    Comfortably the best documentary I’ve ever seen.

    The way this ends is staggering; it will fundamentally alter your perception of humanity.

    Val Kilmer was class.

    Score was shit.

    Gonna come out and say these movies suck. Julia Donaldson is one of the GOATs of children’s stories but this is in large part because of how well they flow and rhyme. Taking these stories and slowing them down to x0.1 completely undermines this!

    Joker: Folie à Deux

    ★★★½

    This film sucked and I loved it.

    Honestly blown away by this film despite how unenjoyable it was. Going into it I was expecting shite because this was the epitome of a sequel that didn’t need to, and shouldn’t, be made after the master stroke that was Joker (2019)—I figured this to be just another mindless cash-grabbing sequel. 

    Phillips’s first prank was putting a film like Joker (2019)—a nasty, dirty, tragic character study—in front of mainstream audiences under the guise…

    Dune: Part Two

    ★★★★

    A cinematic extravaganza! Undeniably spectacular. Extra half star for black sun alone. 

    Too long though. I love a long film but this is too much; too little is happening. Somehow an epic but with too few factions and characters to justify the runtime. Feels a lot like Denis spent a lot of money getting some beautiful shots then couldn’t stomach editing anything out.

    Left this thinking the book is probably its ideal medium. *adds to read list*
