  10/10 for Babs. Fixing for a Hitchcock marathon.

  Beetlejuice 1988

  Daylight comes and me wan’ go home,

  Except the afterlife is like the DMV, so do you really? The angels are the Maitlands, but they’re also the ghosts. Who holds the cards?

  Existential dread justified.

  Hit Man 2023

  ½ Watched 26 Jul 2024 1

  Read NAUSEA by Sarte.

  Only a morally-bankrupt society could give this film a 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. Completely unrooted concept of subjective reality leaves no room for guilt, remorse, or any real love. It’s terrible “evidence” for the idea you can craft your own moral code and become a character you make up for yourself. 

  Glen Powell was great in the role (mainly, his variety of personas), and, for what it’s worth, Adria Arjona has crazy eyes, but the content was abysmal. And it felt sooooo long.

  The memory of Gary Johnson, I can only imagine, was absolutely slandered by this film.

  Shrek 2001

  ★★★ Rewatched 29 Jul 2024 2

  My favorite Shrek film, after the Shreksorcist.

  Clever Dreamworks adaptation of classic fairytales in stark contrast to (almost to the level of mockery of) Disney. 

  I love the name Fiona.
