Gone Baby Gone. I liked it up to the point where they

. I didn't need to see that shit. I'm still disturbed by it the next day. I saw the end reveal coming but it did take me a little longer than most movies to figure out or at least to be sure that's where it was going which was nice.

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 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.

What hangups do you have with Whataburger?

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.

Oz: The Great and the Powerful

I enjoyed this back in 2013. Let’s see how it goes this time.

I couldn't finish that movie I thought it was so bad

The first 20 minutes have been a lot of fun.

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

The finish is good.

I actually didn't hate that one.

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

We started this one last night. I feel the same. It's very sweet.

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
