I just put this on last night so the soothing tones of a Kevin Costner/sports film combo could lull me off to sleep. 2 hours later it was past midnight my heart was racing and tears were in my eyes, “that’s not Danny Diaz!” reverberated in my head.
What a trip.

Clutchin’ my pearls at some of this funny business

A masterpiece, obviously, in form and in pissing me off.

I’m glad Big died.

Truly devastating and exceptionally warm at the same time.

So I watched this because Instagram reels kept showing me those god awful clips with the AI voice over and I got invested in the story. 
At one point the two leads make out while The Man of Metropolis Steals Our Hearts by Sufjan Stevens plays and Y’know what? That was hot. I’ll give them that. That was good.

In February I decided to ban myself from dating for 6 months and the outcome of that so far has been developing an almost outright phobia of ever having to date again so I thought I should watch a romantic movie to keep the innate lover girl in me alive. I can now confidently say that this movie was 100% the wrong choice and fuck me maybe I’ll stretch out the ban to 12 months.

This review may contain spoilers.

Omg destroy the fuckin usb holy shit god damn it have you learnt nothing what the fuck stomp on it right now for christs sake

To me, this is movies. Just personally, to me, this is perfect movies.
The live orchestra and little introductory video in which Tom Cruise taught us all the history of sound in cinema were cherries on top.

Internally screaming for Cage to get off the beach! why won’t you just get off the beach?! And then I realised I too do not get off the beach sometimes. Sometimes you just can’t get off the beach until you can.

Turned the volume up so loud so my neighbours know exactly who I am (mental illness edition)

Turned the volume up so loud so my neighbours know exactly who I am

A film in which Nanni Moretti has every mental illness and phenomenal hair.

There’s a bit in this where Nanni Moretti confronts a film critic that gave a positive review to a movie that Nanni saw because of the review and then did not enjoy. He does this by reading back to him old reviews the critic has written, all the while the critic cries and screams into a pillow. I think that’s just perfect.

Very absurd but extremely relatable. 

You will suffer.
And you will die.

I’ve settled on the decision that I in fact would let people have affairs in my apartment if I could pay only $85/month to live there.

Every time Jack Nicholson is a romantic lead I feel like I’m being pranked.

You see the problem here is that I watched GoodFellas for the first time yesterday and I wonder what you too would have rated this if you had just watched GoodFellas for the first time. It is good! But yeah… just watched GoodFellas so….

Lotta red flags but I want to hang with these guys so bad.

90s Martin Donovan make love to me etc

“She flirted herself to death.”

Feral for this. I would have been such an insufferable human if I’d seen this when I was a teenager. It’s my first Hal Hartley and I feel like I’ve just discovered my next great love. Everything’s so exciting.

😍 men who have hobbies 😍

Day for it!

Everything is so beautiful it doesn’t even need to have a compelling plot and yet it does.

Felicity Jones better in this than The Brutalist. Yeah, you heard me.

Jerry Stiller as a former lingerie store manager is so perfect. How do I explain this. The moment it was said I was like of course Jerry Stiller was born to play a former lingerie store manager. I even googled has “Jerry Stiller played a former lingerie store manager before” because it felt so right. I may have muddled some details of a former Seinfeld episode that made me think Jerry Stiller had previously played a former lingerie store manager and so my brain feels like it’s something I’ve always known. It’s sublime. I can’t get over it.

You got every different kind of laugh in this:
- funny haha 
- romance giggles 
- because-otherwise-you’ll-cry laugh
- disbelief chortle at everything Flap is and does
And my personal favourite
- “what the hell was that noise Jack Nicholson made when he jumped in the pool?” lmao

Very moving but all I could think about was what if Arthur Fleck came out of the screen on my 10th viewing of joker: folie à deux and fell in love with me? Good grief.

More like Incoherent Vice

Lotta guys in this one and a Zimmer score so yeah, some quality dude cinema.

not thinking about it too much helps

Joe refused to rewatch Mission:Impossible with me tonight for reasons such as “I’ve seen it” and “you’ve seen it” and “we’ve seen it”. So we went to the 8:40pm(????) session of the children’s dog cop movie and you know what? It was good.

Set design $200
Craft services $150
Actors’ wages $800
Soundtrack $3,600,000,000,000
Costumes $150
someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. my movie is dying

(I love this insane movie)

W, and I really mean this, TF.

Can’t be rated. Certainly very blue.

Jason Schwartzman gotta be my second favourite guy in the Coppola dynasty.

Another film in the canon of This Would Only Be 20 Minutes Long If The Characters Actually Spoke To Each Other. But it’s so low tension I’ll allow it.

Cary Grant borderline brown face.

Stonk woman and Stank were my favourite characters.

Whatever happened to crushes? What happened to flirting? And what happened to eating meatloaf off your lover’s chest post-coitus? How did we stray so far from glory? When was the last time you told Al Pacino to cum? Yeah, I can’t either.

Okay guess I’m listening to ABBA on repeat again. It can’t be helped.

This movie made me feel bad and I don’t exactly know why nor do I care to find out.

Not a clue, babes. Not a clue.

Really should say something about all the other performances in this but I do have a lot of feelings about a young Antonio Banderas using kissing to solve every problem…yes.

They’re samurai. Some of them are gay. All of them love to gossip. Queens of “Idk maybe kill yourself?” as the solution.

Did anyone check to see if the lass had an insulinoma?? 

Jeremy Irons and Daniel Day Lewis are the same man I will die on this hill

The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.

Not the ‘Icarus’ by Henri Matisse print on Stephanie’s wall! Damn!
