read the introduction to Megan Greenwell's Bad Company yesterday. This Milton Friedman fella seems like a bad hombre.

you picked the Jameer Nelson photo just for me, right?

My parents will vote for him in 28 just the same 🙃

10 films to get to know me these movies aren't necessarily my favorites, but they do the best job of, as a collective, illustrating my personality

letterboxd.com/benq31/list/... note that these are not my 10 favorites! Don't accuse me of enjoying Batman (1989)

A 4.5-star Letterboxd review of The Naked Gun (2025) by benq31 It's easy for me to recall the last comedy I saw in a theater that made me laugh this hard: Hundreds of Beavers. It is much harder, however, to recall the last studio comedy that killed me as much as The Naked Gun did. Apart from being extremely funny--there are a million jokes and I'm pretty sure all of them landed????--there are other virtues here. The score by Lorne Balfe, the fact that it's lit and shot like an actual movie instead of an insurance commercial, the fact that the jokes are written instead of just being the result of filming the actors riffing ad nauseum until one of their riffs lands. Overall it's clear that the filmmakers and performers took a lot of care with the film, which is one reason why I believe it'll become a classic. It's too early to say studio comedies are back, but The Naked Gun offers hope for a brighter, funnier future at the multiplex.

a 3.5-star review of The Fantastic Four: First Steps on Letterboxd. Impressive visuals (grading on a curve for Marvel here but there’s far less uncanny CG sheen), lovely score, and a solid story about family. Far less action than you’d expect. Joseph Quinn should get a Razzie nom for this; absolutely awful in a role almost anyone could play. I do feel like this movie might grow on me on further viewings, but at first blush I am surprised (pleasantly or not; still have to suss that out) at how melancholy it is.

The greatest supervillain performances In chronological order. Details in notes.

A five-star review of Gun Crazy (1950) on Letterboxd Taut, sexy, dangerous, and beautiful, Gun Crazy is one for the ages.

It is grimly hilarious that the only actor who has the chops to play a goof-ass Batman in the Gunnverse is also playing the dark Batman in the Reevesverse. The most elegant solution is just to have Pattinson play two different Batmen.

A 4.5-star review of Superman (2025) on Letterboxd Overstuffed, poorly paced, and doesn't have a single memorable image--with apologies, but you can tell it's lensed by the guy responsible for The Flash--but damn does James Gunn's Superman ever have its heart in the right place. Your mileage may vary based on your tolerance for earnestness and Silver Age comic book bullshit, but this ticked almost every box for me. The brain is telling me this is a gentleman's 3.5-star film but the heart is telling me it's so much more. I mean, my God, the cast. Picking a favorite is damn near impossible but Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor has to be on the pantheon of comic-book villains, right? No, he won't win an Oscar or anything, but as someone who hasn't loved any live-action Luthor performance I thought he was essentially perfect in the role. Yeah, I'd watch another few of these.

This is a Big Five publisher too. Surely they could have commissioned something non-slop! They can afford it! Ugh

Asked Tbell for two Fire Sauce packets and received five Hot Sauce instead. So I guess that’s the conversion rate.

A Letterboxd review from benq31: “Extremely rad effects and score. Literally hooting and hollering as a flaming Christine charged after the head bully as the gas station erupted in the background. Immediately one of my favorite John Carpenters.”
