    Tony

    ★★½

    I relate to Tony, if only for the fact that throughout the movie he asks people to watch movies with him and they say no.

    ———————

    Every time I watch a movie, I intend on liking it. There’s something that I look forward to or some reason why I am interested in seeing it. For this reason my letterboxd is largely skewed positively, and for the most part I enjoy what I spend time watching. At my core i’m a lil Christian boy who loves seeing it interpreted in media, and many favorites deal explicitly with religion including…
