  Goes hard on the big screen. Sound design is a bit harsh (maybe intentionally) and it does feel a bit long, but this rewatch really cemented this as a monumental work for me. I really love how this story of evolution is communicated. The cinematography, costumes, music, and effects are all so ahead of their time. College kids were laughing at the most ridiculous times, but I was pretty immersed regardless. At least momentarily jumping Eyes Wide Shut in my Kubrick ranking, which I would also like to rewatch.

  Good Burger 1997

  ★★★ Watched 13 Feb 2021

  A pro-trans film about dueling fast-food joints that was quite possibly a massive inspiration for Stanley Kubrick.
