Never Mind the Bollocks - Sex Pistols
I hate the Sex Pistols, the worst kind of performative nonsense, no real punk ethos beyond the surface, and a completely constructed persona.
Couple of fun pop songs though. God Save the Queen etc

I mostly listen to hip hop for the beats, because I struggle to parse lyrics on first listen, and the beats here are too stripped back for my taste. Didn't grab me.

Deliver Me From Nowhere sucks.
Dramatically inert from start to finish, it just doesn't find a way to make Springsteen interesting and that's impressive.
Also, JAW needs to fire his agent, cus this is just Carmy again. He's willingly pigeonholing himself.

The rationalists are silly, terminally online dipshits who've just reinvented Calvinism. The problem with AI is not some all-knowing God, it's that it will destroy the economy and then blue screen like the vaporware bullshit it always was.

Showed my wife Now You See Me in prep for the 3rd coming out, and while it's mostly just super dumb fun, Dave Francos magician fight scene is legit great choreography and editing. Always love when an otherwise unremarkable movie has some greatness hidden in it.

A fave childhood VHS, I've not seen The Frighteners in 20 years, and I'm delighted to report it's an masterpiece of pop filmmaking.
It's so deeply sad, yet so funny, ideal for MJF. The mystery is perfectly satisfying, if a little obvious.

#Bugonia (again)
My issues remain. It's a 5 star thriller, with a big swing ending that I deeply respect, but don't *feel*, and that undermines what comes before in my mind.
Yorgos remains the most excruciatingly talented fuck however.

I missed Ballad of a Small Player at LFF, and I'm kinda glad I did.
It looks and sounds wonderful, but the script honestly barely exists. This is a movie about nothing at all.
A shame.

Good Fortune is the smuggest movie I've seen in feckin time. Richies telling other rich people what we all already know as though it's a revelation, and patting themselves on the back.
Aziz is always terrible, but particularly here.
There's not a single joke.
Worst of the year.

OUATIH is still my favourite Tarantino. How did he manage to make me nostalgic for an era I didn't live through and have no real interest in?
It's got the most enjoyable ultra violence in cinema, because who doesn't love the brutalizing of literal baby killers?
His best soundtrack.

Happy Gilmore 2 is better than it has any right to be.
Charming as shit when it focuses on the family, goofy as all hell when it focuses on the plot, and insufferable in its relentless self referential nonsense.
It's an admirable revival of 90s comedy nonsense.

The Mastermind is a weird offering.
An entertaining 20 minute heist, followed by 70 of an entirely unthrilling time on the run.
It's lovely to look at, it's swiss watchly constructed, but I'm sad to say I drifted off for 5 minutes (it was a warm cinema!)
Great jazz score.

I kinda hated Die My Love.
Laurence now has a pattern of playing mental illness incredibly poorly, in addition to all the other poor performances she's capable of (I'm not a fan)
It's an 'and then' movie, repetitive sequences that border on offensive, again and again.

Well that's charming as shit.
Tatum is an interesting actor, endlessly handsome and charming, but with clinical dumbface. This is the perfect vehicle for that cocktail.
It's a really touching love story, Dunst is great as ever, and its a weirdly poignant period piece

Good Boy is a great technical achievement, Indy is a genuinely effecting main character and that's impressive.
As a movie it's just ok. It's not really very frightening, I don't know or care about the human characters, and the lore is kinda dull.

My favourite of the fest so far: Black Rabbit, White Rabbit is so fucking dense I barely understand it.
Like if Abed from Community made a David Lynch film after mainlining 8 1/2, its batshit, wryly funny, bizarre, and loving.
Also the director gave me a hug on his way out.
