  Near Dark 1987

  ★★★½ Watched 26 Mar 2025

  Alt titles for this: The Lost (Cow)boys, Blood (Sucking) Simple, No Country for Undead Men. 

  Obviously Paxton is great here and basically the highlight but it took me 2/3 of the movie to realize that the kid vampire is the little brother from Teen Witch, and had some of the best line reads of all time. Also! Wrote the movie The Final Girls. Trying to get better at watching movies directed by women. Very likely I’m going to revisit this with commentary from Kathryn Bigelow.

  Parasite 2019

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 25 Mar 2025

  “More like Park So Damn!”
  -me every time I watch this movie

I can see its merit but it didn’t really work for me, maybe if I’d seen it in theaters in B&W it’d be a different story. I also stopped watching the pre-film…

  “And don’t let them give you any shit about your ponytail.” is an Oscar winning line if I’ve ever heard one.

The L fight is great but pales in comparison to some of the shit I’ve witnessed on the red line, including but not limited…

  Megalopolis 2024

  Watched 28 Sep 2024

  Absolutely insane what the fuck energy. Call him Francis Freak Coppola from here on out.  Everyone and everything in this movie is cranked up to 11. Civilization brought to its knees by Nathalie Emmanuel. Aubrey Plaza is Wow Platinum for Christ's sake! I felt the strong urge to check the time and it certainly lost me at points but I kinda dug it? The lows of this certainly aren’t pleasant but I strongly disagree with the person walking out of the theatre that called it the “worst fucking movie I’ve ever seen.”
