  Jackie Brown 1997

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 22 Dec 2024

  EDIT: My main goal for 2025 is to get more serious about my writing. Therefore, I’ve made a Substack so that I have a place to put it and an incentive to write more intentionally. My first big venture is expanding on what I wrote below about Jackie Brown. You can read it here if you’re interested. Much love 🫡

  I did a presentation on Philip Glass in a music production course I took in college, so I assumed I had seen at least most of this. WRONG! I definitely only watched, like, maybe 20 minutes. Oops! I’m considering this a first watch. It’s staggeringly good. Someone should bill this with Princess Mononoke
  
  Some images and sequences I found the most striking:
  -Clouds
  -Crashing waves
  -Gently blowing sand dunes …

  Cha Cha Real Smooth 2022

  ★ Watched 20 Jun 2022

  Did not not enjoy this at all, definitely the worst thing I’ve watched so far this year. It’s a faux-deep romcom (not inherently a bad thing, but in this case it is) that didn’t make me feel anything.
