An organised unorganised trail of thoughts.
I shant apologise for how long some of my reviews are.
Some of these songs are such bangers it’s awesome.
The production design and costuming in this is fucking incredible. I hope this goes down in history as much as it deserves to.
But god damn why did they cast Jeff Goldblum. I hate him so much in this role. His quirky stuttering and cadence to his voice is like nails on a chalkboard. Fuck.
I was shocked to see that I had watched this already, I didn’t remember a second of it.
And I kind of see why. Not my cuppa tea.
Someone told me recently that there are ‘no more auteurs in film today’, I present The Daniels.
I fucking love how unapologetically weird these guys are without confusing the audience and keeping us engaged as fuuuuuuck with such a fun and emotional movie.
I can’t wait for all the video essays pretentiously explaining the art behind this movie, trying to pretend that it didn’t stem from these two saying ‘I want people to have to shove things up their ass to teleport between universes and I want someone to die via dildos’
The Daniels have also MASTERED the match cut, best match cuts ever.
It will never get old seeing a bunch of my friends in the credits. Super proud of them for this one.
That Esmée St Cyr cameo??! How good.
I wasn’t expecting this to be so scary?! Damn I got the shivers hard in a couple moments, especially with Mary Rose creeping around.
Camille’s performance was fucking awesome as well.
There were a lot of really awesome shots in the movie. The lighting was PARTICULARLY stunning (and I’m not just saying that because of my brief love affair with the gaffer).
