Letterboxd — Your life in film

Absolutely incredible that one of the strategies for dealing with zombies in this movie that works best is “have a strong guy beat them up.”

A chilling and action-packed look into the perils of tribalism. Grow up.

Sorry but anybody calling this movie soulless is way off the mark. This is as close a look as we’ll ever get into JJ Abrams’ soul. It's just that the man’s got a small soul. Judging by his work, JJ Abrams is being bombarded with constant overstimulation which causes him spiritual anguish. He makes movies as a cry for help. He's Van Gogh but rich. Everybody's watching and nobody's helping.

So he undid the 2-3 interesting things in Last Jedi to appease some redditors. So what? A man is in agony.

This movie is set during the same late spring early summer that Dazed and Confused is set -that special time of year when it feels incredible to be outside as the sun is going down. The years don’t even close to match up but that’s movie magic for you. If Christian Bale is having fun I’m having fun. I think he has fun once every seven or eight years but who am I to judge.

Making a period piece set in 2012 in 2019 is the funniest possible move. We gotta stop Kony

Luc Sante and Jem Cohen's sensibilities line up really nicely. This is the Road To... series I want 30 more installments of.

My only complaint is that I'd like to think these guys would like me if we met but it's way more likely that they'd think I'm annoying.

Kids rock.

It’s for sure a comedy made in 2003 with all the awful trappings that entails but it’s also one of maybe three christmas movies that have ever made me feel something. I think it’s that kid? I don’t know. Most of my mental energy is going towards the Kevin Spacey video today.

People keep falling over themselves to call Michael Bay an auteur and there’s something really funny about how removed from that conversation he’s obviously been. This movie feels like Bay watched Deadpool and said “this was great but it had some medium shots. I will fix this” and then he just started walking towards Ryan Reynolds like the It Follows sex monster.

They gave this guy a Star Wars because the guy in this wears a Star Wars looking ass hat. That’s at least as good a reason as whatever big-shot producer sex cult ritual JJ Abrams stumbled in on in the early aughts.

Here’s my impression of the audience reaction Ari Aster is aiming for 100% of the time: “Oh dear! This Ari Aster has shocked me to my very core! How dreadful for me that I can neither predict nor tolerate his twisted jester’s vision... for I suspect that in his funhouse mirror there lies a certain truth.”
