Avengers: Endgame 2019
NOTES REVIEW:
- Clint’s sons put mayo on their hot dogs. They got what they deserved.- Really dig this low key opening of Tony and what’s her face hanging out, waiting to die.
- “I dream about you. Cuz it’s always you.” Killer line delivery. Downey needs to get some serious dramatic roles now that he’s done with the MCU. Dude’s got chops.
- “I lost the kid.” Jesus Christ, Downey.
- I love how emaciated they made Stark.…

Batman: The Long Halloween, Part One 2021
The animation is balls compared to what it could/should be, the dialogue is incredibly lame, the changes they made are either flat-out weird or cynically done to add more action and the amount of puns/illusions to Harvey becoming Two Face made me want to kill myself. Oh you’re of two minds on something Harvey?? Such clever writing!!

Watching this triggered a deeper think about something I’ve become a little obsessed with recently: the concept of what storytelling should be. And where I’ve settled on it for now is that we’ve become a little too concerned with thoughts and people explaining them to each other…

Fail Safe 1964
One of the many dumb rules I give myself when it comes to my Letterboxd is that I have to watch a film twice before giving it all five stars.
Today I am breaking that rule, because Fail Safe is flat out one of the greatest pieces of storytelling I have ever beared witness to. Holy fucking shit.

The Godfather Part III 1990
The Death of Michael Corleone
New cut, same problems. Sofia isn’t great and it needed Tom Hagen in the story. Fix those things and the coda likely would have been a bigger success. As is, it works fine.

Guns Akimbo 2019
It’s Scott Pilgrim, but stupid.
Daniel Radcliffe is legitimately great tho. Gotta support my man.
