  The Thing 1982

  ★★★★½ Rewatched 12 Mar 2025

  First re-watch since originally seeing this in high school

  Perfect movie! Man... I wish every movie was this well plotted out and fun. This movie looks GOOD for being over 40 years old. Dayum. They don't make 'em like they used to

  Vertigo 1958

  ★★★½ Watched 09 Feb 2025

  Definitely entertaining, but there were so many moments where I found it impossible to suspend my disbelief.

  In the 2nd act I was expecting some interesting commentary to happen around the scary AF age gap relationship scenes, but nope! Forgot we're still in the 1950s.

  Absolutely insane ending that just feels like a mistake or a joke.

  I'm actually curious why this is rated so highly other than the hitchcock of it all.

  How the fuck did they get Sondheim to be in this?

  Oppenheimer 2023

  ★★ Watched 21 Jul 2023

  This film has started an unstoppable chain-rection whereby I am forced to retroactively re-examine whether any Christopher Nolan movie is as smart as it is pretending to be.

  45% exposition
  90% dialogue
  3 simultaneous timelines (two of which are hearings)
  and it's all paced like a 3 hour long Gilmore Girls episode

  This feels like if Michael Bay tried to make A Few Good Men.

  I THINK Cillian Murphy did a good job in this, but every line of dialogue…
