Now onto saying he’d rather watch Louis CK masturbate than try to watch Nanette.

The Swimmer (1968)
This is the fucking stupidest movie ever... Some guy decides he wants to "swim home" by going in various ppl's backyard pools, except he's like some sex pest trying to rape the women. This thing sucks |

“Stranger By The Lake” is a pretty phenomenal film about murder, swimming and gay sex.
Not a big fan of the ass munching but the rest was on point. |

That’s a great film. Jackie Earl Haley should probably have won an Oscar for that.

Blow Out - 8/10
You can definitely see how the Kennedy assassination was living in the minds of people at the time; roughly 10 years later. Travolta is excellent here. DePalmas writing is very strong. it ranks high ion both their bodies of work. Licorice Pizza - 8/10 Certainly PTA's most grounded piece. Cinematography is very strong. Its almost like Anderson is allergic to close ups and i really love that. he has the camera take a voyeurs position being just far enough away to allow the audience feel like a spectator into private conversations. several long drawn out ones. the themeing is very strong and uses this story of youth to explore the bartering nature of sexual selection. not his best work by any stretch but a very good film and the male lead will likely have a very leggy future. |

Los Enchiladas!
This is the movie Mitch Hedberg wrote... spent a lot of time trying to find it before realizing it was just on YouTube. Funny... a couple of his jokes off his cd's are in it but there's a lot more Hedberg-style insight into random stuff... funny... good... kinda like "Waiting" but less happens, but funnier... kinda explores the monotony of working in a restaurant and how you start to perceive the idiosyncracies of different ppl from being around them a lot... chef character was really funny |

^this is my post from july 2007. i watched this movie a bunch that summer because it was on IFC a lot. I remember not really "getting it" but still liking it. I watched this movie again a couple weeks ago and realized it doesnt make a lot of sense, even though I "got it" now, and it kinda fucking sucks. I've sworn off the 10 point rating scale but I'll make an exception here to update this score to a 4 out of 10. Theres a bunch of memorable moments and good songs and carrie ann moss is maybe the hottest woman of all time in this movie, but nothing really holds it together

Moonfall. I dunno, 4/10 maybe? It's not terrible but it ain't good outside of eye candy. Special effects are amazing which is the point here, but theres too much going on and too many people who just don't seem important enough to there. Plot points that just get abandoned or never explained in the first place. Was clearly set up for a sequel but there is literally negative chance that happens with the way this bombed at the box office after the kind of money they spent on it.

It absolutely is terrible, but it’s a great movie to talk over.
I think Roland Emmerich is just showing us his clout now. To be fair he’s not wrong to do it. Joe Eszterhas did it all through the 90’s without once having to touch the product or create anything remotely watchable. He just wrote outlines and sold them for millions. There are cinema geniuses, and then there are Hollywood geniuses. I guarantee Roland Emmerich lets the studio do the actual work. Much like Michael Bay. Build a name then exploit it. |

Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore - 5/10
First 1.5 hours of this just under 2.5 hours long movie is pretty naff and feels like nothing happens..... then it gets alright once the "endgame" is revealed.... was better than the second one I guess where nothing happened the entire movie and was just a "set up sequels/franchise" material...... this one at least had a story that eventually started and ended. "Weird" at the main braud of the franchise being written out to just a cameo... rumours that it is because she "spoke out" against JK Rowling..... |

Maybe she distanced herself from it, not the other way around.

Her - 9/10
There are atleas 5 levels of analysis just after 1 watch so i wont get into the plot. there's too much to comment on and process. What i will praise is Phoenix's performance. the bulk of this film is him in close up and he carries the film effortlessly. He's definitely a generational talent that probably will never get the credit he deserves no matter how much credit he gets. |

Dead Don't Die (2019)
Jim Jarmusch film with Bill Murray and Adam Driver and Chloe Sevigny 8/10 Very fun horror movie. Good cameos. Lots of fan service to people who like horror movies. Doesn't take itself seriously. Can understand why many mouth breathers didn't like it. Recommend |

Les Miserables
I got interested in this because the high school I worked at put it on and it was really good... I mean it's pretty much a masterpiece and the movie does it justice, not really a surprise. Just so much detail in every single moment. The songs are really really good... Didn't know Ali G played the Master of the House guy... funny |

i think its very importantfor a musical to have as little looping as possible. the performance needs to live in the song. if youre gettin a performance om the se and trying to get the audio in the studio to match that youll always lose the soul of it. its really critical.
