Happy Pride to the guy who wants to bang Samnang

Comes on strong and it is visually dazzling, but overall this is just way too busy with lots of extremely different ideas at once.

Bono: Stories of Surrender

Honestly, maybe it's a good thing that Andrew Dominik has been banished to the minimalist musician soliloquy jail.

This would have benefited from getting even further away from Succession. That was a satire that could take itself seriously. So, when you have something this farcical which takes itself too seriously, you just end up dulling all the edges.

Make a silly movie that's also smart, not a smart movie that's also silly... A few of the sight gags got me but that was about it.

As I suspected, a lot better on a rewatch. I had a different relationship to its tension and structure so all the setups and payoffs were much more satisfying. I like how Wes is writing like a novelist lately. It makes me feel more cultured. 🧐

I feeling that the MCU had already gone too far with the crossovers in 2012 lol. You expect me to watch four mediocre movies to understand one good one? Little did I know...
