West Side Story (2021)... it was okay, pretty unnecessary. I paused it within 5 minutes and fell asleep for a 2 hour nap and finished it after I woke up, musicals just make me tired.

I loved Anora I held back tears at the end ☹️😭 and I'm kinda mad at myself for falling for Ivan a little in the beginning with her too lol wow my bar is low.

I recently watched Eyes Wide Shut for the first time… absolutely incredible.

Smile 2 and Heretic... um... ok just having Hugh Grant rant about religion would be enough for me to wish death upon myself before waiting for him to kill me.

Better Man, the Robbie Williams biopic, it wasn't awful... but did we need this? Oh well, I'm just trying to burn through my latest 7-day Paramount+ trial.

Finally watched Anora and I’m surprised by how disappointing I thought it was and I was looking forward to it. I really liked The Florida Project and Red Rocket, but this was a total miss for me. I just wanted everyone to shut up!!

I did think Mikey was fantastic (better than Moore! fight me!) but overall I agree the movie itself was a bit of a letdown. Not bad, just not the masterpiece it's purported to be. If the Academy didn't do ranked voting, I feel it wouldn't have won Best Picture.

I don't think it was a bad movie or anything and it's not surprising to me that it won best picture, given Sean Baker's career trajectory. His projects since Tangerine have been met with such effusive praise in a way "indie" directors usually don't receive from the ~mainstream media~, so it seemed like his career was building up to this. Overall the movie was just... fine? I was shocked that people found it funny? And the actor for Igor was nominated for Best Supporting Actor? Huh, what did he DO? Especially when you compare it to Kieran Culkin's performance in A Real Pain. Wild that he was nominated at all!! I used to pay attention much more to the awards season and I was looking forward to Anora and kept putting it off, I probably would have liked it a lot more if I had saw it in the theatre vs on prime. I think it was too long. At the end of it all I just felt, "okay, who cares?"

I liked Mikey's performance. I haven't seen The Substance yet, I just wasn't into film in 2024. I have a strong dislike for Demi Moore in general (probably beginning as a teen with the CONSTANT coverage of her and Ashton Kutcher, whom I despise) and the narrative about her "second" comeback and how it's about time she's ~earned~ an Oscar win/nom annoyed me so much. Like, based on what previous roles do people think she was snubbed? It's super bizarre.

Conclave... you know what? I wish it was campier. They had all these scenery chewer actors (Fiennes, Tucci, Lithgow) and they felt so restrained. I was craving some Dan Brown unhinged Catholic conspiracy theory sh*t. But it was fine.
