  The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie 2024

  ★★★ Watched 15 Mar 2025

  I appreciate this movie more than I liked it. I appreciate having a looney tunes film in theaters, and I appreciate the art direction 75% of the time. I really REALLY appreciate the (now novelty) of seeing hand animation in a theater again. Think my last one was the Bobs Burgers movie? 

  The designs are good, but I just have a thing with modern Warner Animation that i’m not a fan of that comes across as very generic for me…

  The Arrival of a Train at La Ciotat 1896

  ★★★★★ Watched 04 Mar 2025

  I mean, genuinely, how can this not be 5 stars. 

  What is it? The title is exactly what it is.

  How well did they do it? The footage is shot well and actually survived to 2025.

  How much did I enjoy it? It was brief, and I can now say I have seen a film from 1896. And now You can too! 

  Seriously, this footage should have been lost. It’s really cool to see such an early start to such a major part of our lives.

  Emotionally manipulative films can get a message across, and this message was resoundingly “if you want to fight child sex slavery, then give OUR MOVIE more money” including a fucking scannable code to buy more tickets because the theatrical experience OF A MOVIE is SO CRUCIAL to saving ACTUAL children. And that is one of the most…

  Missing 2023

  ★★ Watched 09 Jan 2023 2

  There’s a caveat before this one: this film review is going to be hard to remember because I had the most amazing hour and a half long conversation with two wonderful people afterwards and I swear it skewed my opinion of a film I didn’t care for because they are both amazing. I now have to actively work to refocus on the film, and not an incredible night.
