  The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers 2002

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 25 Mar 2025

  A few major takeaways 

  1. J.R.R Tolkien: the first true feminist 
  2. The lengths people will go for a man with luscious long hair that can sword fight (same)
  3. Dr. Strange hit a new low in the multiverse
  4. Mary and Pip are Fred and George but shorter and stoned 

  Also. Not that it matters (it does) but Legolas is the hottest person I’ve ever seen in my life.

  Thank you to my childhood friends for introducing me to blonde-haired Orlando Bloom and this true and incredible masterpiece.

  The Substance 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 23 Jan 2025

  I am audibly and visually appalled, in all the best possible ways? There is so much to dissect, from the over-sexualization and beauty expectations of women, to the bodily horror that I had to turn away and cover my ears from multiple times. 

  I am not a fan of gore in the slightest but it magnified the theme and overall concept, and really allowed for a different perspective regarding how far women are willing to go to feel beautiful within…

  Spirited Away 2001

  ★★★½ Rewatched 11 Mar 2025

  “the only time I’m receiving a bouquet and it’s when I’m leaving” real. 

  The animation is beautiful but for me the overall storyline just falls really short. There was too much happening and not enough answered. I also just can’t stand chirio (don’t come for me) because she reminds me too much of myself: scared, annoying, and crying half the film. The redeeming quality for me was the flying dragon short king with the lord farquad bob.
