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

  ★★★ Watched 23 Mar 2025

  At one point in the third act a kid behind me yelled “what even is going on anymore in this movie??” and everyone in the theater laughed. 

  Lots of funny animation gags and it’s a short 90 minutes which is nice. Worth seeing if you’re an animation nerd or loved cartoons growing up. Bummer it’s barely getting advertised and playing in almost no theaters.

  The Golden Voyage of Sinbad 1973

  ★★★½ Watched 19 Mar 2025

  ★★★½ Watched 09 Mar 2025

  Really fun and whimsical but left a lot to be desired. 

  The absurdism worked really well for me. Really funny and silly. Incredible performances from Robert Pattinson, Toni Collette, and Mark Ruffallo. Had a ton of entertainment value and I had a great time. 

  Overall though, kinda all over the place and messy, leaving most of the philosophical questions and themes either shallowly explored or completely unanswered. The pacing, especially in the second half, felt really off. Made more sense…

  ★★★★★ Watched 04 Oct 2024

  A few scattered thoughts:

  - I can’t believe I watched A Bug’s Life one night and this the next lmao
  - one of the most masterfully directed movies I’ve seen in recent memory. Everything is so intentional.…
