Yet another cronenberg that is an interesting exploration of a theme and how far one can take it but doesn’t really feel like it is saying anything or trying to say anything.

Oppenheimer 2023
Again, not sure that we needed a film like this but regardless it was well done on the technicals. Somewhat blown away with the scale of this film, in terms of its production design and grandeur.
Wanted to watch it in the highest quality and patron an actual imax 70mm to try and vote with my wallet for more productions to utilize the format.

Oppenheimer 2023
Absolutely loved the technicals - cinematography, acting, production design etc but idk the whole mythologization of yet another white dude is a lil cringe.
Was interesting to see that such an American story was written and directed through the lens of a British person.

BlackBerry 2023
Interesting how it seems tech biopics have all started to follow the same rough format, gave a lot of Steve Jobs (2015)

The Doom Generation 1995
Got to see the remaster with a Q&A between Jason, James and Gregg :)
Also got to watch it with della :^)
Really really enjoyed the colors and the normalcy of queer stories <3

How to Blow Up a Pipeline 2022
Wow, still need to compose my thoughts but holy shit they handled every single narrative so incredibly well. Nandita put it best, it kind of felt like a documentary and a film at the same time.

Empire of Light 2022

Sansón and Me 2022
Got to see a screening at SFSU with a panel from the director afterwards. Favorite quote from the panel was “when making a community film it has to be written by the community, it can’t be a top down process like a normal film”.
Absolutely incredible film! I really love the choice to use his family as the actors, it has so many ramifications that make it super interesting.
