Mobile Suit Gundam F91 1991
Man… man. Look, I like this. But I love Gundam. I’ve watched many Gundam shows and have read all of Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin. I am well-versed in Tomino-ism. But let’s be clear, the story in this is rendered so confusingly. Time isn’t just elided, it is full blown skipped. There is a confrontation between the hero and a group of villains that just ends and the hero is off in a colony on a secret mission. A villain…

Black Bag 2025
A real movie. Characters motivated by their own traits and personalities. Showing, not telling. Pierce Brosnan expertly deployed. Suspense drawn from watching people sit on a bench or cut garlic. 93 minutes that feels like maybe 55 as opposed to two and half hours that feels like four. Extremely horny but without any explicit sex or nudity. Smart dialogue that doesn’t feel like it was written by someone who’s spent too much time on social media. I love this movie and what it stands for: entertainment by watching expert storytelling craftsmanship.

If I can see a 35mm version of this film every 10-15 years, I will have lived a life of incredible beauty.…

The People's Joker 2022
Getting to the core of why I didn’t like this movie despite it being a film that speaks directly to my age and experience would take a book. Perhaps it’s simply that despite sharing many of Vera Drew’s interests and pretty much all of her cultural signifiers, I don’t share her point of view, and I’m not even saying this in regard to gender or the “transfeminine experience.” It’s not that I reject the movie because I’m “not trans like…
