    The Picture of Dorian Gray

    ★★

    An example of adapting too close to the book to where the pacing suffers. Pretty damn boring (though I love the book). The characters, especially Lord Henry, Dorian Gray, and Basil Hallward, were so flat. I missed the melodramatic passion that Wilde paints them with.

  • Inherent Vice

    Inherent Vice

    ★★

    I am officially not a pomo fan. This just felt like a nonsensical fever dream and I didn’t even laugh that often. Dialogue was just like the book, and like I’ve done with most Pynchon novels, I quit most of the way through

    Direction was bleh and it just looked terrible, it looked like a capital one commercial, just the worst movie visually. Cynthia and Ari were cute though, I liked them
