    La Jetée 1962

    ★★★★★ Watched 04 Jan 2025

    Innovative, imaginative, inspiring. A moving picture made up of still images that conjure so much by whittling down the cinematic toolbox and focusing exclusively on image, narration, sound, and editing. A single electric humming sound and a stock photo of underground summons up an entire “kingdom of rats”, a post-apocalyptic existence eked out subterranean. All of Chris Marker’s multi-hyphenate talents come to bear here. So well edited and paced that it almost causes your brain to hallucinate movement; to fill…

    “Buy and Be Happy”
    What a debut vision from a young director! The circuitry of Star Wars runs through Lucas’ brave new world. Sure, almost the entire script owes almost everything to more famous dystopian and sci-fi stories that came before, but it’s such a bold visual language all the same. Lucas presents a seriously realized world full of unserious fun. This guy’s got jokes! So much clunky, clumsy tech that injects an extra dose of life and humor into…

    A perfect quote to sum up what this movie is riding on. Crowley bets everything on our investment in the heteronormative relationship escalator—that we’ll swoon, gasp, and cry based on the standard roadside mile markers of Heterosexual Relationships. She has Cancer! She can’t have kids! She chooses Family over a fulfilling career! Boo-fucking-hoo. 

    Instead of being the sobfest it dreams itself to be, We Live in Time is a big old…

    Tim and Toni's Guide To Couple's Massage 2024

    Watched 26 Jun 2024

    The evolution of Tim Heidecker continues, and the tele-huckster’s pulse has never been more under his thumb than now; I could not dream up a more perfect follow-up to last season’s corporate #riseandgrind podcast punditry than this televised soporific makeup sex masked in pseudo-New Age appropriation-cum-bastardization snake oil. Nothing more fitting of the zeitgeist than monetizing a couple’s retreat, than turning a sloppy romantic reunion into a slick-sleazy profiteering corporate merger. Low brow public access mockery come full circle into…
