    Oppenheimer

    ★★★★★

    Amidst all the male colleagues and rivals that mythify Oppenheimer and enable his self-importance, making him Vishnu and Prometheus, it's very striking to me that two of the central thesis of this movie are plainly stated by women. First with Jean's character, saying:

    You have everyone convinced that you're more complicated than you actually are.

    A good deal of this movie, as with any biopic, is the mythification of its subject and their role in history. There are…

    ★★★★

    I went into this movie thinking "okay here we go. Time to sympathize with white kids having first world problems". By the time the characters had their introductions promising they'd break the mold of the stereotypes they were boxed in I thought "man if this movie had been released ten years later the closing credits would've had Parents Just Don't Understand playing." But throughout the course of the movie I got why it is a classic. It perfects captures that…

    ★★½

    This girl so stupid bruh. This plot so ass. Gnomeo and Juliet is a better take on the play than this. Bella is so borderline and has depression and is suicidal and has night terrors and this girl should be getting psychiatric help instead of building motorcycles and seeing vampire ghosts. Why does she narrate everything to Alice? There was nothing in the first movie showing them becoming friends except Alice saying “we're gonna be great friends”. Why doesn't any…

    ★★½

    Such a bad and cringe movie, but it's full of instantly iconic sequences like the “this is the skin of a killer, Bella” thing and the godforsaken baseball game. It's fun, it's gray, it's bonkers. Not my cup of tea but I could get a laugh out of it

    A really fun watch. Do I think it's innovative and revolutionary? No. Even within Bong's oeuvre it feels derivative. It is a funny dark comedy, I'll give it that, and the main premise of a worker who's job is to die is very interesting, but it hardly feels like they make the most out of it. There's way too many plotlines—the entire character of Timo feels somehow tangential to anything happening at any time even though he's responsible for all…
