To quote the entirety of the chatper titled "The Box and the Key" from David Lynch's Catching the Big Fish:
I don't have a clue what those are.
The grief I have felt the past few days has been unlike the grief I've felt for any other celebrity. Often times celebrity grief is "so glad for what they put into this world" or "that movie changed my life." And I feel that now. But it's joined by a second grief,…
Some people, when they have taken too much and have been driven beyond the point of endurance, simply crumple and give up. There are others, though they are not many, who will for some reason always be unconquerable. You meet them in time of war and also in time of peace. They have an indomitable spirit and nothing, neither pain nor torture nor threat of death, will cause them to give up.
Peter Watson was one of these. And as…
The Three Caballeros presents a land of contrasts.
On the one hand, the dance number in Bahia is maybe my favorite scene in any Disney film full stop. The interplay of live action and animation, the creativity, the music, the dancing. It was a delight.

Me: Wow, that actually sounds like an excellent use of the medium. And what about Jean Tatlock? How are you going to show the audience that…
I’ll decide what to rate this later. I might write a real review later.
For now- I am so tired. This show, this movie- it was a lot of sexist incel nonsense, mediocre storytelling, emotionally unintelligent dribble masquerading as philosophy.
Was the animation interesting and weird and even sometimes beautiful? Sure. But it was in service of nothing.
You know what, I don’t really wanna think about this too much more so I’m gonna give it half a star and say goodnight.
I can’t believe I have to watch four more movies.
