  Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century 1953

  ★★★½ Rewatched by Jay D 's Watching 15 May 2022

  Four stars for the second half, once we get to Planet X, Three stars for the first, which is pretty much one-joke setup --it's a GOOD joke, but it feels a bit too stretched out for the three minutes or so it dominates the screen, and that 'follow the Alphabet Planets to get to X' gag is perhaps the most cornball thing I've ever seen in a Warner Brothers cartoon.

  Besida 2018

  ★★★ Watched by Jay D 's Watching 15 May 2022

  Vividly shot and anchored by strong performances - wouldn't mind seeing a feature length drama focused around the characters, but as a short-film/snapshot of lives in perilous transition, it works well.

  A person could accuse this film of many things, but false advertising isn't one of them.

  It's sort of tricky to know what to say after this one--on the one hand, I'm pretty sure a lot of other people are articulating things better in their reviews, and on the other hand, I'm still recuperating from the experience of this one. That said, I feel like I should write something, so a few points:

  +I was worried about seeing it in 3D, but the film's color palate is bright enough that it didn't feel like I lost…
