aaron from hit factory @notoriouslightning.bsky.social · 04/12/2025i really enjoyed OBAA, a movie that invites - even necessitates - consideration of its political propositions, and is made more essential by acknowledging its material contradictions. 130
aaron from hit factory @notoriouslightning.bsky.social · 04/11/2025Had an awesome time talking about one of my favorite filmmakers, Clint Eastwood, and two thoughtful meditations on justice that conceal some remarkably subversive ideas beneath their handsome studio thriller facades. 020

aaron from hit factory @notoriouslightning.bsky.social · 31/10/2025Rodriguez's THE FACULTY is a much smarter movie than suggested at first glance...a clever probing of capitalism's oppressive hierarchies and our inability to structure meaningful alternatives, all in the skin of fun teen sci-fi/horror riff. 150
aaron from hit factory @notoriouslightning.bsky.social · 24/10/2025struggled with Kore-eda a little bit...a filmmaker i found stuck in a dispassionate and unfulfilling middle ground between slow cinema's formal discipline and a mawkish dramaturgy. 121

aaron from hit factory @notoriouslightning.bsky.social · 23/10/2025sorry, i'm confused...did you get a nazi tattoo because you were drunk with some marine buddies in croatia without knowing what it meant, or because you "used to say and believe things that today [you] find abhorrent"? 28813

Reposted by aaron from hit factoryDeep Impact Crier @deepimpactcrier.bsky.social · 17/10/2025I really like what Aaron said when I asked him pointedly what he thought Magnolia was about: reckoning with the truth of life, that living is often being both a recipient of and a source of pain. Interestingly and typical of PTA, he doesn’t really offer an answer. 0369
