A pretty good illustration of the rat-eat-rat world of capitalism. Loved the part where Kroc calls the McDonald’s brothers beatniks for not wanting to sell powder based milkshakes and they came back by saying that their card-carrying Republicans like him. The McDonald’s bros are capitalists too, but capitalism doesn’t reward you just for being innovative or good businessmen, eventually you’ll get swallowed up by someone even more cut-throat and slimy. Now I gotta go have a Big Mac.

One of the last couple of Coen bros movies I’d yet to see. This one felt pretty different from most of their other movies, but it still hits. The main characters aren’t surrounded by that usual sense of cosmic doom and bad luck that’s present in their other movies, and even though their plans don’t shake out the way they’d hoped, the ending is almost happy, in the bleakest sense possible. The final few scenes, especially the mad dash on horseback to save Mattie where they’re all on the verge of exhaustion and death, really had me going.

The Nice Guys 2016
Really loved this when I first saw it but after another watch it just shows this is a perfect movie in the sense that every single choice made simply works. Gosling and Crowe are incredible together and we have been robbed of not having sequel! Bring back buddy comedies please!

It contrasts the horrors happening on the other side of the walls, but the movie is about even more than the banality of evil type message and how we’re all complicit in genocide. It captures really well how inhuman and fascistic so much of modern life can…
