  The Living Daylights 1987

  ★★★★ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  I’ve always been a sceptic b/c of the chin but Dalton surprises! The reinvigorating needed after being run down by Roger. Sadly halfway done with his chapter though. I recommend leafing through his wikipedia; Dalton was a real steward of the Bond legacy - much respect, god bless. 

  Favorite moments:
  - Opening sequence - one of the best
  - Late 80s synthwave beat gives it a more serious feel than Moore (similar to the Brosnan —> Craig transition)
  - Salt corrosion car stunt
  - James not being a fuck addict (only 2 women I think?)

  Persona 1966

  ★★★★½ Watched 28 Feb 2025

  Ohhhhh. Everything about this movie is stunning. Right from the start with its jarring but clean opening sequence, and that font (it’s called Florida). All the stylistic black & white contrasted with the story that is anything but black & white. The faces. The bloodsucking? The dialogue is sparse and doesn’t waste a word - the stranger on the beach scene is so well monologued. And Bibi’s hair. It’s all mesmerizing, horrifying, makes Lynch make a bit more sense.

  ★★★½ Watched 09 Mar 2025

  Was like a slightly better Okja with a different ethical premise (replicant rights vs animal/environment rights). Seeing clone schtup your lover - ummm The 6th Day much??! Even some of the characters were analog - Tilda & Toni as the freakish garish lanky ladies. 

  It was funny though and quite quirked up, imaginative, and playful. However some of it felt half-heartedly done and didn’t really land/make sense (the eugenics thing? the sauce thing?). On BJH’s films, they have odd range, but I think the darker Korean works are undeniably his strong suit.
