Prisoners, by Denis Villeneuve.
One of the few films of his that I hadn’t seen. Extremely good. Just, wow, no sci-fi or vfx or trippy mind spiders needed, just drama so intense it’s almost painful. He’s excellent. |
The Before Trilogy (Linklater).
Fucking brilliant. Endlessly rewatchable. |

Brilliant. I have discussions with a few people who watched these when they were released, and their favourite ones and feelings about each one changes with age. I (currently) love the middle one best. In just over an hour in real time, they go from a surprise reunion to both of them knowing that he will miss that plane. The pacing never feels rushed/forced. In a just world, the ending of this film would be as well known as "We'll always have Paris". Delpy is fucking genius. Hawke is also. What they do in those long takes is nothing short of astonishing. |
the self claimed classic of late night 90s tv: "Ski School"
|
The little things on HBO Max. Pretty pointless movie, honestly.
I heard that it was initially written in the ‘90s. Feels like it. Also it’s a proper snoozer. Nice opening scene I guess but meh. One of those Silence of the Lambs Fever movies. Meh |
The Florida Project. Absolute garbage imo, not my thing at all.

but by the time we get to the third one, im like "these people are stupid!" and it makes me wonder if they grew up at all or if they're forever stuck in the same groove of their emotional broken record. this doesn't make it a worse movie btw--it's a monument to the perils of late late late late late late late adolescence :D goddammit, i wanna rewatch it now |
anyway i watched
![]() which was just a box i was trying to check but turned out very interesting, a great play except maybe for the end also ![]() which i had seen ages ago on tv but it's still funny expecially in today's retail investor climate |
I followed up Ski School with Barbarella.

Same here. One of those "yeah, I will do at some point." films n |

Cinemax does not come with HBO for me, I don’t think. I have a bunch of shit though, maybe it’s somewhere |
![]() Some movies never get old, like some of the other movies by Ridley Scott (Alien, Blade Runner). This one clearly does. Story is pretty lame as well. The makeup was even nominated for an Oscar, it looked cheesy to me. |

But...you get Tom Cruise, and Mia Sara, and Tim Curry, and Billy Barty, and Robert Picardo. |
apparently i missed this one in 1999
![]() it looked funny, then took a dark turn, then it got funny again. very derivative of pulp fiction, but not bad actually. |

I found myself siding with him on #3, and thinking that she was being an unreasonable bitch at times. But hey, that's me in early 2021!! |
