  The First Omen 2024

  ★ Watched 22 Apr 2024

  Sawyer was genuinely shaken up. Religious trauma from being reared in Mormon country, I think. The Uber driver was off an perc and uncouth. The Zareen’s was horrid. We sat on a table outside and talked about money. I hated it. I felt so ugly, I wanted to tear my face off the entire time. There was an arm rest between us. I acted like it didn’t give me a backache. The movie was predictable. They kept the action going…

  In Fabric 2018

  ★★★★ Watched 17 Sep 2024

  Bizarre and beautiful.
  I had watched it half a decade ago, the line “The hesitation in your voice, soon to be an echo in the spheres of retail” I couldn’t forget.
  Strange cinema.
  Stretches the elasticity of belief.
  There’s something so Suspiria about this movie. I think that’s just the 70s Italian horror aesthetic.
  I think about In Fabric pretty frequently.
  What does it cost to make a memorable image?

  Wendell & Wild 2022

  ½ Watched 10 Nov 2022

  Disgusting and embarrassing. This is the undoing of a legacy: the fact this was linked to 2009's Coraline will forever be a revolting stain on poor Coraline's yellow rain jacket.

  The fact Key and Peele were behind this as well is a massive disservice to the black community and has set us back decades. Can you imagine this is the same Peele from Us, Get Out, and Nope? Can you imagine this is the same Selick from Coraline, The Nightmare before Christmas, and Coraline?

  I would be massively ashamed to have had any part in this. May God forgive all involved. One of 2022’s worsts.

  Babylon 2022

  ★★★★★ Watched 27 Dec 2022

  Brad Pitt was walking real slow and sultry towards the bathtub. I anticipated an off-camera strip scene and toss his clothes dramatically across the screen. Steve is gay and anticipated Mr. Pitt whipping it out and masturbating on-camera. I'm not sure what the other two people in the cinema room were anticipating, but I know we all collectively gagged when he shot himself in the head.
