Mickey 17 2025
It's kind of a mess but still really entertaining. Pattinson is an absolute weirdo stuck in a leading man's body and carries the movie.
The tone in Bong's English language movies feels so much more ham-fisted and over the top compared to his Korean movies. Maybe a trend for him? Still, the world building is cool, and it feels straight out of a Terry Gilliam movie. It's probably his strongest English language movie behind Snowpiercer.

A Complete Unknown 2024
Perhaps too aggressively conventional for my tastes, but this is still very well made. The dramatic biopic where a famous actor gets to play dress-up will always reach a wider audience than the musical documentary, even if the documentary is better suited to fully explore the artist and their art, and the historical context surrounding it, and to embrace experimentalist filmmaking. Regardless, Timothee is firmly becoming this generation’s closest thing to a classical movie-star.
Comparing this to Todd Haynes’s I’m Not There is an interesting intellectual exercise, but I’ll leave to others that enjoy that sort of thing. I’m admittedly not a Dylan fanatic.

Pulp Fiction 1994
It's indulgent. Really really indulgent. Like the director shows up in the middle of the movie so he can say the N word 5 straight times. But also, it's still the definitive postmodern film of the last 30 years. It made pastiche in vogue and ushered in a whole new wave of copycat filmmakers. It's utterly hilarious. There are iconic moments every 10 minutes of it's runtime. When two characters are in heated conversation about some trivial pop culture tidbit, you can't help but be entranced. It may not be Tarantino's best film, but it's certainly his most significant.
