  Slam 1998

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 25 Feb 2025

  I used to love this movie in high school, but I completely forgot about it until now. My understanding for the subject matter has grown and I feel I can appreciate it on a much deeper level now. Saul Williams is fantastic in this and I'm inspired to go back and listen to his musical records and read his poetry again. The ending was perfect. 🥲

  Lured 1947

  ★★★ Watched 17 Jan 2025

  Possibly the oldest movie about a serial killer I've ever seen (from before that term existed). It was fun! I especially liked the first half. The ending wasn't quite what I'd hoped.

  Iron Man 2 2010

  ★ Watched 14 Jun 2024

  I hated this movie so much. Beyond the simping for billionaires and horrendously sexist treatment of every woman character, it's like they completely forgot the vague message they'd come up with in the first movie about being cautious around weapons manufacture and sale. Instead this movie was just a bunch of pornography for weapons and toxic masculinity. And even in the one touching moment when Tony Stark realizes his dad actually loved him, he doesn't even shed a single tear. Gross.
