  We must carve out as much love and beauty as we can from a world so desperate to destroy us.

  Into the Wild 2007

  ★★ Rewatched 30 Jul 2023

  I still don't like this but my brother really wanted to watch it so I did him a favour. He loved it, and I'm glad he got that much out of it. Sometimes that's enough.

  My Fair Lady 1964

  ★★★ Watched 26 Mar 2017 29

  A terrifying, blood-curdling story about a working-class woman who is abused, tortured, starved and neglected by a monstrous misogynist psychopath who is so pathologically obsessed with a skewed elitist idea of the purity of the English language that he's willing to completely wreck people's lives over it. She eventually finds her entire being controlled and dominated by him, so much so that even when she finally tries to escape she can't go back to the way she was... and might not even have been able to leave him at all. "Where the devil are my slippers" indeed.

  The Brown Bunny 2003

  ★★ Watched 11 Jun 2016

  I actually think it's kind of clever that Gallo tried to deflect criticism of his narcissism by getting someone else to suck his dick for him.
