    Scarface

    ★★★★½

    Loooook, I could rhapsodize for hours about Pacino’s all-timer performance, that the American dream can only be achieved nefariously, the character complexity, the fuckin production design and costuming and score that all exude style…but the fact of the matter is that Scarface is just really freaking fun. Does it make me a bad movie man that I preferred this to both The Godfather and Goodfellas 😬 I need to go buy a Scarface rug from the side of the road now.

  • The Big Lebowski

    The Big Lebowski

    ★★★½

    Highly regarded by both the normie class and the intelligentsia, but I hated The Big Lebowski watching it for the first time as a stupid little baby. Now, I still don’t care for most stoner comedies, and usually care for drama Coens over comedy Coens, but watching this while somewhat baked is…pretty fun! Do you think that was their intention?

    Past Lives

    ★★★★½

    Past Lives is less concerned, I think, with its central love story, and more interested in the stories we tell ourselves about how love should be. I pretty much never cry in movies, but this wrecked me.
