  Wayne's World 1992

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 22 Mar 2025

  Before the screening Penelope Spheeris told an anecdote about curving Paul Schrader in college and how it caused Robert De Niro to reject her. 
   
  I should’ve done a Wayne’s World instead of college.

  A Fish in the Bathtub 1998

  ★★★★½ Watched 21 Mar 2025

  Just so enamored with Silver’s sensibilities. The colors, the characters, the cast. The way she charts these small increments of growth is just so tender and beautiful. 

  Stiller and Meara are perfect here. They jerked every tear from my eyes in those final moments. Stiller particularly. He just looked at her in this way that conveyed an undying love.

  Ruffalo and Adams are perfect siblings.

  Black Christmas 1974

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 14 Dec 2024 1

  There’s so much I could rant about with this film, but it’s 2 AM and I need to sleep. Adored this so much on a second go around. Never even came close to nodding off during this midnight screening. We had the perfect audience for this showing. A whole new side of the film’s comedy opened up to me. 

  Those phone calls are some of the most disturbing things put to screen. 

  The audio match cuts scattered throughout the flick are so indicative of the film’s balance of comedy and horror. Fucking perfect. One of my favorite prints I’ve seen all year.
