  The Brutalist 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 25 Jan 2025

  "We TOLERATE you"

  The opening sequence alone (where it presents to us the entire thesis of the movie right away) is yet another reason reason we go to the movies.

  Also, for no particular reason, I'm super interested to see what my folks think when they watch this.

  Vertigo 1958

  ★★★★★ Watched 24 Jan 2025

  I get it now. Sights and Sounds was right, this movie > Citizen Kane.

  The fact my first time watching this movie was in a 35 mm restoration with a whole crowd made it unforgettable, too.
  Also now I know the context of *that* dream sequence.
