Not sure if there is a word that fully encapsulates Barbie. Jubilant, but never comes off as corny. Moving, but never comes off as disingenuous. I think some of the characters and relationships are severely underdeveloped, but Barbie’s journey of self-discovery is told in such an meaningful way, it’s hard to imagine anyone not walking out with a huge grin on their face. I also think we have enough evidence to continue casting Gosling in more comedic projects, the guy is a hoot. 

Excited to see Snyder cultists and (far right) men lose their shit.

They’re rich but still nice
They’re nice because they’re rich 

Peerless, perfection.

We need to be re-releasing movies like this in IMAX monthly. 

Podcast Ep. 203- Revisiting Interstellar 10 Years Later

I witnessed the docking scene in 70mm and everyone clapped after which made me forget the one dimension Anne Hathaway character and that it’s incredibly overwritten. Like damn Nolan(s), you don’t have to hold my hand the entire time. Oh well, the power of love!

Edit: I just learned what “docking” means. No, I will not be changing this post.

BEST. FUCKING. PICTURE. WINNER.

Claira and I talked about it on the podcast and can confirm, the movie is still perfect.

Society bad.

Hildur Guðnadóttir you will always be innocent.

This is only the beginning. 

My body is ready for Dune 2.

On the second watch, this movie got better? It didn’t melt my face off like it did in theaters but knowing the direction the movie was going, there’s less of a let down at the end. It’s hard to watch this movie and not enjoy it.

Dune is a visual feast and grandiose in almost every aspect imaginable. The Zimmer score envelops you and it’s easy to get lost in the world that is being created. On top of this, its the perfect marriage of action and heart. 

But despite its numerous achievements, the movie builds to a non existent third act and the movie lacks an actual climax. Coupled with an abrupt ending, I naturally felt incomplete as the credits rolled.

This would normally ruin an experience, but there’s some leniency knowing it’s part 1 of a greater saga.
