  The Accountant 2016

  Watched 16 Mar 2025

  can’t help but wish this leaned more into the absurdity that the premise calls for, but I can’t blame them going down a more sentimental route given how strangely neurodivergence is presented here. not exactly gimmicky— but not the serious action flick it presents itself as either.

  sophomore year passed, as…

  then there’s online me. there’s tumblr me, letterboxd me, twitter me.

  every time I remake, delete, refresh, etc. is like a rebirth; the internet providing us with the power to make or destroy an entire identity in the span of seconds.

  there are infinite versions of…
