  Eraserhead 1977

  ½ Watched 07 Jan 2025 1

  In 2016 at the Libertarian National Convention, Gary Johnson was booed when he suggested that perhaps driver’s licenses might be a good thing “I’d like to see some competency exhibited by people before they drive.” Booed. 

  
  Ironically, the whole debate feels Lynchian when another candidate says “What’s next, requiring a license to make toast in your own damn toaster?”

  This is how I feel watching Eraserhead aggressively refuse any semblance of a plot. I’ll be booed for this take.

  White Dog 1982

  ★★★ Watched 23 Mar 2025

  Really great ending. For me this was a window into the world of how much cope some dog owners have. If you actually treated humans with the same level of empathy you did with a dog then the world probably would be a better place.

  Lincoln 2012

  ★★★ Watched 08 Mar 2025 3

  An impressive transformation by DDL, but the dialogue and staging made this feel like a soap opera at times. There’s no real suspense to the movie, because we all know how it’ll end. Great B list cast.
