  I like that they went to space. I disliked how long they took to go to space!

  Bad Faith 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 13 Mar 2025

  Wow, that was a depressing watch in 2025. 

  It definitely lacks a lot of nuance but it makes a compelling argument. It is the kind of thing I would love to discuss with other political science type people in context with other readings and viewings!

  Aladdin 1992

  ★★★½ Watched 11 Mar 2025

  I need to know more of the genie lore!!

  I have complicated feelings about this movie. On one hand, the animation is incredible, and the voice acting is amazing. Robin Williams is unbelievably good. The storytelling is done nearly perfectly. However, the orientalism in this movie is glaring. I can clearly see the stereotypes that are weaponized against Middle Eastern and South Asian people again and again. It is a classic, well executed animated film that carries all the baggage of hundreds of years of stereotypes and misconceptions.
