Just watched Vengeance (B.J. Novak). Some neat ideas. I was often intrigued, enticed, but ultimately there just isn't enough meat on the bone for me. Maybe it would've benefited from someone more charismatic in the lead role. 6.9/10 Whataburgers.

I don't have any feelings about the restaurant. I only used it because it's a thing in the movie.

I see.

Whataburger is delightful. It's been a minute since I've eaten there, but it's great.

I’ll admit the story is really thin, and the cinematography is a bit glossy or cartoonish. Still rather enjoyable.

Banshees of Inisherin. I liked it. Very sweet and poignant. I'd still put it below Seven Psychopaths and In Bruges, but above Three Billboards

That's my favorite movie of his by quite a margin.

I have to think about whether I'd call it "pandering" but yeah that movie has a lot of problems
