  Black Bag 2025

  ★★★★ Watched 16 Mar 2025

  solid Sodiebergh.  

  with “questioning motives” being a core theme here, i can say i’m really only left questioning two motives: what motivated Sodiebergh to feature a thumb print in the poster, and why i am motivated to use “Sodiebergh” as a nickname?

  Le Samouraï 1967

  ★★★★½ Watched 10 Mar 2025

  cool as a cucumber.

  part of me wishes i could rock a fedora with this level of confidence but, for better or worse, the Driving Crooner has set that back at least another decade.

  The Luckiest Guy in the World 2023

  Watched 10 Jul 2023

  white house staffer:  sir, you have a letter here from Bill Walton. 

  Nixon: the big red-head ball player? 

  staffer: that’s correct, sir. 

  Nixon opens the letter, his smile fades as he begins to tremble.  he nervously swallows and says: “call the networks for a broadcast. I have to announce my resignation.”

  The Many Saints of Newark 2021

  ★★½ Rewatched 09 Mar 2025

  finished my second run through Sopranos, naturally had to revisit this. flawed and kinda aimless but i’m still glad it exists.
