  Saturday Night 2024

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 25 Mar 2025

  Yk I was afraid I was gonna like this less watching this a second time. The first time I watched this I was in a theater on a Saturday night, with a bunch of great friends, having just watched Megalopolis. The 50th anniversary special hadn’t come out yet and I had all the hype in the world for it.

  Why was the line “I like the name Sam, it’s to the point.”

  Shia, your line was “no I don’t want to have sex with you, you’re my aunt.”

  The Brutalist 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 25 Jan 2025

  “Which do you think was the best movie of 2024 about a visionary architect” - Luke about the brutalist

  This movie had a gorgeous score, brilliant cinematography, and insanely good acting - for that I admire it. The pacing in the first half was also very solid. 

  My biggest critiques all end up boiling down to: when the movie takes itself too seriously it loses focus, comes off a bit pretentious, and the film suffers. Think the title cards for example or *that scene*

  However when I see earnestness in this film,  it works.
