Happy 8th birthday to The Last Jedi, the most “it’s just ok” movie to ever produce the most insane discourse on both side of the spectrum. It’s genuinely not worth any of it lol

My goat

The farming sequences in REBEL MOON: some of the most gorgeous filmmaking sequences of the decade. Soulfully beautiful. Makes you believe in the power of cinema as art. Makes me believe in the human spirit against the forces trying to strip our humanity from us. Love these movies

Holy shit dawg, this is a motherfucking movie right here. Probably the exact wrong time for it to be released (if there ever is a right time), but as a cops and gangsters yarn about the circularity of the drug trade at the border, this shit is just really well done.

Good movie, about an idiot being an idiot and watching his life unravel because of his own stupidity. Disaffected (white) masculinity lashing out, snowballing into a farcical comedy of ineffectual nothingness. A man stands for nothing beyond himself and finds the emptiness within

Corey Yuen understood better than anyone the simple fact that there is nothing cooler in the world than a woman with a sword (or a gun) placed in her hands, and I thank him for his contributions to the art of cinema 🙏🏾 (Still the best videogame movie btw)!

Every time the new Springsteen movie shows Jeremy Allen White staring into nothingness contemplating his life:

In my Zhang Yimou era

Entire time I’m thinking “this ain’t gonna end well this ain’t gonna end well” and uh, let me tell you, it did not lol. A gorgeously mapped tragedy baked in deep red and golden hues. Gong Li one of the greatest ever (and that kid is a sociopath but I get it)

Fantastic Four: First Steps example #400 of giant battles being less dynamic and more run of the mill yawn-inducing if the city has already been evacuated. Matt Shankman and Marvel ain’t got that dawg in them unfortunately (also… complete waste of Julia Garner’s talents lol)

Serious question… is the reason they don’t let Johnny be a charming womanizer in this because of woke? Instead they chose to remove his personality altogether just to be safe lol (bad movie btw. Charmless, weightless dreck with no ambition. Satisfied with being good enough. Thoughtless and stupid)

Yup, will love it. Nothing cooler than a woman clearing out a room full of goons where by the end she’s covered in blood

Help Hala Rise Again chuffed.org/project/1482...

🐐

Mélanie Laurent… one of the best directors that nobody talks about. And this is one of the most joyfully delightful pictures of the 2020s. Will make you laugh then cry then laugh again, beautiful stuff

123. Yi Yi (2000) dir. Edward Yang

This movie ends on a conversation between hero and villain, and it broke my heart open (again). God, this is such a beautiful movie lol

Joey Bada$$ dropping Islamic bars on the new album

The way Daniel Sampere draws Wonder Woman… this is the new standard lol (and Tom King is killing it on the writing side, great book)

Drafted two TEs in fantasy before drafting a single receiver… I’m either a genius or a dumbass. Only time will tell

A howling wind haunting a crumbling village with smoky corridors and alleyways as a creeping doom sets in. A melancholic ghost story rooted in the tragedies that death leaves behind. Cinematically exhilarating, but deeply sorrowful in its emotional architecture

Denzel dropping old man gems on our heads through his work as an artist is way more interesting and fun than when Tom Cruise does it lol

The best comic book movie of the year btw, forget all that other shit

Gonna be honest… this is like, maybe my favorite movie of the year lol. MJ Bassett knows the power of a sick ass hero shot, and she hooks Matilda the fuck up. There’s a moment where she walks into the colosseum in her new armor, and it was so sick that I nearly burst into tears

Black Adam… lowkey a retroactive rebuke of the entire ethos of James Gunn’s Superman, and it rules

I love how in Black Adam, a little kid gets kidnapped, and instead of going to save him right away, Black Adam and Hawkman pause for five minutes to have a boxing match, and it’s delightful

Caught Black Adam on TV again. This is real hoops right here

Every day I’m tempted to throw on one of the two Rebel Moon directors cuts, and every day I’m dissuaded by the 3+ hour runtime… one day, I will make it back to my beloved 🙏🏾

Listening to some classic Eminem for the first time in a minute… and uh, he’s still one of the greatest ever to me lol. SSLP through Eminem Show + Relapse got him certified

Sick movie. A very clear and obvious riff on The Searchers, but a good one, with striking images in a barren western landscape and sadistic violence edging on nihilism, but I think the ending saves it from completely consuming itself in bad vibes. 3rd act is incredible

Need to get Thunderbolts outta the picture, it’s ruining the vibe (also excellent last few days watching cinema)

Watching a Stefano Sollima movie always gives me the dopamine hit I need, recalibrating my brain to help me keep going. Just a perfectly calibrated powder keg crime epic about the fall of Rome. My goat

Real

The Flash - Superman race in this is like one of the greatest single issues of a comic I’ve ever read lol, just beautiful. I need Tom King to write more Superman, this dude gets it

Why’d the ending of this almost make me cry dawg 💀💀💀 I’m getting soft in my old age (sick movie, every punch sounds like John Wick striking the punching bag to open up JW4, incredible stuff. And makes expert use of a chainsaw)

I think Kensuke Sonomura is my favorite director of fight scenes… ever? Neck and neck between him and Corey Yuen. But yo, this shit is amazing lol. Action legitimately left me in awe, I don’t know how it was even possible to choreograph or film it. Couldn’t believe my eyes

Few weeks back into reading comics, and like… the movie adaptations will simply never be this cool lol. It’s not possible, and even if it was, the people making this shit simply aren’t creative enough to do what needs to be done. I’m happy comics can give me my superhero fix 🙏🏾

Tom King & Daniel Sampere Wonder Woman dawg… shit is making me cry. Beautiful stuff

Watched the Avatar trailer on my TV and started crying lol, it’s so beautiful 🥹

Avatar is the greatest sci-fi/Fantasy franchise we’ve ever seen and it’s time to accept fate rather than fight against it

Tbh, been pretty cool to see James Cameron return after a decade-plus and remind everyone that he is the best at this. Dude returned and instantly reminded you that all these other blockbuster filmmakers who popped up in his absence are trash by comparison. There’s levels to this

(Superman 2025 is as messy, hypocritical, and thematically confused as Wonder Woman 1984, but we’re not ready for that conversation)

(Zack Snyder’s cinematography is awesome btw I will never turn against it 😤)

Watching the last hour of Rebel Moon part II again… and damn, what a picture lol. I think I’m addicted, nothing else looks or feels or sounds like this. Snyder in search of new images and new aesthetics. Why can’t his contemporaries be as bold

The more Wonder Woman comics I read, the more deeply annoyed I get that James Gunn is in charge of green-lighting her movie and shepherding it into the world… man, what did we do to deserve this

(Tom King’s Wonder Woman is pretty sick btw)

Rebel Moon: Nemesis comic is pretty cool btw (and looks gorgeous) shoutout Gail Simone and Federico Bertoni 🙏🏾

Nothing but bangers (We don’t talk about Always)

New Superman getting me back into my comics bag, shoutout James Gunn 🙏🏾

Cool book, Cliff Chiang knows ball
