Brutalism arose from the horrors of humanity. It served as a resurrection. Born again into a cruel world, it sought to endure. To continue. To survive. It cut away all frivolous extravagance. Leaving only the raw and real. The American dream is a facade. You can assimilate, disappear into the background. Or you can endure. You can create something great. But there is no reward at the end. They do not respect you. You can put talent and time, risk…

Alien 1979
Crew Expendable
A masterwork, iconic in every sense.
Where to even begin. Before Weyland-Yutani shenanigans , before double Fassbenders, before YY chromosomes, before the crossovers and mid video games (except isolation) there was this: 7 crew members, a cat, and the perfect organism. Sleek, simple, elegant. There is no wasted motion. The perfect bedrock for at least one good movie and many more meh ones.
Everything still hits. The effects still elicit gasps and squirms just as they did decades…Translated from by

Barbie 2023
Key takeaways:
- Gosling is ludicrous, no one should be this good (I love him so much ❤️)
- it's always wonderful to see Rhea Perlman !
- Montage near the end had some real sauce behind it, genuinely wonderful
- Pretty great gags through out, final joke is a banger.
- patriarchy bad, horse good, I should get a fur coatOverall, solid outing. Good time all around. We probably don't need a Mattel cinematic universe though. Misogyny points go down 📉
