALFpRJKnK2U?...youtu.beSiskel & Ebert & the ProtestantsYouTube video by hotmonger 100
Damian Oaks @damianjoaks.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Sort of tickled that THIS is the Ridley picture thats broken the camels back in terms of critical reception. 000

Damian Oaks @damianjoaks.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Brolin just an incredibly terrible hang in SICARIO (complimentary, obviously). 010
Damian Oaks @damianjoaks.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Rewatching CRAWL. We don't spend enough time talking about how crazy it is that crocodiles and alligators exist. 000
Damian Oaks @damianjoaks.bsky.social · 23/08/2026This looks like the part of Scotland Glazer used for the second half of UNDER THE SKIN 001
Damian Oaks @damianjoaks.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Very funny (very Ebert) way to describe the way Cybill Shepherd reacts to Travis 100
Damian Oaks @damianjoaks.bsky.social · 21/08/2026THE 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. 000
Damian Oaks @damianjoaks.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I 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. 100

Damian Oaks @damianjoaks.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Got to see the theatrical cut of MIAMI VICE on 35mm tonight, transcendent stuff. 000
Damian Oaks @damianjoaks.bsky.social · 15/08/2026Rewatched 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. 000
Damian Oaks @damianjoaks.bsky.social · 15/08/2026It's so funny that HUGO and THE ARTIST came out the same year. 010
Damian Oaks @damianjoaks.bsky.social · 14/08/2026JJ Abrams watching David Robert Mitchell make the movie he's probably wanted to make for forty years 000

Damian Oaks @damianjoaks.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Rewatching SHUTTER ISLAND. Sure, this movie is bracingly sad at times, but like every Scorsese genre assignment, it fucking rocks. 100
Damian Oaks @damianjoaks.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Favorite film for each year of the 70's 1970: FIVE EASY PIECES 1971: WAKE IN FRIGHT 1972: THE GODFATHER 1973: PAT GARRETT AND BILLY THE KID 1974: BRING ME THE HEAD OF ALFREDO GARCIA 1975: BARRY LYNDON 1976: TAXI DRIVER 1977: OPENING NIGHT 1978: SUPERMAN 1979: ALIEN 000

Damian Oaks @damianjoaks.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Rewatched all of FMA '03, still my single favorite anime I've ever watched. 000
Damian Oaks @damianjoaks.bsky.social · 05/08/2026THE AVIATOR goes up a little every time I watch it and GANGS goes down a little. 000
Damian Oaks @damianjoaks.bsky.social · 05/08/2026Is Blanchett good in this or catastrophically terrible? I honestly don't know. 100
Damian Oaks @damianjoaks.bsky.social · 05/08/2026THE 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) 110
