  The Substance 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 30 Jan 2025

  Now THIS is bloody body horror!

  It’s on the nose, but what makes it good is how it is not afraid to keep pushing until it’s completely in your face.

  The girlies who get it, get it. 

  this film makes me uncomfortable in the best way ( though I don’t know if that feeling just comes from the AMC seat that won’t recline)

  The Brutalist 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 19 Jan 2025

  I’m still processing this so the ratings may change. 

  it’s brutal. 

  jotting down some thoughts below

  - still thinking about that line Joe Alvin said (“we tolerate you” )

  - american dream / anti- American dream 
  - sense of belonging
  - the art and the artist
  - love / loss

  add ons: heard this movie uses AI to generate the design. hmmm… a movie about skills and passion and artistic integrity utilizing AI? questionable
