    I Saw the TV Glow 2024

    ★★★★★ Watched 11 May 2024

    I don’t often feel like I have a connection to a text before I watch or read it. But I can recall having similar somewhat telepathic connections to the Green Knight and Everything Everywhere All At Once, before finally seeing them in theaters for the first time. It might not be quite telepathic but more of an attraction or relationship to the text that draws me in before I actually experience it. And all three of these counts, I’ve felt…

    Everything Everywhere All at Once 2022

    ★★★★★ Watched 02 Apr 2022 2

    Everything Everywhere All At Once is everything I hoped it would be and more which is astonishing because I actually had really high expectations going into it. 

    It arrives at a perfect moment in my life. I laughed, I cried, I loved it from start to finish.

    The stop motion rock scene reveals the truly absurd nature of what we were doing: watching as light particles dance across a screen in rapid succession to create the illusion of movement while shoveling…
