at the paris theater for their bleak week programming 

Radiohead bangers and incredible performances but damn I …. Once again guessed the twist at the beginning of the movie and fucked myself over. With this and prisoners, this guy is a wild one

Funny Games

Cuckoo

2024

★★½ Watched

this had so much potential for the first half — amazing actress, creepy mysterious trailer with an unclear villain, bass-heavy score, lesbianism, and a very intriguing superpower that I especially enjoyed on an edible but God it tried too hard and only left more questions and frustrations than satisfaction. Felt like a first of 300 drafts. hunter was so good despite the shit plot.

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb

1964

★★★★½ Watched

not a war movie person but loved the silly characters and fear and conspiracy theories of the past. 


Realized that common sound effect used on the blowback podcast is sound of Kong screaming on the bomb hahahah
