there's something celebratorily and special about this movie, a group of people editing this into a glitchy art remix of sort putting their own editing spin on jane's movie into their reinterpretation. a trippy, memorizing, and beautiful showcase of people editing this into something while also keeping the core of what made i saw the tv glow so special to many queer people out there. each wave having such a amazing aesthetic and flow to it. it's…

FINAL RANKING: mission impossible
"our lives are not defined by any one action. our lives are the sum of our choices.
watched in imax... speaking of which
off-tangent and disconnected to the review: this is the first time i've been to an imax theatre since i went to the early access showing of dune: part two, i legit forgot how amazing the format is and how big the screen is. this was worth it thanks to the scale and some…
CW: suicide and other things that may irk you
a love letter to the best person who saved my life, changed me for the better, and has been my romantic partner for 2+ years, willow 💜
back in january 2023, i felt like a very hopeless figure. recently at the time i was exposed for being a very terrible person to my former gf at the time. said actions that i instantly regret and made me realize how shit of…
"this is not mission difficult, mr. hunt, it's mission impossible."
i'm not going to make this a normal review, i'm just gonna make this a cliff of disorganized notes of everything i have to say:
- this movie is filled with "hype moments and aura" moments like oh my god i do not there being so many of those.
- john woo's directing and editing here does give the film a style with the way he shoots…
"red light! green light!"
kinda surprised just how much better this got on rewatch from thinking it was alright to actually pretty amazing. brian de palma directs this material like a champ and his fingerprints are all over this movie with how he uses the focus, the tense atmospehere, and dutch angles to create a thrilling experience. he really elevates standrard if well executed just enough storytelling and turns it into something way more fun and couch clinching than it…
"cool beans."
a visual spendor in cgi visuals rejecting traditional norms at the time instead embracing its bold creative decisions. it's flashy and so proud of itself in its presentation using every possible filming technique to make this a film that looks like no other. your art shouldn't be controlled by big corporations or anyone. you decide what emotions you want to fill or what future lies ahead in a career. personal and sincere art is always…

"i am dead, yet i live"
season 2, watched from april 27-may 4
imperfect but ultimately not as bad as people make it out to seem. twin peaks s2 ultimately for me is a season that has a lot of higher highs with a bunch of lower lows sprinkled in. in many areas when the episodes are good it shines more than the first seasons already spectacular track record.
lynch and frost create a setting where it feels offbeat and…
“the message”

critical drinker complains about girlbosses while they also put a girlboss in this movie. erm, what the woke??? critical drinker not the alpha strong man we know 😥. i was promised this was cinema!
"there's something wrong with me, an emptiness."
while the movie isn't really exceptional at what it does and val is not as interesting as the movie thinks she is, i'm honestly surprised by just how this movie seems too actually function as something competent and actually fun? there are legit stakes with the void being threatening, the action is fun and practical, it doesn't look like it was shot on a parking lot with 2 billion green screens, an actually…
"caesar, you don't know shit"
from their directorial debut alone the wachowski sisters already show their full-on confidence in the directing, style and writing. utilizing an amazing premise and turning it into an awesome mafia thriller featuring lesbians that also happens to be one of the gayest movies i've ever seen. you really get a sense that corky and violet really love each other and their scenes together are so incredible especially with tilly…
"so this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause."
george lucas magnum opus. the culmination of everything he's established in his films all into here. his fascinations with digital technology using them to visualize the world and settings, critiques of fascism and how people willing to believe said mindsets falling for a false sense of security, the sense of optimism even at the end that someday there will be a better tomorrow. i've been in a pretty bad mood recently…
there are many things to discuss as someone who has never read the books (i plan too soon). i can tell this is very rushed and speedrunning to the gate, the movie is 2hrs and 17 minutes cramming a lot into that time and it can make aspects of what it says like fascism not feeling properly realized. as much as david lynch's surreal style and fascinations with dreams are here it's very clearly a…
