The Insider 1999
Perfectly exemplifies Chomsky's Propaganda Model, especially the ownership and flak filters, which preclude the American news from effectively criticizing corporate wrongdoing. Also a convincing argument for antinatalism, as kids are often a primary reason why we can't revolutionize, protest, or even criticize our broken system without fear of losing our kid's medical benefits or good education. It's no wonder that technocrats are aligning themselves with a Christian fundamentalist right that sees declining birth-rates as some kind of chief issue. Assholes are just worried about losing their leverage over their workers.

Through the Olive Trees 1994
That moment when your film history class makes you watch the third film in a self-reflexive movie trilogy that’s about the making of the second movie in the trilogy that was about the making of the first movie of the trilogy, and you haven’t seen the previous two, so you’re just sitting there thinking, “wow this is a 40 minute scene about the shooting of one scene from the second movie.” Huh.

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse 2023
Undeniably breathtaking… visually.
But damn, this story had my ass yawning. And the ending gave me blue-balls.
