    2/3 of the runtime is chalamet singing bob dylan songs 

    chalamet also gives dylan this really weird voice that doesnt really land for me --

    and dylan was actually quite charismatic despite what this movies makes you believe

    Plot:

    bob dylan stopped playing folks and started playing other shit and his fans didn’t like that

    parts i liked .. 

    the hard cut to 1968

    the tv scene 

    the scenes where he starts to get recognized out in public 

    edward…

  • Gladiator II

    Gladiator II

    ★★★

    parts of the beginning felt like a straight up tv movie 

    But I'd be lying if I didn't say I kind of bought in

    That being said probably only because I was in a movie theater so I had to pay full attention to the movie

    But the queen wasn't that great of an actress; Pedro Pascal in this movie felt weird to me; the fact that this movie even exists; the cuts to scenes of the old movie -- just at times some of the movie felt off

    Raging Bull

    ★★★★½

    one of the most unlikable characters in a movie ... ever 

    this is not a fun movie — you are just watching someone ruin their life for 2 hours

    but the acting is soo good

    and every movie just looks better in black and white

    and undoubtedly its Pesci's greatest performance 

  • Poor Things

    Poor Things

    ★★★★½

    Plot:

    A blank slate of a human enters the world (so she has no preconception about how the world should be or is)

    throughout the movie she picks up experiences and philosophies through people and books which inform her opinion on the world

    Takeaways:

    This movie is carried by Emma Stone and a director with a clear vision

    Some of the directors choices are borderline distracting - but ultimately work

    Emma Stone is also naked in so much of this…
