Smile 2 2024
It’s the same movie as the first, sure, but it deepens the grooves formally and pushes its extremity to new heights. You rarely see studio filmmaking this cruel (or indie, really). And at this point I can’t think of a scarier set of movies from the 2020s than these. They linger. When the dust settles, the nitpicks people have now will quickly be overshadowed by its status a new classic horror franchise.

RRR 2022
Upon completing East of Eden, John Steinbeck called it “the first book.”
In a similar sense, I feel that I have seen The First Movie.
It makes American blockbusters seem not just lazy, but disinterested in their own movieness. It was so heartwarming to see a movie that seemed genuinely infatuated with being a movie— with realizing all the possibilities that could achieve.
Why waste a single god damn second on this Earth.
