  Memoir of a Snail 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 04 Feb 2025

  Great story about suffering selves and souls
  Stop motion taps into sth unique about life -- imaginations, the mundane everyday, sadness and faint hopes -- a temporality that smoothness is frictional and glitched
  Thank you for breaking my heart I guess?

  Barbie 2023

  ★★★ Watched 05 Aug 2023

  Very pink, very boring, very Marvel

  Barbies' coup reminds me of Ooku on Netflix and I prefer Ooku's narrative. At least more shocking gruesome and glamorous.

  Fight Club 1999

  ★★★★ Watched 31 May 2022

  A swift and neat psychological thriller. It plays not only with the narrator’s brain, but also the audience’s. The tone is set right at the beginning of the movie: this is insomnia, it’s a waking dream, he is neither asleep nor awake. My take on the ending: Durden and the narrator become one, the spilt souls of Jekyll and Hyde reunite — thus the happy ending and return of the rational.

  
  NB: one star less because the body horror & violent scenes are so powerful I was nauseated 🙃
