  My first Buster Keaton film and I am both shocked and pleased to see that he does his own (very dangerous) stunts!!

  Pom Poko 1994

  ★★★ Watched 03 Mar 2025

  concerned and overwhelmed by the hyper-fixation on raccoon testicles in this film, but this led me down a cultural rabbit (raccoon?) hole that explains a lot about tanuki symbolism. Now I can’t stop thinking about Mario…

  or Tom Nook…

  A Grand Day Out 1989

  ★★★★ Rewatched 13 Oct 2024 2

  ★★★★ Rewatched 17 Jan 2025

  “Sauron is so middle management.” 
  “What’s her name? I think it’s Gladys.” 
  “Is that why he’s called Boromir? Because he wants to borrow the ring?”
