    The more I sit with it, the more I yearn to see it again. Toni Collette is one saucy lady in this. What good fun, everyone from the main cast to supporting was excellent. Bong Joon Ho’s quick snap sass is very delicious to me 😘😘 They gotta keep him away from grey creatures though, first the Host, then Okja, NOW the rollie pollies!!!☝️🧐
    ** one critique: towards the end I felt if they established it prior or cut it from the screenplay COMPLETELY, it would’ve paid off more then a bit of disappointment in THAT scene.

    I wish I was Orlando. The ending made me teary-eyed, the soundtrack and Jimmy Somerville’s voice healed something in me that I didn’t know was so tender until now. Such a hypnotic film, questioning the constructs and binaries that confine us into nothing but stopping us from living and being united.
    at last, I am free!

    Wow, sound editing went HARD! Like no words, Mikey Madison the woman you are. Genuinely need to have a rewatch just for the layering of dialogue.
    Definitely had moments where I felt things could’ve been cut short; but I appreciate the long shots and on the surface details. Was just overall exhausted at the end, felt ran through the mud, and just wanted my fairytale ending!!! A comedy, a drama, a dramedy.

    X-Men: Days of Future Past

    ★★★★½

    such a goated movie: In 2014, I got out of early dismissal from school. I remember waiting in line on release day to see this. I was so infatuated with Evan Peter’s at that point, so you bet I ate this movie up like I hadn’t seen a meal in two days. X-men is my favorite franchise ever, and was my first introduction to being so dedicated to going to the theaters.
