    - Gonna try and watch more films again in 2025

    actually much cheaper and more blatantly misogynistic than I was expecting. 

    I watched this in IMAX and I almost couldn’t see it was so loud.

    I also feel like the cinematography needed to just calm down a bit. Please just let things breathe a little.

    I like Hoult, and the bloke with deep voice from the VVitch. Lily Rose Depp was pretty good I thought, all things considered.

    Aaron Taylor…

    There’s a level of unsubtlety here that goes much deeper than fat old people sloshing around in their own poo and vomit.

    I tried to hold my breath in the underwater scenes and now I’m typing my first review from beyond the World Tree.

    —————————————————————————

    James Cameron snaps back at the Japanese government for hunting whales.

    At the same time, turning South Pacific Islanders into blue cat-monkey aliens with flippers that have psychic and spiritual connection to Mother Earth seems racist.

    So is calling the guy with dreadlocks ‘monkey-boy’.

    What offended me most was the preposterous whale sign-language communication. 

    Or maybe it…
