  Velvet Goldmine 1998

  ★★★ Watched 25 Oct 2024

  A fever dream but not feverish and dreamy enough to be great. Definitely not enough cohesion but I don't this that was the intent and so I won’t judge in that aspect.

  I didn’t realize Toni Collette was in this before hand but my god she’s always a scene stealer for me. 👌🏼🫰🏼👏🏼

  Stand by Me 1986

  ★ Watched 17 Mar 2020

  A celebration of all that is boomer. A treatise on why the boomers have laid waste to our planet and society.
