Century of Film #77
Well I'm behind on logging again.
I just met this pregnant Minnesotan cop, but if anything happens to her I'll k*ll everyone in the room and then myself.
I didn't know how much I needed Minnesotan accents in my movies.
"it's a beautiful day. I just don't understand it."
Century of Film #76
This is very technically well done. I haven't seen a David Fincher film in which I can't say that.
Look, I've seen a lot of dark and gritty movies as part of this list, and this is the first one where I question if there is anything special to say. To me, it's just nihilism; A useless ideology.
But hey, that's what I've said about other movies before seeing a different facet about them. Maybe that's the case here too.
Neat, impressive, great tone and shots. Not enriching.
The absolute helplessness of wanting to explain to folks that this has some of the best plot writing this decade, and not wanting to get bullied for it, because like...
This premise is certifiably insane. It's unconventional, and at a surface-level it's undeniably weird.
But we ain't here for surface level. Akasaka has proven that he's a brilliant writer in multiple genres at this point. Every twist and turn in this is such *chefs kiss*
I think after season 2 is over I won't be able to stop myself from binging the manga.
These cliffhangers are reducing my lifespan. This cynicism is crusting my soul.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
So you're telling me that this is a story where the strongest guy ever defeats the oppressors of freedom with the power of friendship, disrupts the world order, all while having a bounty that keeps going up?
Fellas. John Wick 4 is peak One Piece.
