Especially at sunrise!
A view out of the observation car on the Sunset Limited between LA and Tucson, somewhere just past Yuma, the sun is rising in the corner, shining through the frames between the panes of glass, painting the landscape a beautiful shade of gold.

SWORDFISH (2001) Dropping the bit for a second, look at that fucking beard, are you serious, people thought this was cool?! The first half of this is so fucking edgy, it wants to be Fincher sooooo fucking bad it's crazy, then the action scenes kick in and holy shit, lmao, holy fuck.

DUEL (1971) Damn that fucking rules, 90 minutes of a guy being harassed by the most evil and cruel of Gods creatures, the truck driver? Spielberg made movies that looked and flowed like this, _for TV_, _In 1971???_ What?!

THE FABELMANS (2022) Fucking hell, Spielberg man, no-one does it quite like him huh. Incredibly warm at times, but also unbelievably self-critical, a kid drawing into his obsessions as his family life is out of control? Damn, couldn't relate!

TWILIGHT (2008) Watch this film in the cinema, if it ever comes on in a cinema with you drop everything and watch it I am not kidding.
Peter Griffin dressed up like Dracula with a massive bulge in his pants, why am I still doing this as a bit, it's quite bad.

MULHOLLAND DRIVE (2001) I was sat in front of two people who had clearly never seen it before and were hooting and hollering in bewilderment, it was great, added to the film, two more watches and I think I might finally get it.

A few years ago a friend of mine gave me the worst camera possible, an 18x18 camera with a sensor used in an optical mouse, it had a readout rate of 3 seconds per frame, only worked outdoors and needed to be hooked up to a laptop. Is this shitty enough?

CUBE ZERO (2004) HEY WAIT THIS ONE KIND OF RULED, all of the worldbuilding is so vague yet so good, a guy got turned into soap, some guy had a chip in his brain, the ending was a little weak and its a lot less focussed than the original but goddamn if it wasn't a pretty big swing for the fences.

CUBE (1997) As with Event Horizon, movies from 1997 loved trapping people in an environment. This one’s great though, really tight and tense, entirely in a set-and-a-half. Really stands out in that the threat of the traps is much more prevalent, probably because there was no money for it.

DRIVE (2011) A movie that solidified Ryan Gosling as "literally me", the movie that sold a thousand jackets. I love it, it's tense, beautiful to look at, the score and soundtrack are great, that man is autistic, I am sure of it.

ASSAULT ON PRECINCT 13 (1976) John Carpenter was there at the moment America went full suburban paranoia and fucking ran with it. Serial killers, street gangs, satanists, aliens in the Antarctic. He did it all. Really good, tense as hell, it's clear that so many movies tried to be this and failed.

Every now and then the Disney Corporation makes a movie that asks a bunch of kids "hey wouldn’t it be cool if you could be an animal? But also like, a person? That would be fun right? An animal? That’s right! 𝐘𝐎𝐔 ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self )" and it ruins them forever and makes Disney trillions.

SPEED RACER (2008) Sort of gave up hope thinking this thing would get a re-release, holy fuck. Its so good, you know its so good, as Speed races towards the finish line in a perfect display of his art and the plot arcs all knit together my eyes flood with tears, I feel no pain, I am struck blind.

The best part of this movie is when Sean Connery shows up in a Will A. Zeppeli fashion: arrive in an incredible fit, explain the deal of the setting to the protagonist, then die immediately.

HIGHLANDER (1986) Holy shit hoooooly shit that was so cool, I can see why people got obsessed with this. This was just what New York was like in the 80s.

I LOVE BOOSTERS (2026) Advanced screening! Holy shit! Boots Riley does it again! Another incredibly surreal, _incredibly_ communist movie, so much going on at all times, won't say more, but the most important thing is that this is the most I have heard the phrase "dialectical materialism" in a film.
A frame from the film I Love Boosters, 3 women all wearing yellow in a yellow room, Karl Marx is edited into the background but he might as well be there considering how incredibly communist I Love Boosters is

THE EXPANSE (2015-2022) REWATCH Genuinely what a show, absolutely dripping with intrigue from moment one, last time I watched it I found that Holden was boring but y'know what, I liked him a whole lot more, he is uncompromising, a guy desperately trying to do the right thing, despite it all.
