    ★★★★★

    Cycles between one of the most compelling, devastating portraits of a morally shaken hero ever put in a comic book movie, and some of the most batshit insane structural and narrative decisions the genre has ever seen. The resulting mixture is so tantalizing, so impossible to look away from, that it honestly confounds me whenever I try to pinpoint a legitimate critical score for it. There is simply nothing like Spider-Man 3. I go into it excited for its legendary…

    This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

    What kind of sicko follows up the funniest scene in the movie (Bob Odenkirk jumpscare) with the saddest scene in the movie (Beth dies)

    BLUE EYE SAMURAI

    ★★★★★

    One of the most insane, vividly compelling action shows I've had the pleasure of seeing in quite some time, taking well-worn and familiar elements and gradually twisting them in ways that genuinely surprised me across the entire season, while tying everything together with one of the most unique and interesting internal conflicts I've seen a protagonist grapple with.

    In middle school I assumed everybody loved this movie because it was so bad it's good.

    Now I realize that everybody loves it because it's just kind of a perfect movie. Like, name a single thing you would change about it. You can't.
