  Speak. 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 30 Jan 2025

  Speech is such a special and I think misunderstood community, especially since the way it names and structures itself almost seems intentionally designed to be as difficult to explain as possible (For instance, a regular reaction to telling people I did Speech & Debate is either an assumption that I did two separate things called Speech and Debate or they think it’s just debate. But then if I say I did “Speech” they just have no clue what I’m talking about.…

  Venom: The Last Dance 2024

  ★★½ Watched 26 Oct 2024 1

  Let There Be Carnage did a great job of taking the element that worked best from the first film and making it the main focus, so I’m confused why this one seemed to largely forget all that. That said, Tom Hardy still better get that Oscar

  ★★★ Watched 30 Sep 2019 1

  Zack Snyder's Justice League 2021

  ★★★ Watched 19 Mar 2021

  The last 10 minutes of this are terrible. A lot of stuff before that is surprisingly silly and fun. Almost every line of dialogue is very bad. This has more heart than any of the other Snyder movies I’ve seen (which admittedly isn’t saying much). Superman has the funniest line I’ve heard since Tenet’s “Including my son.” I would gladly spend more time with these characters. I hope I never see Jared Leto’s Joker again. My favorite Zack Snyder movie.
