had some good bits, but an HBO budget isn't really making it any better. he should either continue but chill already or quit while he's ahead.
rating:
rewatched just because i LOVE joanna newsom in this, but there are so many other fun people (Hong Chau, Martin Short). and johnny greenwood's soundtrack is great. the meandering plot is relaxing, the bits narrated so smoothly by joanna newsom are presciently post-facto.

🤯. stupendous. mind amazing. i could not have asked for something more astoundingly good. truly understands the meaning of apocalypse. justin timberlake looks like an off-brand justin timberlake. (i don't know if i could watch again—a little too much suicide for me)

worst movie of the year. i hated it. deeply and utterly. cruel with no discernible redeeming qualities. utterly misunderstands the meaning of the apocalypse.
rating:
Surpassed my expectations. Very glad there won't be a season 2 so it won't end up disappointing me later. Almost makes me want to read cyberpunk novels again.

review: i was prepared to dislike this movie given its "star-studded cast" but it surprised me. the line "you can't wake up if you don't fall asleep" speaks to american apathy so deeply.

review: tedious, boring, slow, heavy handed - "not the best Discworld movie"

review: moderately entertaining. the actor who places Adora (Claire Foy, screenshot 1) has that Katy Perry Yennefer-from-The-Witcher face.

review: lol. a bad but funny space comedy action movie. it doesn't do anything well, but there were a few moments or twists that made me giggle. better than "Star Wars" for sure.

âšž the spaceship gets herpe (singular?)
âšž very weird jarring and good time skip thing at end

⚟ the worst part was the over-the-top, prolonged hetersexual sex scene

review: i had disregarded this movie many years ago as a middling monster movie, but it's so much more than that. it is about class, addiction, post-war japan, sex appeal! the set and character design are over the top and really make an impact at the climax.

review: this had too many songs. it was as cute as i remembered! i liked the "message" about keeping old appliances.

review: A reaaaally good BBC mini-series (which is practically a movie). The texture of the film made me relax (nostalgia). For me it brought up thoughts about anthropogenic climate change and fossil fuels, distrust of nature and science, the self-destructive nature of nature, the way able people think disability is a death sentence. Watching it motivated me to finally try and read Wyndham's book.

review: funny. zany. wacky. a lot of good gags. Whitey's Lindy Hoppers bring it to an amazing level of energy. some of it's certainly dated (robert e lee sketch) but overall i liked it.
