Gun control is for wimps and commies. Listen, let’s get one thing straight. Guns don’t kill people. I do.
Omg. Instant favorite

Bullet Train 2022
You know what, it’s an original, ambitious action comedy that has VERY consistent tone and pacing, actual themes (i mean, they’re definitely there), looks good, has tight action, occasional early Guy Ritchie vibes, and an excellent cast who all came to play. Is it kind of a mess? Yes. Do the jokes always land? God no. Was I getting sick of Brad Pitt’s character? A little! Did I learn too much Thomas the Tank Engine lore? Maybe! But god dammit…

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent 2022
Surprised I liked it as much as I did but Nic Cage and Pedro Pascals’ chemistry is so off the charts here it kind of superseded any issues I had with the writing/plot (though I did find everything that didn’t involve them to be significantly less interesting).
Not a theater must see IMO but it was fun to watch in a crowd and it got applause after lol. I can’t deny the running jokes about The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and Paddington 2 got me.

The Bubble 2022
Murphy’s Law states that whatever can go wrong, will go wrong - and a Judd Apatow movie about rich celebrities making a covid movie, that comes back around to being the very thing it’s making fun of, is an inevitable tragedy that we will just have to accept and move on from as a society

Don't Look Up 2021
Did not think I would have watched this 3 times by now but here we are lmao. I like it more each time, for different reasons, so I am at a complete loss on how I feel about this film. I don’t care one way or another about Adam McKay and he seems earnest in his execution. I truly think some things in this film are genius. Others, eye rolling. The second time I watched it, the last scene made me…

American Psycho 2000
I like to dissect girls. Did you know I'm utterly insane?
Adapted/directed by a genius female pair and one of the funniest movies of all time. The blows are coming from all directions as Harron and Turner poke fun at male vanity through Bateman and society through their reaction to him. There are so many glorious layers to this. The finance bro hater and criminology major in me will always reel at the fact that Patrick, despite his greatest efforts,…

Don't Look Up 2021
It’s not good when real life is funnier than your comedic commentary on it, but it’s a hard line to beat to be fair.
I like Adam McKay and I enjoyed this but I agree with those who think he’s taking himself too seriously. This can’t figure out whether it’s trying to be an apocalyptic drama/straight faced satire or a spoof. Don’t get me wrong, I am proudly in the choir, but the preaching feels too much like it was…

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb 1964
FCC movie of the week!
Fellas, imagine this: you have a post nut clarity moment about the Russians contaminating your precious bodily fluids - do you walk it off or start a nuclear holocaust?
While Dr. Strangelove always had me intrigued, it became clear around the 30 minute mark that this was a full blown black satire that employed both genius spoof comedy (that surely influenced things such as Airplane!, which I love dearly) and clever mockery of U.S. and Soviet…
