    ★★½

    uggghhh...kinda like being pummeled by rubber boots while being given a memory test with a bunch of missing cards.

    Academically, I'm wet for that but I was half-mast for this odyssey. Robert Pattinson was human super glue holding this ramshackled freighter together. The maniacal energy had a small charm. It was expendable. Hopefully this will serve as a reprint towards another korean banger from Bong Joon-ho!

  • Easter Snap

    Easter Snap

    ★★★

    Ramell Ross has become a director that I'll watch whatever they make without needing to know anything about it!

    Easter Snap shows a community and a ritual. There are a couple moments where reality interrupts the documenting and it doesn't cut or get edited out. That is a brilliant choice. There's a similar moment in Hale County. This assuredness in dealing with the unexpected as a looked for jewel thrills me.

    Georges Franju's Blood of the Beasts came to mind sporadically while watching this

    Rewatch on a big screen was immaculate! The score soared, the bullets roared and dollars changed hands! Rough and tumble-weed fun ~

    ★★★★½

    All-knowing dog! Mirrored Birthquake! Tits and ass-assins and evolutionary dreamborgs...ohhmywizardjaculate! Each rewatch gets richer and deeper! Thoughts about queerness as a function towards transcendence linger like vespers in my belfry~
