i just like movies.

star ratings don’t matter as much as you’d think here, but they’re there all the same. i am a slave to routine.

    Hugh Grant is so goddamn good in this

    Really love the way this is shot too

    Too long and gets a bit too convoluted but I had a good time

    Mickey 17

    ★★★½

    Saw this at the 34th street AMC in NYC and that was a pretty cool theatre 

    Really wanted to like this more, I was very excited for it. 

    Pattinson is great, some of the other performances didn’t do it for me.

    Some really solid laughs throughout.

    Doesn’t explore any of the interesting ideas thoroughly enough, and the socio-political commentary is not particularly biting. 

    Way too long! Ugh

    *Completely miserable viewing experience. Going to the movies fucking sucks now, man. Constant talking, phone lights going off, everyone practicing their comedy routines with their friends. Just constant laughing at everything in the movie. It’s fucking maddening.*

    LRD is excellent in this, i really respect her dedication to making herself look as fucked up as possible. Hoult puts in a hell of a shift too as Hutter, especially the sequence at Orlok’s castle. 

    Love love love Orlok’s look in this.…
