  ★★ Watched 11 Mar 2025

  An interesting first act full of potential sadly devolves into SNL resistance-lib wish fulfillment. The entire ‘expendable’ premise gets bulldozed so it can become Okja 2/Fern Gulley/Orange Man Bad: The Scifi Extravaganza. It’s abundantly clear that this movie was written and filmed under the assumption that Kamala would win in a landslide, and the saccharine ending was eye-roll inducing.

  Shallow Hal 2001

  ★★½ Watched 26 Sep 2024 1

  Filmed pre-9/11 and released just months after, this movie is extremely of-its-time, for better and for worse. There is a tender and heartfelt core to this movie beneath the crassness, but the central premise is pretty irredeemable. In 2001 this might actually have been a life changing movie for a guy like jack black’s character in the beginning: the prototypical porn-addict gooner.

  Edge of the Ocean by Ivy is a great song. 

  Ok also the opening scene time-warp from childhood…
