The ending scene was so gross I had to turn the movie off like 5 minutes early

The Jazz Singer 1927
Average Israel supporter busting a fat nut to this after the Schwartzes insufficiently condemn Hamas

Priscilla 2023
Great movie good movie best since a Bling Ring if not Antoinette probably I love Sofia’s mostly semiotic oriented filmmaking that doesn’t really draw attention to it but I kept getting distracted by Jacob Elordi’s giant man feet. 6’5… has to be like a size 15. Every time they were in bed it was like Fred and Velma Flintstone.

The New Mutants 2020
Wow. What a metaphor for Israel Palestine. It was kind of fucked when Anya Taylor Joy wouldn’t stop talking about Custer’s Revenge being her favorite Atari game though.

It’s all kinda mall-y but not some completely swagless 13 Reasons Why bullshit. I…

Freeze Me 2000
I think I enjoy when these sorts of movies when they’re more personal than semiotic. It’s funny to say about a movie with this much on the nose visual symbolism but in the case of “rape revenge” I do simply prefer getting in the protagonists head. I’m not always the biggest fan of the “beauty in the fall” and just turning your movie into a variation on plague art but I do think it’s simply important to depict how such…
