i really dislike how baked into our culture it is that if you apologize you're just automatically forgiven and people are pressured to go along with it. any apology or responsibility worth its salt should come with the possibility that nobody fucking cares

101. Predestination (2014), directed by Michael and Peter Spierig, first time viewing

Being very familiar with the source material and recognizing it pretty quickly took a little wind out of the movie's sails, just because I knew where it was going the whole time, but a fun adaptation nonetheless

if i had to be my 13-year-old self for fuckin' 14 years i'd be going through it too

the curse of evangelion is that we're all teenagers forever now THANKS NERDS bsky.app/profile/did:...

100. Evangelion 3.0: You Can (Not) Redo (2012), directed by Hideaki Anno, Kazuya Tsurumaki, Mahiro Maeda, and Masayuki, rewatch

As expected, this hit a lot more for me during this rewatch. The big time skip works super well to introduce this disorientation and sense of stasis that drives everything

that's more or less how I felt, though it's not really a bad thing since there are tons of movies targeted to me anyway

99. Conclave (2024), directed by Edward Berger, first time viewing

i do love some gossipy, backstabbing catholics, even though the movie gets a little too Prestige TV for me by the end

anime

98. Pulp Fiction (1994), directed by Quentin Tarantino, rewatch

seeing this in the theater for the first time was an amazing experience, really felt like experiencing it for the first time again and being gripped by the surprising places the story goes

this seems like a problem

do you think you could drink a 12-ounce can of soda of your choosing every day for a week for 76 million dollars? the catch is that during that week, you’re not allowed to travel to columbus, georgia unless you already had plans to or you just want to

i'm getting like $60 back but that just means that fucking leech and his soulless cronies used more of my money for his bullshit throughout the year than he should have

sure wish i could just say No to filing my taxes until represented by a government that doesn't make me want to shrivel up and die thinking about literally every policy they want to implement

97. Iron Angels 3 (1989), directed by Teresa Woo San, first time viewing

Mixed feelings.. plot is looser than ever, but there's more action than 2 and the quality is still good... but Moon Lee takes a HUGE backseat in the finale. I don't watch Girls With Guns movies for Guys With Guns. Come on now.

Me when the teens use a Thomas Guide while driving in Clueless

I can easily believe that, it definitely has that spirit to it!

96. The Church (1989), directed by Michele Soavi, first time viewing

1980s Italian horror is some of the most reliably bonkers movie horror

poster for reba mcentire’s THE HAMMER. a photo of mcentire is cut out and layered over some dark clouds. a stock image of a hand gripping a judge’s gavel is layered on top of hers to give the impression that she is holding it. the illusion is not convincing

check out this official key art for reba mcentire’s lifetime original movie The Hammer

all-timer sports graphic dropped

95. The Northman (2022), directed by Robert Eggers, first time viewing

how you gonna have bjork in your movie looking like this and have her in it for just one scene? and NOT interacting with fortune telling jester willem dafoe????

suspicious timing

94. Iron Angels 2 (1988), directed by Teresa Woo San, first time viewing

Slower to get going than the first and a less compelling villain, but the second half almost meets the heights of the first movie.

It doesn't even look scratched or anything like that, either...

album cover for a band called GOITSE

did a quadruple take

just seeing Random Curiosity aged me a decade

i still really enjoy this remixed, weird alternate dimension evangelion a whole bunch and am looking forward to rewatching the third one! i vaguely remember not liking it as much as the others, but i also suspect my opinion is wrongheaded (mostly because i do not remember specifics)
