Film & Television

haven't seen this since i was a kid. wow the stampede scene is pretty intense. fav songs: be prepared and can you feel the love tonight

i only work in black

this isn't a movie but i don't have a theatre category so it's going here until i figure something else out. i knew the gist of the story going in and a couple of the songs. knowing what was coming meant fighting tears from when hades set the conditions onward (as were many people in the crowd it seemed like). wait for me was INCREDIBLE. loved the rotating stage. also didn't expect to be so taken by persephone and hades. listened to the cast recording the entire rest of the time in nyc

wish i lived in this world...

the merry-go-round of life song of all time

such bravery T_T

aaaaaaa

i hope they make a million of these movies. announcing science ninja techniques like naruto jutsus. cool character designs. the diana karaoke segment unironically rules. the 90s anime intro. clark character arc. magical girl discowing. the video game car racing.

what if every background was wildly detailed and beautiful

it still rocks

dare i say, a solid season of black mirror

watching this in a theatre while yumeji's theme blasts at full volume… that's cinema etc. etc. afterward we went across the street to eat noodles for dinner

gotta love a comedy of errors. apparently i should go watch a guy ritchie movie

movie of the year

this movie is so goofy

I love retrofuturism…….the style and music were so good!! Space is cool. Silver surfer is cool. Science is cool. Good family vibes. I think Galactus is supposed to be a big baddie in marvel but I am uninitiated so to me he was whatever, just some evil guy. Great title sequence!!

:'(

i watched this after school as a kid. revisiting it now—wow, this is a pretty dark series huh. gorgeous too

everything i expected it to be (beautiful, whimsical, charming) and then also kind of Too Real when it comes to being a shy person!!! i should have watched this sooner. also the score <3

lois lane, light of my life. lex was SO evil. best boi krypto. just a whole lot of fun.

so many memes i understand now

unbelievable throwaway comment about girls’ generation

bangers. listened to the soundtrack on repeat all week after. i spent my teenaged years as a huge sone and general kpop fan so all the jokes and references were delightful. hard to pick what the best song here is, they're all SOTY

love the ocean. pom <3 they really were like 'how can we make this impossible situation even MORE impossible for tom cruise' and they kept escalating that. sadly forgot everything that happened in every previous movie so the flashback montages did nothing for me.

unironically a banger. batman and joker should kiss. also, great animation.

good

partway through this became a mecha anime and u kno what? hell yea

i don’t even go here. the outfits though…stephanie vaquer’s horns, rhea ripley’s entire vibe, naomi’s hi-viz outfit. not a fan of john cena’s jorts. i am now acquainted with mr iguana.

damn, a solid marvel movie. the power of friendship saves the day! yelena was great, the bit where she shields [redacted]'s eyes was so :( surprisingly sincere when it needed to be. also JLD doing more comicbook evil politicking...i should finish watching veep. downsides: mcu fatigue, i forgot who walker and taskmaster were lol. needed more ava!

just read the companion book so i had to rewatch this again

:(

lol

selina calling bruce 'vengeance' like a pet name…the bat and the cat.......

trains…

oh boy! the world’s worst decision making on display

i love u miles

the only mario game i've played is donkey kong so my partner had to explain all the references

oh dude!!!!!!!!!!

fav sequences: gwen and the whole guggenheim scene, gwen and miles swinging thru brooklyn and talking, the first bit of the nueva york train chase in the underground layer, start a band reprisal

cute…just want these kids to be happy!

as a new batman enjoyer, i found more to appreciate about this! dark and gritty noir atmosphere was great; loved the dramatic neon lights and shadows; still wish there was more weirdo awkward bruce; i now get the ending theme of batman needing to grow beyond vengeance. (dc i'm begging you to introduce dick grayson, imagine the comedy with this particular bruce)

it’s…mid…😭 the poster is cool tho

i'm clueless about football so I watched this in the optimal way: with commentary by my partner explaining many various football things ('so who do we want to win? philly? ok') as well as Kendrick lore. I love to be a bandwagon hater

LOL. lmao even. redeeming qualities: henry cavill being very handsome, lois lane being cool (ignoring her terrible plot points), the wonder woman theme unironically bangs at this point in time, the setup might have been interesting. and yet! nonsense.

wish i were on the beach in sicily right now. but none of the other stuff

nebula redemption arc my beloved

mcu needs more knife fights

one of my fav end title sequences

better than i remember

blah. bleh.

oh my god, they were roommates

so many iconic lines…

it is unbelievable how good this show is. absolutely beautiful animation. stylish out the wazoo. i am unwell about it

yeah i’m really on a DC kick now huh. fun! i love these kids.

beautiful animation and environments, loved the jazzy soundtrack

at long last—the fall in 4k in theatres, as it's meant to be seen. beautiful.

showstopping!!!

went into this not knowing anything about it and felt every emotion

a breathtaking trip across japan. every sight is the most beautiful place you've ever seen.

perhaps not as enamouring as season 2

trains! trains! trains!

sigh. i love rewatching a beautiful movie and finding more to enjoy. this round: the little tune that plays as gustave and zero run off after reuniting (‘no safe-house’)

surprisingly i’ve never gotten spoiled for this movie…

yes...hahaha......YES!!

my first transformers movie lmao. whenever they said ‘autobots ROLL OUT’ i was like leo pointing meme

get bamboozled

we're so fucking back

fun! somehow managed to watch this while not seeing any trailers/promo/leak stuff so i was blissfully unspoiled for everything

i really wanted to like this, but…terrible romance development. sasuke showing up for ten seconds to save the planet and then immediately disappearing again was very funny

god what was this even

rawr :3

was into this when the anime was first airing back in 2013 (what a time that was)—haven't kept up since 2014ish. rewatching from the beginning. interested in seeing why this continues to be so hyped

DESERT POWER

👀

so cute…slowly watching this

mariko-sama…

oh to scheme and plot on a train through the swiss countryside

we love worms. so much gorgeous imagery and sound. the monochrome gladiator battle...every time they used the VOICE......i love dramatic shadows, light, silhouettes.

enjoying this so much—the spy shenanigans are pretty silly but if I wanted realistic spy stuff I'd just watch The Americans. Donald Glover and Maya Erskine are soooo good.

happy this is playing again in theatres, so i could watch it there and get blasted by hans zimmer music. love the worms!! i forgot how long and slow this movie is.

perhaps, the perfect movie. i've been listening to the soundtrack a bunch lately

Watched this the way Scorsese intended: 85% in theatres, and the final 15% at home three months later due to a fire alarm.

gorgeous. I first watched this probably more than a decade ago, on a crappy little streaming website, so it was great to see this in theatres. I forgot how magical the music is. And of course, the surreal animation.

this was re-released in theatres so of course i had to go see it again

a lot of planes, but what can u do in america

i love character development!! sydney eating through chicago, the sojourn to copenhagen, the taylor swift moment...

again! again! again!

this is so uplifting and hopeful

i guess this is my comfort movie now

oh u kno. simply my favourite thing this year.

another holiday classic......every trap makes me die inside tho. imagine getting hit by four bricks. and that's just how it starts

i now finally understand community ep 'modern warfare'

we had this on vhs growing up, and i don't think i've watched it in well over a decade. it still holds up, and i appreciate the adults a lot more now—his mom loves him and would do anything to get back home! old man marley misses his son but is afraid to reach out! and on the flipside, the violence makes me cringe more because it's so comically violent and they would have definitely died lmao. i still can't watch the nail scene.

he was a punk...she did ballet......

i loved how absolutely absurd and heartwarming this was. top tier christmas movie

beautiful. but what does it mean

i now understand the gifs

delightful

feel sad movie

chris pine...

i think about aline all the time

a classique

chaaaaarming

rewatching this for the memes is fun

you’re gonna go to the HARDWARE store you’re gonna get some JOINT COMPOUND

why did it take me so long to watch this? i’m crying my eyes out

WITH KE HUY QUAN

god i wish we had trains here

beautiful and perfect

[hand squiggles] delightful. i love melancholic hijinks

the plot didn’t make much sense. visuals were gorgeous tho

the last episode was hysterical

fav: probably joan is awful (fun!); I liked the setting/premise for beyond the sea. Overall, this was more violent than I have the stomach for 🥲

surreal

on season 5

this makes me want to visit new zealand

omg taylor swift... I wish I liked this, the individual pieces were there but ???

cute

delightful and charming. one of the fight sequences was stunning

I liked the aesthetics and Saoirse! I committed the grave crime of multitasking while watching this, so I missed many cinnamontopography things—didn’t realize it would be such a visual treat.

surprised by how comedic this was! also, el tango de roxanne............... immediately after the movie I went to watch the tessa virtue/scott moir ice dance

I first watched this maybe ten years ago, and I remember liking it. Rewatching it now and—everything hits harder. Criticism is easy. Great art can come from anywhere. Le Festin is perhaps the most beautiful song in the world?

I haven't actually sat down and watched this movie all the way through before. I liked Joker and Dent being villainous; I think I've oversaturated myself with action movies recently that the action itself was less interesting.

I meant to have this play in the background while I drew, but it was too irresistible to not pay attention to

property damage: the movie. scarecrow was legit scary. also I can't believe this movie came out in 2005

immaculate vibes

I AM KENOUGH

need to watch again with subtitles

the plot is...hmm. this was background movie watching

at long last, i am watching this. i'll have to say more later, but—leverage is one of my favourite shows in the world and it is such a wonderful gift to have this revival series.

the laughing thing is tbh nightmare fuel

dang

heard it went downhill. first two eps were pretty solid tho

stupendous. dazzling. breathtaking. the most beautiful thing my eyeballs have ever laid upon

ugh, going to miss this show so much.

i cry

i enjoyed

video games!

it is as moody and cinematic as they say. unexpectedly: loved the music

good silly fun

Extremely Wes Anderson. Enjoyed so many things: horizontal scrolling shots, the yellow sets, the softened quaint violence, the romantic music (e.g. when the song plays on the jukebox), the chef.

this is...a marvel movie. Things happened and nothing was engaging. I know CGI fatigue is a tired argument but whew I really felt it here.

jeepers, this was stressful. I can't say I enjoyed watching it but I liked the music.

still lots of fun the second time around

mmm dramatic speeches in the rain.

Interesting. I think I would have to rewatch it to appreciate its critically acclaimed qualities. I didn't find Henry Hill terribly interesting. Tommy made me nervous every time he was on screen.

I didn’t know this was based on a true story until after! The drama of it all.

this sure is a christmas movie

Tragedy 😔 also can't believe the quote about being beautiful and doomed is from this movie

I liked the individual parts: the cast (Sofia Boutella! Sterling K. Brown!), mythology, and style. The overall plot was less engaging, and the dialogue was sometimes quite silly. But this is, like, my kind of movie.

This was my second time watching, and it made a lot more sense. I wish there were more rpatz/protagonist story and less misogyny. lmao.

Ok, I barely paid attention to this because I was drawing at the same time. Lots of fucking around and finding out, it seemed. Bb rex!

So stylish and fun. I went into this without watching the trailer or knowing anything about it, which I recommend. I think I liked the mystery of the first one more. The setting felt very timely.

This was...interesting. I liked Namor and the introduction of the underwater world. So much of the movie was dark to the point I thought there was something wrong with the theatre screen.

truly impressive manoeuvring

surprisingly good!!! the hype is back

Fun and light-hearted

I watched this in the background while grinding FFXIV

Wow, a web series! The travel manoeuvring was very impressive and 4d chess moves fun.

Really fun! I watched Dragon Ball Z as a kid but otherwise don't really know the lore, but the vibes and music were good. I liked Gamma 1 and 2.

Haven't read the comic; am intrigued.

Finally watching this for the first time!

This was...hmm. The plot was incredibly bad and nothing made any sense. But 80s and Chris Pine!

Action is fun, plot and characters are less interesting; I would like movies to stop putting in torture scenes.

Awwwww.

Charming and super stylish.

It was…fine. Tonally weird.

Fun, as usual. Still scary!

I think I would have enjoyed this more if 1) I wasn't half paying attention the entire time; and 2) I hadn't just finished reading the superior book. I do want to go on a long idyllic cruise now though.

I just finished reading the book last night, which I think kept me from fully enjoying this as its own work because I kept comparing the two. The setting was pretty and now I want to go on a long idyllic train ride.

cute!!!!

Cool graphics; plot felt disjointed.

Still incredible.

TAKE MY BREATH AWAAAAAAY

Fun! I now understand the X-Men references.

I liked how colourful it was! Actions scenes were good. Hit every 'Hollywood movie that takes place in Japan' bingo card item.

RYAN REYNOLDS????

Questionable plot and writing. How many times does Magneto have a change of heart??

The villain was not interesting.

Time travel is fun.

Very funny, very emotional, very absurd, thinking about it makes me want to cry.

I finally understand the memes!!!

Honestly surprised at all the people that died in this.

Still holds up!

Hmmm. I liked Wanda and America, but I wasn't a fan of the overall execution and writing.

I liked the introspective character stuff! Less interested in big evil world-ending plot.

SORRY MY PRADA'S AT THE CLEANERS ALONG WITH MY HOODIE AND FUCK YOU FLIP FLOPS

I enjoyed the plot and characters, but like everyone else, I felt this was too long. I wish we saw more Bruce.

WORM TIME. I really enjoyed this and will try and read the books now.

this is complete nonsense. Vanessa Kirby has incredible hair.

Yet Another Rewatch

I remember not quite liking this season as much as season 1, and upon rewatch I like it even less. I'm not interested in big world-ending plots with mysterious organizations, and I don't enjoy the weird ninja stuff.

I enjoyed this, but there was a scene in the first act that made me feel so viscerally uncomfortable/horrified. Time loops are fun though!

Fun improv.

Realistic spy stuff! I would enjoy this more if there was less camera shakiness.

I appreciate the more grounded take on super spy shenanigans, as compared to Mission Impossible or Fast & Furious. I could not get behind some of the character decisions.

How do I rate this movie? It's both a 4/4 and a 1/4. Every line of dialogue is overdramatic, both in content and delivery. The skateboarding is incredible.

The execution of this was not that great. I had trouble getting attached to characters and their motivations. The Tusken Raiders story in episode 2 was a standout.

I liked the music and visuals. The plot was strangely executed. Overall, good Disney vibes.

Very fun, one of my favourite intros.

The cast is cool, but I wasn't interested in the plot, and I felt there was too much going on to get engaged with the characters.

The Daniel Craig saga ends. This was okay. I wasn't into the plot but the cinematography was pretty as usual. Paloma was my favourite part of the movie.

Surprisingly full of action. I liked the steampunk setting.

‘How can this movie's stunts possibly top the stunts in #8?’ I naively thought to myself. Anyway, I have finished this whole endeavor and can now enjoy the family memes.

Big girlboss energy. This improves upon the original by not being horribly orientalist, but I was still not super into it.

Absolutely bananas. Zombie cars! A submarine whale! Hacker fights! Protecting Dom with the power of cars!

Fun!

The ending made me sad. Family!!!

Thrilled to see Letty return.

Both very fun and also very emotional. I'm glad I watched the earlier movies, for better context of everything happening.

Very bizarre. Things kept happening.

Crime family grows! Everything is bananas and thrilling.

Crime family!

Many things are funny about this movie.

Roman is fun!

I am finally watching these movies. Cars go fast.

This is very much a product of its time. Femme fatale tropes, weird orientalist scenes, big girl power energy.

An amazing show. I don't know anything about League, but I really enjoyed this. The art and animation are incredible, and the characters are great.

Yeehaw!!! I liked the western setting and thought this was a fun end to the trilogy.

The time travel gets so much weirder. The retrofuturistic 2015 is cool. Every time they said the movie title I would [Leo pointing meme].

Really enjoyed this! I wish Xialing got more time dedicated to her story.

It's fun! Time travel is fun. The car is cool. The mom subplot is incredibly weird.

What a fun mystery!!! I really enjoyed the setting, the dialogue, and all the fun characters. Daniel Craig's accent threw me off so much when he first spoke, because I had just spent last month watching his James Bond movies.

Ridiculous and very fun.

Cool aesthetics and music. I didn't really follow the plot.

The music makes this very fun. I liked the dramatic story and over-the-top vibes.

Pleased to report that the woman doesn't die. I had trouble following the plot as usual. Lots of explosions. The Day of the Dead intro was beautiful.

Fun and pretty. I thought the villain in this one was more interesting than the previous. The treatment of female characters continues to be bad. My favourite intro so far. Also, giant lizards!

I was not into this and I was especially not into seeing female characters get abused. My expectations for Bond movies are at rock bottom.

Rewatched this with my partner, who hasn't seen it before. I loved Daredevil the first time I watched it and I'm excited to revisit it.

I've never seen any of the Bond movies. The colours were beautiful and reminded me of film. The plot and characters were less interesting to me.

Enjoyable and fun. The art is gorgeous and probably my favourite part of the series.

Silly and wholesome. I watched the sequel to this first a while back, so it's nice to see the whole story now.

I don't get Evangelion, which has to do more with me than the series. This movie was visually stunning, though I didn't follow the plot. I wish Rei could be happy and domestic for the whole movie. The fanservice was egregious and distracting.

Loved this. It's an anthology of short Star Wars-verse stories by different anime studios. Favourite episodes: The Village Bride (beautiful music!), The Ninth Jedi (omg), and Lop and Ocho (gorgeous art/environments).

It's cute and charming. I don't know anything about the Beatles, but it'd probably be enjoyable to Beatles fans. It's easy and light to watch.

Still fun! Happy to see Fennec return. Dad vibes are stronger than ever. Seeing more Mandalorians that had different values was neat. Very cool to see Jedi.

I'm late to the party, but now I finally understand the memes. The music was good, Mando is fun, I would die for Baby Yoda. The heist episode, which is my favourite genre, was very fun. This is the way.

Charming. As expected, the aesthetics are gorgeous: lovely colour palettes, symmetrical frames, and fun music.

It's fine. I probably would have liked this more if I hadn't just watched the original trilogy, so I found myself very bored during the origin story because all the story beats were familiar.

A lot better than I was expecting, because everyone says this movie is bad. It's fun! Venom the character is fun. The plot was not very interesting. I'm glad Anne and Dan were good characters and there wasn't an annoying love triangle shoved in.

Everything happens so much. I thought having both Sandman and Venom in this made it too crowded, and found a lot of plot points silly. Emo Peter dancing down the street was very funny. Disappointed in the way MJ was written throughout this entire trilogy. Love triangles are tiring.

I liked the identity crisis plot. Doc Ock's arms were very cool. I thought the initial fusion machine scene was overdramatic and silly, and then the following hospital scene gave me whiplash because of how violent and horrifying it was (I still have that shot with the nails stuck in my mind…ugh). The romance remains tiresome.

I haven't watched this the whole way through before. It feels very much a product of its time with the weird love story and damsel in distress plot points.

I’ve never seen an MIB movie before and didn’t really get what was going on here, but I think it was also…not very good.

pretty fun, I was more intrigued by the missing mother plot than the viscount one, but apparently there's a sequel planned? so hopefully that will be explored more.

I didn't like this one as much as the 4th movie, but it was still fun. There were lots of NO U moments and I had no idea what was going to happen. I wish I were cool enough to ride a motorcycle.

very dark and joyless. I adore the comic and I think I wouldn't have understood this movie if I hadn't read it before. The musical cues were strange and the way the flashback scene between the Comedian and Silk Spectre was shot felt incredibly uncomfortable and unnecessary. Watchmen was never great with women (idk if a product of its satirization or just the usual men writing women thing, I'm not a scholar) and I just have to look past it to enjoy the thing.

charming and cute, with wonderful music. I watched this with my friends but we ended up not finishing it.

I didn't really get it. But also, I just wanted to see robots fight and that wasn't the focus of this movie.

this is a fun movie. I did some Destiny item management while rewatching it. The plot is confusing, but Catherine Zeta-Jones is beautiful and everyone is having a good time.

Fun, and sets up exciting things for the MCU. Croki is the best.

I adore Yelena. The plot is…less good.

Oof, that epilogue.

I think about Lily James singing Andante Andante every week.
