  Cane Toads: An Unnatural History 1988

  Rewatched 01 Dec 2023

  Came toads are "walking disaster areas" who present a menace "as big as the German army in World War 2."

  and/or

  Cane toads are large round frens with skin that feels like silk, and this one likes tummy tickles and his name is Dairy Queen.

  Nightbreed 1990

  ★★★★ Watched 27 Sep 2023

  Breathless and dense worldbuilding, never-ending wacky gory creature effects, David Cronenberg being great in a totally unnecessary slasher subplot, and a sweet and extremely earnest epic fantasy narrative. I don't know if it all ever really gels or makes complete sense (even in the expanded directors cut), but I just like it a lot.

  Root for the underdogs, love your neighbour, ACAB, and true love wins in the end.

  Aftersun 2022

  ★★★★★ Watched 20 Apr 2023

  I don't think I've ever taken a vacation that doesn't have at least a few sad memories associated with it. An argument with a friend, getting lost, not having enough money to do something I wanted do, feeling depressed while somewhere beautiful.

  I don't regret any of those vacations. They are also filled with beautiful, inspiring, thrilling moments. But they are not magic, and they are not perfect. They happened to me, and I am not perfect, and they happened in this world, and it's not perfect either.
