i like The Bear a lot but if i lived in Chicago and my local sandwich place got replaced by a restaurant where you pay 37 dollars for a plate with two bites of fish and a drizzle of sauce on it i’d be pissed
it’s really hilarious that in Avengers: Endgame, 4 billion people instantaneously dying has seemingly little to no impact on the way the world functions beyond making some people very sad
i feel like some amount of Breaking Bad's success is attributable to achieving a level of character design that is usually impossible in live-action with Walt
why does Francesca Scorsese put those voice filters on the videos of her dad. he was blessed with one of the greatest speaking voices ever and she makes him sound like a chipmunk :/
i hate it when people are like “if you claim you actually like Citizen Kane you’re lying” as if it’s not a super entertaining and often really funny movie
Saltburn writes its own review in the scene where Rosamund Pike is talking about Carey Mulligan and she’s like “people think she’s interesting because she’s beautiful and stylish, but there’s nothing going on underneath.”

Rewatched Chinatown... final scene's rep should have less to do with easy descriptors like "cynical" or that catchy line and more that the expression on Katherine's face as John Huston pulls her into the black of night is, perhaps, the most satanic image ever achieved in cinema.
every song off Stop Making Sense is better than the album version except for This Must Be The Place, where both versions are tied for the most alchemically perfect song ever created
less than 50 pages into Blood Meridian the god McCarthy compares the sun to a penis in one of the greatest, most genuinely beautiful sentences i have ever read.
weird that the Venn diagram of people who are obsessed with "accuracy" and "plot holes" and people who love Breaking Bad has so much overlap. the show's prestige-y reputation has overshadowed how batshit it is.
not to be all “let people enjoy things” but why are you mad about this. why is people listening to music they like at their wedding so annoying to you? look inward
