    Modern Times

    This was hilarious and so much fun to watch—until I realized not much has changed since the 1930s and modern times.

    Cops still suck. The state doesn’t have the people’s interests in mind. There are few meaningful job prospects. The plentiful job opportunities come with high attrition rates, are mind numbing and stressful, pay low wages and will wreak your nervous system to a state of disrepair.

Its secret ingredient? It took Almodovarian melodrama and adapted it to a US-ian audience.

    I can’t decide yet whether I liked this film…

    Blonde

    Andrew Dominik really took the beautiful and talented Ana de Armas and abused her like a Barbie doll the way an emotionally disturbed 5 year old would: tearing off her clothes, smashing her against the wall, repeatedly mashing her face and bum into random Kens's faces and crotches, and scribbling all over her in red sharpie marker before popping her head off.
