Thoughts while watching the clock:
- fascinating to order events not by year or decade, but by time of day. You see the daily habits and rituals that bind us: the shame of sleeping till noon, the countdown until lunch, the rush for the train. Each clip’s mundanity only emphasizes our perpetual sameness; it’s like watching all the days of modern (mostly white) America squished into one. I’m so used to glancing at a 24-hour clock to stay on schedule…

High Fidelity 2000
John Cusack’s character and his latent 90s misogyny are a huge eye roll, but he’s still a lil endearing only because I know him (or parts of him). As a lover of lists and rankings I can really get behind the film’s storytelling method.
Back to the feminism… this basically has the plot of “Worst Person in the World” but with a male lead, so its protagonist is supposed to be understood as just immature, not horrible. But anyway I did really enjoy it so 4 stars

Ice Age: The Meltdown 2006
Truly a film. One major plot point is that Manny thinks he hears one of the last remaining woolly mammoths, but it’s actually a donkey farting in a log. And the characters spend most of the movie convincing the mammoth-love-interest that she’s not a possum. Would love to have been in the writers room when they were storyboarding this. Beautiful minds.
