This week's Critical Theory topic is Queer Theory. In a paragraph, Judith Butler is criticizing Luce Irigaray to the point of sounding like a pro wrestling promo.

Kids, philosophy can be fun. πŸ“š

A β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… review of They Live by Night (1948) The most romantic noir I've ever watched. And romance in noir is inherently tragic, so it's also the most tragic noir. Classic stuff!

A β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… review of Predator: Badlands (2025) Dan Trachtenberg can make 10 more Predator movies, and they'll still be better than most pop culture franchises. He loves Predator, and he knows how to create a fun and atmospheric experience.

This time is from the point of view of a Predator. And it's badass!

A β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… review of Sentimental Value (2025) Joachim Trier is letting us know that he dislikes petit bourgeois actresses, IKEA furniture, and probably also dislikes Bergman. Well-written film, btw.

A β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜… review of Die My Love (2025) Lynne Ramsay does a great job drawing a thin line (often invisible tbh) about what is and isn't real. And that's what depression and self-loathing feel like. We can't help but start wondering what is ...

A β˜…β˜…β˜… review of Godzilla vs. Megaguirus (2000) This film looks like a mockbuster, Godzilla looks like a bootleg toy, and I still won't understand the negative reviews. This is in the "so bad it's good" category.
