  Nope 2022

  ★★★★½ Watched by Chris Simons 22 Jul 2022

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  The first time I saw Get Out in theaters, the first thing my younger brother said when leaving the theater was "That was lit as fuck." I saw this movie with him, and guess what: Jordan Peele delivers again.

  Consistent with his first two features, here he captures iconic moments, he gets the right performers to give great performances, and he brings complexity to a genre space that is worth dissecting and thinking about. I'm excited to let this one…

  Batman: The Long Halloween, Part Two 2021

  ★★★★ Watched by Chris Simons 22 May 2022

  Okay so this one does some haunting tricks with various villains that was really cool, kinda something I wish would come to the big screen in live action (even the Scarecrow stuff is cool and different than Batman Begins). And I think this one justifies the “Halloween” title that I don’t think the first one did.

What I want to talk about is the frequent use of Marvin Gaye's songs from his album What's Going On.

  In celebration of Pride Month, I just want to post about the Wachowskis, as I feel their story is important. I don't know any other trans directors, but I'd like to know more. After revisiting this, it is clear to me that we need more diverse directors (race, sexuality, gender, etc.... not that it wasn't clear before). Yes, we have started to see more women and more minorities in the last 4 years. But we need more…
