this issssss some high art tv show, and it's veeerrry surreal, and veeerrryyyy dialogue heavy and a veerryyy stunning piece of cinematography, set design and fashunn baybee FASHION! alexa play fashion by lady gaga . there's a superb balance of satire and sincerety in this show that makes it positively addictive. or maybe that's just jude law. i would say this show is pervaded by a theme of reflection, punctuated by some stupefyingly beautiful scenes that let you contemplate on some pretty intesne dialogue; but i am dumb so i would REALLY love a print-out of the script please and thank you!! and the colour grading. my god, the colour grading. 690 nuns playing basketball!!!
wow, and isn't this just a masterclass on excellent characterisation. marty exists so that everyone around him shines, for better or worse. seriously, one of the best things about this movie is that you understand who koto is, and what he represents - without him having very much audible dialogue!..or maybe i'm projecting. but it's not lost on me that a movie about ping pong occurs within 10 years of ww2. it's not all great; i think some of the movie was a bit slow, and warning for like one scene of bone gore and animal pain. i think this is going to be the last GOOD movie to come out about a narcissistic protagonist who ruins everyone else's lives for greed and glory - all movies like this for the next 5-10 years will be a farce. [much like what happened with parasite (2019) (triangle of sadness was the last good class-consciousness movie)(imo)]. 262 costume jewellery
holy. FUCK.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love guitar...i love the BLUES. SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so much...WOWW!!!! thank you. one of the best soundtracks. i think i need to make a page for my fave movie soundtracks. to say this movie is just about cultural appropriation is slightly inaccurate just because of everything the main villain is. truly one of the best, fleshed-out villains in cinema imo..!!! and i LOVE that they don't shy away from k*lling all the KKK members, no shame in that. if u like rock (dad rock especially. rock n roll), i think it's important to watch this movie. yea, it's not a doco but it's important to see what blues means for the people who made it. also fuck led zeppelin!!! 882 late 80s/early 90s chunky hoop earrings, lol
a movie so forgettable i actually forgot to write a review for it lol. i appreciate that it wasn't afraid to critique capitalism and band-aid fixing the problems of over-consumption and materialism - but it sacrificed an interesting and nuanced character in ngoc lan. 462 the world is so beautiful, it's really a shame.
bad movie. lazy movie. racist movie (the character with ~latin blood from havana, cuba is so ~free and has lots of sex!! wow!!!). everytime they spoke i feel like i had missed half a conversation, it was so incoherent. 671 awesome awesome commentators who announced the dance and made some comment that was truly the best character. the jive! shake your body to the jive!
now this is some beautiful horror. SPOILER SPOILER: my headcannon is that the last scene is meant to be a homage to lydia's little dance in beetlejuice <3 574 apples
i am unimpressed. i feel like this is part of the saltburnification of cinema, all aesthetics and cinematography, but only with surface level things to say. meanwhile the audience is spoonfed metaphors with rotten teeth and bonsai plants. it wears the cinematography of so many other movies like a costume. i don't think the characterisation was great, and the pacing was limping. 232 whatever toy guns
thinkin of all the silly funny things i could say about this notorious movie .... just an awesome lustful fun time and alluring cinematography of a sport i do not care about. 570 best friends
a fun, entertaining and serviceable horror movie. the [spoilers] is a diva, unfortunately. the ending scene was so good too lmao. 114 useless police officers
if "so anyway i started blasting" was a movie. 549 lighters
do we really need a raunchy 'the hangover' type movie in the 2020s feat asian women as the main cast? yes. yes yes we do. problematic, messy, slutty, third culture asian women rep. thank you so so much. 720 pussy tats
a tim robinson skit with the budget of an a24 movie..very fun if you like cringe comedy . 261 broken glass doors
i dont know a mystery film that is so interested and compassionate about its characters like the knives out movies man. heavy handed in its critique of religious brainwashing and grifters, with a complicated character serving as a beacon of hope, i came out of this knowing that we are all human, falliable, deserving of forgivness and can put in the work to be better. 183 times i lied about masturbating
this movie was soooo good and tender and powerful and complex and TENDER girl!! tender!!!! and a true feat of cinema. like this is CINEMA cinema . wowzers . 979 electrophoresis gels that dont make sense. benicio del toro PLEASEEEE PLEEEEASE call me
being in love is like being in jail sometimes - especially so when the person you're in love with is in a jail of their own making. beautifully shot, an important story to be told, and i can't ever get away from unfulfilled and tragic queer romances. 823 bibles with holes poked into them
no chemistry romance, worst jack black acting ive ever seen. truly only saved by shots of jude law, capital k Kissing. and cameron diaz kinda ate too. 11...walkers ???
this movie was sooooooo whatever. tropes on tropes on tropes. WHATEVERRRRRRRRRR. lame. 794 bullets
oh okay. oh okayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. okayyyy. right right right. oh its a movie movie. 262 AIs begging for their lives
this was a rewatch n im so thoroughly captivated everytime i watch this movie. give me a main character with dead eyes any day. upon rewatch i realise they really had a whole ass "disrespecting women" chapter, which i want to optimistically believe was a critique of the ever-present misogyny in this family. nevertheless , i want [redacted] sonny and michael. 901 trashcan lids used to beat up abusive husbands
guillermo del toro is like if tim burton were good. i thought it was great and entertaining and erm..yeah..!! yeah!!!!!!!! yea...! the set design and costumes and colours!!!!!!!!! go the fuck off !!!! altho, yea i think he shud have used more practical effects and less CGI, or invest in some better CGI lol. i never read the book, so i think everyone hating on this for not being like the book is valid but annoying (me with dune). as a movie, i think it's thumbs up. u can maybe make another character driven frankenstein allegory type movie if thats what ure into...i think this movie was good for what it was . actually. i think gullermo del toro should be the only person allowed to access and make movies out of classic horror IP ! waiter, waiter, dorian gray or jekyll and hyde next please !! 383 broken bones
it was ok, kinda boring at some point. i think it lacked all kinds of susbtance idk im being a hater. actually no, cuz sarah jessica parker was such a try hard but i loved every second of her .i also liked the little sister she was actually not annoying . 606 talking cats
unfortunately, i think this is one of the best movies i have ever seen, and it's from my favourite book of all time. well executed wow yum yum yum i eat that - every shot, every noise, every movement, every outfit, meticulously crafted. 883 chocolate mousses with undertaste
i wish the first half and second half were two different movies. when it was a psych horror spooky house in the woods .. oh mama i couldnt take it. but also the creature is one of the best monster designs i've ever ever seen, so well made. just wish tehy were different movies!!! i recommend to watch either way . 546 mummies
truly the best. truly the BEST!!! simply the best. 805 missing keys!!!
this movie was SO GOOD?!!! the dialogue and hte plot and the goofiness of it all !!???!??!?!? 689 VHS tapes
wes anderson with a normal colour palette. 198 smoke machines
everyone so pathetic ppl back in the day were really dumb...why do monarchies even exist in this world anymore when the history was like THIS . i dont care it's not 100% historically accurate. 618 pieces of rejected jewellery
it feels like a good first attempt at something, and reminds me of a better than average gillian flynn book. transmasc bottom sex scene = so so important to the culture. 206 broken ankles
this is a really fun anime - bright, flashy, punchy. also funny, sweet, captures all the emotions of being nervous around ur crush and not knowing how to act around them. i just wish the characters were older for the situations these kids are put through lol, because. i mean whatever, it's anime, but it's weird. a high recommend. 127 sexy grandmas
i thought this was the film that was taken in one long shot . this was actually the film with high pitched sound in the background for 1h40 mins to give a sense of tension and dread . 561 stretchers
kinoooooooooooo . 775 walking contradictions
ohhhh wow. it's like, take the best elements of a wholesome christmas movie, those movies about a cranky teacher with a troubled kid, wholesome movies about moving on from loss, you know those types? dead poets society, what's eating gilbert grape type movies, you know those 70s/80s feel type of movies, and then just like, make it perfect. despite the cinematographical and videographical decisions to make this movie look like it was shot in the 70s, holding a well-used and recycled plot, the dialogue, themes and characters were completely refreshing. i will be watching this when the snow falls and i will be crying everytime. this movie is truly something, and one of a kind. 157 firecrackers lit indoors in the kitchen
pretty fun, nicely done lore drops, a lot of show not tell, which i love these movies for. why can't ridley scott do alien tension like this for his latest alien IPs. 36 pizzas
fortunately or unfortunately, for better or for worse, this movie is exactly what you'd expect it to be with a title with the words "kpop" + "demon hunters". 177 bottles of fake medicine from a quack doctor
this and a small but tasty breakfast when ure hungover on a sunday morning. 779 hero statues
this shit was so funny and campy!!!!! hihgly recommended. 982 boxes of bugs
it was fine. it was good! wasn't great. it was okay. 385 of those pastry things
stephen chow just came in and dropped like the stupidest and best movies of the early 2000s then dipped. 257 lollipops
'jack twist...jack nasty' = one of the best pieces of acting i've ever seen. 235 cans of beans
it was okay, i think i was a bit bored honestly. put another one in the bank for a character that is a Mother tm and her personality is all about her child . 965 radiation proof plastic items s
there has to be some way to balance the whimsy and thrill of 60s comics translated into action movies with removing the misogyny characteristic of those comics. we are so close!! come on james gunn, you can do it ! 72 sun as hope metaphors
is it already autumn cuz we are getting real corny in here. asians trying to do white people things, but cool to see americanised asian parents who care about the freedom and experiential development of their children and such. lol. another perspective on the asian-american experience. better than other romcoms honestly, i thought the take on like "having a partner that doesn't shit on successful ma-wife" narrative was kinda awsum n refreshing ... pretty decent romcom .64 asian-fusion dishes
i cried 7 times. 100 herring and pumpkin pot pies
ive watched this show like 3 times and every time i feel some type of way about it. this time, i found the character writing to be particularly egregious. there are far too many characters, and the writers chose to expand on every character that was related to the last airbender cast, giving very little space for this show's team avatar. so i loved all of aang's relations, especially tenzin who imo they cud have paralleled his development with korra but hte writers are far too short-sighted for that. but then idk WTH happened season 3 and 4, no one was doing anything, and tenzin was like barely there. why ???? and they gave korra a beautiful mental health and redemption arc thing for the final season but it was completely marred by everyone's incompetence! don't get me started on the politics. let's just say...these writers don't know anything about anything. people still hate on korra as a character too much, and it's important to have flawed characters, and i appreciate so much that korra is who she is . and also, i mean lbr, the art and animation is beautiful. and the music and soundscape is truly breath-taking, i really need to know what the artists behind this were thinking; there's so many little intricacies that really make me perk up. it's a true shame they let this art go to waste and fumbled the story/characters hard . 28 scenes of henry rollins bad voice acting
big ups on media literacy, the blue curtain really does mean sadness. DC's lantern corps could never harness the power of the emotional spectrum like this movie. prepare for heartache. 62 tiffin boxes of noodles
i kinda hate this animation style, but overlooked for surprisingly cool and creative fight sequences. also overall had a pretty good message to tell. i m also a big fan of the movie just like blatantly stealing music or scenes from different IPs and not even bothering to switch things up a little bit lol but also warning because this movie doesn't shy away from body fluids lol??? not like blood or whatever but an abnormal amount of body fluids and farts as jokes . 597 paintbrushes
so tender and beautiful. this peep show type camera work really did make me cry (positive). 87 lingering looks
its my second wes anderson movie and i was like 'isn't he kinda orientalist?' and i googled it and there were like 3 articles saying the same thing and then this guy got very mad abt it when i brought it up in d group chat. it's true though ?????? i want to fuck benicio del toro. 75 set pieces that are the only form of substance to a wes anderson movie
i watch a Video Essay tm about midwest emo while eating breakfast and next thing i know im watching a movie about a boom and bust town in northern china. there's a thread here about the vibe that comes after a town has outlived it's use for the economic flourishing of its nation (many such countries). the movie is heavy handed in it's metaphors, and i think it pulls it off very well. i think this movie is fun. i think it's interesting. very cute and sweet and despondent. does the dog die dot com? yes. so spoiler alert for tears . 354 CGI animals
*frank reynolds i get it gif* super fun, very like zoomer brained cinematography ? 68 cans of mushroom soup
quite strange but nonetheless funny movie.........very interesting. yes, kind of a product of its time but also pertinent or? idk!!! we have snippets of ingrid's like, why she is the way she is...idk felt still like it was lacking of something but maybe its ok to be intentionally vague. maybe thats the point, u still only know a surface level of everyone, even ingrid. hmmm....78 candles
this was so good and ate the fuck down. just a silly, silly, goofy fun time. don't watch if you HATE fun or are a recovering alcoholic (these don't have to be mutual events). 607 ethanol
these movies r truly a product of their time....satisfying to watch and so dumb and funny and i hope we never make anything like them again . 9 problematic remarks
surprisingly decent for the third phase or whatever of marvel movies. nice n interesting issue to tackle but dam...i wish they wud just make like an a24 movie n make it good instead of shoe-horning these storylines into the IP. someone re-make wandavision too that wud eat down . 46...shadows?
i rewatched this and i have to say this is truly one of the best pieces of visual art u will ever see ever in a long time. amazing, rich, full of colour life, editting, videography, cinematography, audio mixing, acting, script, dialogue. perfection. not least because i personally feel no other show truly encompasses the trauma or dynamics of first n second gen immigrants w families, the western world, within their own community, even the american dream question mark ,n on top of that tackling the gaping hole of depression n existentialism. 99999999999 chairs
ok this shit was sooo long n obviously dragged out by the kdrama trope of not communicating anything !!!. when it was silly and fun it was perfect tho. idk its like the plots too complicated for u to leave it on in the bg, so u have to actually pay attention but then it's also so slow n boring and covoluted that u dont really want that. worst of two worlds. the love story was mad cute tho. 58 bottles of soju
oh my my my . okay . ermm..yea . i get d hype. can we talk about the last ep of s2 though? absolute cinema. throwback!! to 90s sci-fi and such. put it on mubi. ughhhhhhh just watch the whole show for last ep of season 2. 67 erasers
the word charming came to mind watching this movie. it's obviously heart-aching, the topic of grief will never be accurate or easy to handle on screen. the acting and pacing left me magnetised. a beautiful film. 56 joints
expectations, expectations....what i was expecting: 3 hour heist movie. what i wasn't expecting....1.5 hour heist movie, 1.5 hour existential movies about yearning for freedom. if i had known! maybe i wouldn't have been annoyed and fell asleep. manage your expectations with this one! it's for the art-heads fr. 12 eggs
ughhhh i love you steven yeunnnnnnnnn . 85 horses
suffering from a case of chronic not-enough-episodes-rushed-ending-itis, this was so fun and epic. everyone on imdb who compares it to the yawnfest og texts (i haven't read them) is a hater. u gotta appreciate it for what this show is: delving into the lives of a bunch of pompous, bougie aristocrats during the plague! filomena got let off way too easily, the silent ending to pampinea was satisfying and stratilia is cunt (positive). straight up. actually, everyone was interesting. panfilo4lyfe. i love character-driven shows. 102 ancient wooden dildos
don't expect anything like parasite or snow piercer. its a fun, family friendly movie, if not perhaps extremely on the nose with all current events. i felt like themewise, it could've had more direction, and i found toni colette's character, while striking everytime on screen, still a bit lacking. 79 bottles of juice
i am questioning the author's intentions . 23 piece orchestra
ouch ouch owww ouchhhh very painful watch. the longing you feel sometimes to be seen, to be heard, to be yourself, so deep and intangible it hurts. 47 chess pieces
literally pissing and crying and shitting and farting and sobbing. why the fuck did they make it so scary wth. if u grew up believing in ghosts, this shit is terrifying . but also the people too??? fuck off!! i couldnt sleep for 2 weeks . 100 miniature art pieces
was super entertaining but im left wondering what space a non-jewish director has in making a story such as this, given the heavy topic. i understand that it's not such a serious drama, could even be considered a light family comedy, but having some of the death scenes felt a bit too brief. and i dont know what was the point really of humanising certain people - i just wish some characters were developed a bit deeper. 45 rabbits
interesting documentary about ezra miller . 43 buckets of red paint
nice short movie about classism, young motherhood...womanhood..? didn't get the message, but vibes wise, i was sat anyway. 40 bags of chips
cute movie, stellar performance by everyone, something about a cast of only 3-4 main characters making things super intimate which i liked a lot. couldn't help relating to a lot to bella's exploration of her sexuality. 20 portugese egg tarts.
