    Ne Zha 2

    Sooo I watched it in 3d and it was… actually pretty dope 😂 
    - the visuals were honestly stunning, battle scenes entertaining, Chinese avengers endgame >>> our marvel slop 
    - needed more ao guang time for gooning purposes 😍
    - I did not like yassified ne zha at all. Disturbing.. Why did they do that? I actually ijboled at the reveal

    Anora

    ★★★½

    The sheer intensity of (and amount of dialogue/time dedicated to showing) how much anora for some reason believed she could do something about the situation was starting to really frustrate me. Sure.. she was clearly desperate to hang onto the life she thought she was going to get… but I really don’t buy that she actually loved him or thought vanya would do anything, or thought that she even had a chance to get what she wanted, especially after the conflict at the house. 

    The last scene made me really emotional though. We’ve all been there right?????????? …….

    Asako I & II

    ★★★★★

    The waters are filthy. It's still beautiful.

    Reeling from this one... idealization of the past, romanticization of a lover, your past selves seeming irreconcilable with each other. Making mistakes, feeling betrayed, finding beauty in the mundane. Love is simultaneously something impossible to grasp within our hands and something that is always within reach. I will be thinking of this movie for a long time, thank you and also WHYYYYYY Hamaguchi!!

    Sidenote obsessed with Masahiro Higashide ...

    ★★★★½

    Lowkey had a thought in the back of my mind… I resent that the focus is mainly on the boys and their internal angst but what’s materially happening to the girls is way worse.. like was all of that necessary…. maybe it’s just cuz I’m a female 🤣
