For my dumb thoughts about films that I watch but which are not glib enough for Letterboxd

Mamma Mia, here I go again, killing!

★★★★

Ambition, entertainment, porno and horror! X recounts the story of a low-budget pioneering porno shoot gone wrong in rural Texas with some Chainsaw Massacre vibes seeing as how it's set in rural Texas in the 70s. But instead of just being crazy, the hi...

I don't think there was a single character I didn't hate in this except maybe the kid at the end, if he exists.

★★★★

Just in case you wanted to like Hopper, Quentin had him give a racist little speech before Walken blows his fuckin brains out. And I think that's the fundamental trick that Tarant...

You couldn't make a movie that was mad as hell and couldn't take it anymore anymore.

★★★★★

Imagine a world, if you will, where news and entertainment were synonymous and information was provided by corp-ocracy for the sole purpose of generating profit. What's that sonny, you say that's today? We...

Enjoyable, but only runs a half hour shorter than The Fellowship of the Ring with about a quarter of the world-building and plot, so it sits in limbo between action movie and loregastic epic.

★★★★

I really enjoyed this movie despite not being trans (I...

I thought the most unbelievable part was Jason Momoa starring in a blockbuster franchise. Sorry Aquadude...

★★★

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of his character work. He's just one of those dudes that's too pretty for me to really get invested in, like Shy Guy Ry here. I honestly wanted to rat...

I'm not openly weeping in the theater, you're openly weeping in the theater.

★★★★

All I knew going in was that this was going to be brutal based on the synopsis and one review on rotten tomatoes that assured me that it wasn't going to be as emotionally manipulative as I thought and they were r...

Infinitely you jest

I really liked this movie, on the whole: it was intense, well acted, had some real fun cinematography, but on the whole I found the characters profoundly unlikable, which I think was the point, but that kind of made the last scene excruciating, since a) I really had...
