Lesbian dogwood
Maybe life is ok sometimes. Maybe it sucks. It will be fun to experience at least and to share it with my friends

Mulholland Drive
Actress lesbian jealousy melodrama. I'm not the first one to describe Lynch movies as "dreamlike" but it locks you into a state for the whole thing. It's so sad I love the twist

Operation Avalanche
Some camera nerds get roped into faking the moon landing and become part of the conspiracy itself. It's also rlly well shot bc they're camera nerds irl
|
|
House (1977)
Funky old japanese horror movie about a group of friends going to spend some time at an aunt's house. The lighting and special effects give it a very charming vibe
|
|
Pink Flamingos
Team rocket attempts to become grosser than the self-proclaimed filthiest woman to exist. I'm glad this exists.

|
Beyond the valley of the dolls
Apparently a spoof of a bunch of various genres of the era. Kinda makes it's own sorta campy ironic unironic story with no unflawed characters. It's fun

|
Jennifer's body
2009 tumblr classic. Feels a lot more like modern horror movies compared to the usual stuff I watch
|
|
Duel
Lots of subtext about inadequacy and ego and fate and such. I didn't expect 90 minutes of someone being chased by a truck to be this gripping
|
|
Thomas and the Magic Railroad
Some of the Diesel scenes unironically have the pacing of a nightmare. The plot is about a man and his stoner cousin running out of their "magic gold dust" and a dude that really wants to fuck a train
|
|
Inland Empire
Shot on a dvcam, basic digital effects and insane shots and pacing. Reminds me a lot of perfect blue but if I shot it in high school and it making even less sense. I think if David tried to make another movie they wouldn't let him
|
|
Who Framed Roger Rabbit
You know about this movie. I wish there was more stuff made that blended 2d and 3d, they pushed a lot of technology with this movie and it kinda ended here besides like cool world
|
|
The AVGN Movie
Art? Encapsulates nerd culture. Unsure of how self aware it is but it did predict James selling out. Spoiler alert but it's like 1/3 a mecha-kaiju as well
|
|
Kickassia
Doug invades a micronation for real. Watched this the day after the AVGN Movie. Featuring a bunch of internet reviewers. The critic is self critical and their invasion falls apart pretty fast. Actually entertaining even though I don't know any of these people. They had fun at the time and it's nice that people do make projects like this
|
|
The Dirties
Matt in The Dirties the exact kinda character as in Operation Avalanche and Nirvana the Band the Show but instead of trying to get into the rivoli or faking the moon landing they're planning a school shooting. Meant to portray the naive mentality of some kids
|
|
Playtime
If The Holy Mountain is showing the evils in human systems, this is showing them with a smiley face :) The hustle and bustle never stops. Playtime for your eyes. and there were a couple comedic moments that really got me good
|
|
Bad Taste
Made by the same person that directed all the Lord of the Rings movies. It's a Rambo-style movie about some aliens that have come to earth to collect humans as food for their galactic fast food chain
|
|
|
Metropolis
One of the central themes is about flaunting around shows of wealth in projects to disguise corruption and bad intentions. But itself is a massive paumpous display of animation power. Like there's some things of note here but I can't be alone about this part
|
|
Mechanical Violator Hakaider
Found while looking at the wikipedia article for the yamaha Vmax. Lots of bike shots. Unique designs and the stop motion parts are pretty cool. Pretty basic antiauthoritarianism story but with an antihero protag
|
|
Blackberry
Very good filmmaking from Matt as usual, but it does exaggerate everything quite a bit, and the main characters aren't rlly true to life. But as someone that was very young when Blackberry was kinda big, it was neat to learn a bit about the technological trends at play
|
|
Party 7
The title sequence is animated by the same person that made Aeon Flux, and directed by someone that worked on the screenplay for Redline. I like the concept of gradually more people meeting in a hotel room, ensuing hijinx, but a lot of the jokes are kinda boring
|
|
|
Dragonball Evolution
I know nothing about dragonball but I'm treating everything in this as canon. It's extremely generic but the very-2010 cg effects were nice for the soul to see. It's also funny to see everyone call this guy Goku
|
|
Wicked City
Studio Madhouse. The animation is beautiful but the plot is of a cheezy 80s cop B movie. Because this is a cheezy 80s cop B movie. Someone I know described this as "penis monsters" I don't remember any of the plot
|
|
The Fifth Element
A little cheezy but also incredibly stylized? Any interesting character was written to make the manly-man main man appear more manly. He's kinda boring. The main enemy is a ball of evil. The opera part is the best scene and everyone knows it
|
|
Wild Wild West
It's unique ig. But everything kinda just falls flat and feels like a "will smith does stuff" movie
