  Real Genius 1985

  ★★★★½ Added

  As an only child growing up in the 80's, Chris Knight and Ferris Bueller were my idols. You might think I've since grown up and realized they're merely fantasy caricatures of juvenile ideals and present no real way to approach life. You'd be wrong.

  12 Angry Men 1997

  Only three of these men are truly angry, the other nine seem pretty chill.

  ★★★★½ Watched 06 Nov 2022 5

  Besides the works of David Lynch, I'd hold this up as a prime example of "how to do surrealism right." It's a tricky thing to do, and in my opinion, has a 90%+ failure rate when attempted. But when done well, those few become masterpieces. And now I count this multi-faceted, meta-upon-meta, art-imitates-life-imitates-art, sexy-bondage, black-magic-spinning, cinephile-pandering, velvet-suit-wearing, Paris-loving extravaganza among them.

  There is so much to unpack in this series, I think you'd need to write an essay or companion…

  Scream VI 2023

  ★★★ Watched 15 Mar 2023

  When you have the drop on a slasher killer, it’s considered good manners quip “hey fuckface” before shooting at them. Doing otherwise could put the killer at a real disadvantage and is a breach of good victim etiquette.
