  Before Midnight 2013

  ★★ Watched 14 Mar 2025

  Both Celine and Jesse are insufferable in this—and it’s depressing whereas the two movies before it were lovely—but at least it’s honest.

  Kudos to the writers for not being starry eyed about a relationship founded on selfishness and also for bringing into focus all their loathsome traits.

  I must be missing something. Everyone thinks this one is better than the first?

  Jurassic Park 1993

  ★★★★ Watched 09 Aug 2024 2

  Rented out the theatre room and watched this one with the wife and a couple pizzas—Hawaiian papa johns. Was feeling exceedingly merry, so I also ordered soft garlic bites. 

  As for the film, it was good. I jumped once or twice and spilled signature papa johns garlic butter all over my legs and crotch and the floor. But it’s okay because I later mopped it up with my third beer, which I spilled over everything. 

  I’m moving out tomorrow. Hopefully I receive my damage deposit back before the theatre room begins to reek of beer.

  Before Sunrise 1995

  ★★★★ Watched 07 Mar 2025 2

  I remember reading a quote once by Denis Villeneuve where he said that dialogue is his least favourite part of a movie—that if he could make a movie without dialogue, he would do it. 

  Denis, I must confess I like dialogue quite a lot. :(
