    Phoenix 2014

    ★★★★★ Watched 29 Aug 2023

    There’s a scene at the beginning of Christian Petzold’s Undine in which Paula Beer, as the titular character, gives a tour through a scale model of Berlin and its various architectural intricacies. You can sense just the slightest bit of disdain in her voice as she speaks of the Berliner Schloss, how it was damaged during the Second World War and ultimately destroyed by the DDR, and specifically, how it’s been meticulously reconstructed after the German reunification as if none of…

    there’s a lot i admire in david lynch’ work, but one of the themes i’ve appreciated the most in everything that i’ve seen from him so far is how he treats america’s misplaced fears of the unknown – the other, the intruder, the guy that flirts with your wife or the many grisly, bordering on supernatural ways a teen girl could be murdered. he touches upon it all, only…

    The Apprentice 2024

    ★★★★ Watched 20 May 2024

    I will thank god every single day for the rest of my life that they didn’t get Adam McKay to direct this and also I sincerely apologize to Sebastian Stan I was not familiar with your game

    EDIT: I think the strongest aspect of The Apprentice is how it shows Trump as a gleeful vessel for other people’s (more cunning) evils. This doesn’t mean that Abbasi absolves him in any way. His Trump is more than happy to be kneaded…
