I finally watched this stone cold sober and ah yes that would be why.
Thereās a 1080p remaster of Fritz the Cat out and about. Would watch if I hadnāt just watched it. Love this movie, might go as Fritz again for Halloween, but really do it up this time.

i liked Dune a lot. itās very detached from any sort of characters, just zoomed out power plays, sparse framing, a slow progression.

I know a lot of people didnāt like that Adam Whingard Death Note movie, but I sure did like it a lot. I read the manga 17 years ago yeesh!!!
Like that it transplanted the story, explained the premise, then executed it in 95 minutes is great. The characters are noticable but changed. I liked the L! I like that Mia and Light are stupid teenagers. That Kiraās fame is all around and yet seperate from them because they just got new boy/girlfriend.
Really fun! I kept waiting for it to drop the ball and it didnāt.
I saw The French Dispatch today. I mostly had a nice time with it. Structuring a movie like an issue of the New Yorker is stupid fun. Loved how it basically worked as an anthology film with little narrative connecting tissue in between each āarticleā. Some beautiful shots and funny concepts.
One thing that was absolutely dire though: One of the segments in the film is a parody of the May 1968 student protests. I think this is the first time Wes Anderson has ever engaged with politics, either in his films or in his personal life, and he is just not up to the task. He is utterly condescending and dismissive of the protestors and their goals. He portrays them as a bunch of immature boys who are rioting because they want to be allowed into the girlsā dorms. Itās all the most obvious jokes youāve ever heard about leftists crammed into 30 interminable minutes.
Just total MSNBC boomer politics, itās a real shitshow.

Oh no
There was a bit of that in Isle of Dogs, an elitist framing of the politics, but it wasnāt clear how much was poorly-simplified childrenās movie.

Lol, I thought Pig was great, but I was also really stoned on edibles. Maybe that helped. I got really entranced by Cage staring into peoplesā souls and then dismantling their personalities bit by bit, remembering extremely specific facts about them from their youths and making them face what theyād become.

Everything I want is contemplative stares instead of action

Oh yeah, I watched The Reflecting Skin last night and thatās an incredible film. The same sort of heightened americana horror of a David Lynch but somehow far more bleak and the cinematography isā¦ painterly

mmm, I started having dreams about Days of Heaven again, I definitely need to watch this
itās that but in a bad way
more power to you if it clicks! i found it started off with some strength and unpredictability but became very sluggish and spoonfeeding toward the viewer over its course. it seems like a lot of the critical appreciation comes from contrasting the film with what itās not, which isnāt my thing. i just want to watch your movie, i donāt want to feel like iām looking through a photo negative of another movie
