Everyone should go see Parasite. It finally came to a theater near me and it's an absolute masterpiece. Best Picture/Director imo

Netflix's Okja. Man I really wanted to like this. Fun premise. Great actors. Tilda Swinton being all Tilda. Wacky Jake Gyllenhaal (jeez that name is hard to spell right). But the movie just... wasn't... good. Not bad, per se. Just, so, so meh. I mean how do you make a movie about GMO'd super pigs in a dystopian future, get a bunch of fun actors, and arrive at such a muddled mess of a meh? Oh look, it's another Bong Joon-ho movie.

Netflix's How it Ends. Critics warned me this movie sucked. Critics were right. That's one for the critics.

I'm comfortable with my take. You're more intellectual than I am and I'm comfortable with that as well

I enjoyed A Futile and Stupid Gesture. It wasn't like amazing or anything, just enjoyable.

I felt like the dialogue in the film wasn't so much written by the writers... I got the sense that's how they actually talked/riffed with each other which made me sad b/c I was like crap I wouldn't last 2 minutes trying to keep up with these guys.

Star Wars Rise of Skywalker was horrible. abominable.

It wasn't as bad as Last Jedi. But yeah, it was a mess.

Watched Netflix's The Discovery. It was ok. Interesting premise, good actors, good ending. Kind of a slog though. At least 15 minutes too long.

I really liked Death of Stalin. very funny. Ianucci is so good.

I started watching In the Thick of it because I liked Veep so much. I don't get all the british political references but it's still very funny.

I've come around to believing that Last Jedi is the best of the new trilogy. It's not great, either, but 7 and 9 just feel like fan service.

Well, sure they were fan service. But that alone does not a bad movie make. Force Awakens was well packaged and enjoyable, which makes it the “best” of this trilogy to me. Last Jedi’s plotting was a train wreck. The final act was strong but that doesn’t redeem the movie.

If you like most Star Wars movies, you will probably also like Rise of Skywalker.
