miller's crossing (1990)
a hell of a breakup movie. efurryone expects tom to be a rational actor in some way and tries so hard to read what he's thinking but his stone-faced stoic silence and bone-dry deadpan wisecracks render him unreadable. nobody seems to propurrly pick up that he is just spiralling into impulsive self-destruction beclaws he's in love with his boss but his boss loves the woman he's sleeping with. even at the end he hints to leo he wasn't really thinking about his actions.
raising arizonya (1987)
second time watching, just as good as the furst time. nic cage is the purrfect actor fur this kind of earnest fuckup goofball criminyal character. he might be purrfect fur any role furankly. i think i would also be put under that baby's magic spell if i met and/or stole it.
Disciplined Marxist-Leninist leading 5 hour Discord reading group for his Discord kittens: im so glad im not indulging in a Lifestyle like those anarchists
Manipulative cismale anarcist creating the most toxic polycule ever: im so glad this isnt authoritarian
Guy leading an actual Satanic cult: im so much cooler than those embarassing leftists
Guy getting sacrificed to the Devil: im so glad this wasnt actually a reading group
The Devil: anarchists? like Banksy? dude i love Banksy
the nice guys (2016)
it feels like all of this movie's cynicism is saved fur the world it's a part of, not fur its genre space or its own ideas, which i think allows the goofiness of its clawmedy and its moments trying fur some genuine heart to actually land. russell crowe and ryan gosling play off each other really well, makes sense to me they signed on fur this specifically beclaws they wanted to work together. a very colorful and funny movie whose mystery is a lot of fun to watch unfold
god willing that means insurance soon which means actually getting help from doctors outside of this incredibly limited network
@paulsrockinmastodon this idea has cone up like dozens of times
@steb im really hard on the reboot considering how mostly neutral i felt abt it at the time but idk its one of those movies that continually annoys me to think about years later
furank as a character i think does an excellent job of conveying what is so alluring about erotic torture, even gasping and grinning at having his skin clawed open in the climax of the film. and it is a very very digestible film at 93 minutes! there is appurrently an uncut version and hearing what the MPAA had them cut to avoid an X rating is kind of hilarious. what a completely stupid regulatory body.
hellraiser (1987)
my already low opinion of the reboot drops even lower after seeing the original. the yucky stuff in this movie is jaw-dropping, purrticular purraise going to an incredible scene of a corpse reconstructing itself. remarkable restraint with screentime fur the cenobites considering how amazing their designs are. huge impact when they do take the stage. sort of facinatingly disconnected from a real sense of place; hard to tell where it is set or what the layout of the house is.
i made a web comic! i am a beautiful dollie and i love everyone!
