    The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

    ★★★★★

    Recently I've been trying to explain to myself my fascination with this film. With Fincher's work. And, to be honest, my fascination with somewhat disturbing media as a whole.

    As Rooney Mara said in the additional materials to the film, people are fascinated by the horrible. They see a car crash, and they don't turn away. They closely observe. Not everyone is willing to admit this fascination. There's something perverted to this concept. But once you do admit it, you…

    There are things in life that you cannot explain or dissect. It’s so important to you, that you just cannot allow yourself to do that. You don’t want to. You just accept the thing as it is without any further questions.

    This film - is one of those things. I can write a long, prolific review, about every single aspect of it. But I won’t. The only thing I want to say is that I hate the fact that others…

    ★★★★

    i think every movie should have at least one monkey as a major plot device/character

    i assure you, we as a society would greatly benefit from it

  • Companion

    Companion

    ★★★

    Has nothing to offer to distinct itself from a vast cluster of films with the same concept (possessiveness and manipulation in sci-fi setting), but fun enough to not annoy you with its predictability.

    I am fully convinced that Sophie Thatcher has a specific condition in all of her contracts that she must be covered in blood at least in one scene. And you know what? Hell yeah, sure, we’re here for it and we crave more.

    John Mulaney: Baby J

    the bit about "what you gonna do, CANCEL John Mulaney?" was serving next-level delusional

    mate, i literally don't give a fuck about your drug problem, and your relationship problems (but you have to admit it cheating is wrong and you are kind of a pig for it)

    but what about Dave Chappelle and giving him a platform?

    and you did this AFTER you got sober

    so like there is no way you can now pin your awful decision-making (or potentially…

    Saltburn

    ★★★★

    I love the genre of films “I want him, I want to be him, I want to kill him”.

    When I first saw the trailer for Saltburn, I thought it would play out similarly to Talented Mr. Ripley with a mix of The Favourite. And it was a good guess. When you watch it, you know what to expect most of the time. It’s not surprising by any means, but I appreciate how it lures the audience into the game…
