Eephus 2024

★★★★ Watched 18 Mar 2025

baseball as the embodiment and means of the ritual, habitual, unspoken practices of friendship; to form a true and lasting community around Play is maybe as close as we get to Paradise, even if the actualization means inevitable loss (of your prime and your ability) and disappointment (at the result) and frustration (with your people and at the many factors outside of your control)
anyways, hit me hard! baseball should be a human right
Wild at Heart 1990

★★★★½ Watched 17 Mar 2025

Lynch’s command—the seamless shifts between “swooningly romantic” and “completely demented”, for example—is unbelievable. gasped every time nic started singing. “my life a movie fr” but it’s the wizard of oz; we’ve all been there

A Tiger in Paradise 2023

½ Watched 13 Nov 2023

appallingly self-indulgent, hagiographic, and pretentious; worse than that, uninteresting! filmed like an artsy commercial, written like a half-assed first draft of an atlantic article about lifestyle. made me hate artists
genuinely feel scammed having had to watch it to watch the artist play guitar live (for a shockingly inflated price, no less!). stick to the world class classical guitar playing, Jose!
Cocaine Bear 2023

★★ Watched 23 Feb 2023 4

unreal levels of pointlessness in this one. can’t believe how many bad jokes there were and how many jokes were just “the BEAR did COCAINE” and “this CHARACTER dropped an F-BOMB”. too many characters, embarrassing attempts at emotional resonance, don’t think they succeeded in making the bear on cocaine be convincingly sneaky. okay gore
