it's a cool movie, but I didn't like it as much as the above poster. It reminded me a lot of (the editing style of) Natural Born Killers, it's got so many fragments shortly after another that doesn't seem really related to each other at all. Which does makes it an interesting watch, but also chaotic.

When a poster says "Pure cinema" it means they could not afford a good editor

i'm watching the entire hal hartley retrospective on criterion. so good. even the not so good ones are good and better than most. "you people" (lol) might know him for this scene:
https://youtu.be/Vgb8CyrgppI that's a very funny movie, the musical number is meant to be comedic. anyway, the girl from monday is probably his weakest feature, but i still liked the attempt. hartley is having a kickstarter currently for his next movie. if you kick in $10k you can be exec producer. also rewatching old almodóvar films on mubi. i might just rewatch the entire lot, because there are some i've missed. and i finally found kika in it! which was banned in america or something. the rape scene is not as funny as i remembered it, because rape is never funny (in theory), and after all we know now it comes across as super cringe, but it still ends up a being little funny, because it ends in totally absurd slapstick. i mean, who else would dare try to make rape funny? only john waters, i think. so the real rapists of the movie are not the sex rapists (well, they are too), but the relentless fucking tv tabloids willing to rape anything and anyone for ratings. but anyway, i like kika as a character. she keeps going despite all disappointments, setbacks and betrayals. she's naive but good. and people are such fucking assholes, lol. |

good movie. whatever they did with Johnny's face drew me off a bit, but it's not too distracting to the story. not sure if they did something, perhaps it's just his natural face that draws me off also: Amazon Prime has it listed as The Crime Boss though, which is apparently the Australian title. It's ok, want's to be a tarantino-fargo like movie but doesn't reach that level.

Rewatching Us for the first time since 2019.
I still really like it. I’ll finish it tonight and then I’ll know whether it’s still my favorite Peele movie. I think it’s definitely the scariest. It’s genuinely quite fucking terrifying. |

Jordan Peele gave the cast 11 horror films to watch so they would have "a shared language" when filming: Jaws (1975), Dead Again (1991), The Shining (1980), The Babadook (2014), It Follows (2014), A Tale of Two Sisters (2003), The Birds (1963), Funny Games (1997), Martyrs (2008), Let the Right One In (2008), and The Sixth Sense (1999). |

I did not know this but that totally tracks. Also Let The Right One In is one of the best movies of all time, horror or otherwise. |

On Thursday I watch Rocky Horror Picture show for the first time! It was with a shadow cast, since the allies group at my college does it every year. There was a costume contest too, and it was a lot of fun!
