Nosferatu (two thousand and twenty four). Just as I expected, this movie quickly burrowed its way underneath my skin. And into my heart, devouring my soul. Just like with The VVitch, which I don't appreciate nearly as much as this, but love, subtitles are absolutely crucial. The language is so ancient it's hard to recognize the words in my brain. And I miss crucial plot details. Needless to say I watched it on my computer today and then again halfway through with subtitles. Looking forward to watching it again tomorrow completely with subtitles.
Hundreds of Beavers. I was told this was like a "live-action Looney Tunes" and I definitely see that's what they were aiming at but the gags seemed very predictable and tired. Pretty lame.
Conclave. I really enjoyed this, loved how pulpy it felt. The easy pleasures of a tawdry airport paperback. Great performances. Cool sets.

They need to release Coyote v. ACME. John Cena said it is his favorite thing he's ever done and very sad it hasn't been released.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Really elegantly made, I appreciate several sequences, but the writing! A bunch of very abrupt and under-developed nonsense. Vacillates between fun and annoying one too many times, ends up in the annoying side

I can't remember which David Lynch movies I haven't seen. Maybe I should finish up Twin Peaks. I think I only saw the first season, which I loved, but I heard the second season wasn't great, so I didn't watch so as not to ruin it.
