  may never get through this book on the Cinema of Transgression if I keep stopping every few pages to hunt down and watch one of the films it's describing because I get too excited. this one's my gender though.

  Nosferatu 2024

  ★★★½ Watched 30 Dec 2024

  enjoyed quite a bit, but not the experience I'd hoped for -- this is Eggers' most conventional feature. love the drive, the production design not just to look at but to inhabit and inform, love the delightfully accurate vampire and occult knowledge, love Nicholas Hoult falling apart completely. my partner said it felt like a very solid new staging of a familiar play, though, and that's sort of where I stand. it doesn't have the "the past is another country"…

  I Saw the TV Glow 2024

  ★★★★½ Watched 16 May 2024

  still don't know how to talk about this one. I've never had such a physical reaction in the cinema before. this one was looking directly into my eyes the whole time.
