  Porco Rosso 1992

  ★★★½ Watched by Ben Bolton 20 Apr 2022

  Very fun, very pretty movie. I too would rather be a pig than a fascist. Good thing my girlfriend thinks I look like Porco!

  The American Dreamer 1971

  ★★★½ Added by Ben Bolton 1

  As difficult to follow as you'd expect. But still beautiful and full of thought-provoking moments mixed along with the chaos of Hopper's peak Cocaine Cowboy era.

  Loved the part where he just says "I don't believe in reading."

  Dune 2021

  ★★★ Watched by Ben Bolton 22 Oct 2021 1

  Not sure about a lot of this film, which I think is to blame on the source material and the adaptation (enormous parts, obviously) but the aesthetic is nearly perfect. Fraser killed it and whoever designed the Atreides armor did a 10/10 job. Momoa and Bautista gave surprisingly not huge groan-inducing performances. Chalamet was good until he did the classic "yell at my mom and say something like 'i'm a freak!!!'"

  These are some loose thoughts on the movie, maybe I'll revisit and feel different, but the story here was really lacking for me.

  Save your money and don’t waste your time! Music sucks, also.
