Scanners 1981
too cool of a movie for a lead performance that boring.
i also do wish there was more body horror, tho i’d understand if repeating the exploding head thing would’ve felt numbing after awhile. but the score is an all timer and i do think the concept itself is just plain fun. still don’t think i understand anything cronenberg has ever done or said in a movie, for now i’m just kinda nodding along and not looking away. when the guy with the glasses and mustache showed up i went “oh it’s THAT movie!!!” -
Everything Everywhere All at Once 2022
It’s hard to account for recency bias in saying something this definite, and surely someone will want to start a useless argument or hold resentment against the movie because they disagree, but I think this is one of my favorite movies I have ever seen. It’s been a while since I felt that way with something new. But my expectations were high going in and I still thought so 30 minutes in. Then an hour in. Then 2 hours in.…

The Master 2012
“If you figure a way to live without serving a master, any master, then let the rest of us know, will you? For you’d be the first person in the history of the world.”

Gremlins 2: The New Batch 1990
So incredibly unhinged with coked out writers room energy! I loved all the gremlins and could rewatch this right now!

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse 2018
Just an absolute achievement in animation. Weird to look at something so current and know it’ll exist in the annals of history for its medium, but it’d be a struggle to find someone who would disagree. Going to watch it every year. Going to buy the art book and flip through it like a child.
