The Exorcist III 1990
Impeccably realised, exceptionally creative and full of striking compositions, Exorcist III absolutely shreds. Relishes every moment of being a horror, pushing itself to such innovative boundaries, vanquishing itself of any typical trappings. A genre hybrid so unerringly compelling that even a studio demonic-possession can’t derail it. Some of the wildest visuals I’ve ever seen. Ceiling crawl, heaven/purgatory dream, just unreal, nightmarish stuff. Angels with wings no less frightening than a Red Devil with horns. William Peter Blatty is my kind…

Oddly similar to The Whale, just marginally less cloying/cruel though also without Hong Chau so worse in that…

Thor: Love and Thunder 2022
Taika Waititi laughing at his own jokes for 2 hours. Marvel using queer characters as decorative design posing as representation. Bale good (obviously), emotional core just about intact, weightless surroundings abundant, movie pretty insufferable
