    X: The Movie

    ★★★½

    Rewatched this for the first time in 25 years and I still have no idea what I just watched. It's a surrealist fantasy that ends in an incredibly bizarre way. It is definitely far more for the "vibes" audience than narrative audience so I would only recommend to people who are either heavily invested in 90s anime history or people obsessed with craftmanship.

    ★★

    Rewatched this for the first time in maybe 15 years and it's simply a peak DVD ass movie.

    JANET JACKSON.

    ★★½

    The archival footage is the real gem of this. The rest of this is meh surface level advertising documentary for whatever her next album is going to be. Doesn't really dig into her work on any level beyond superficial and you don't really unearth anything you didn't already know about Janet
