(movie had me so fucked up had to cry about it to my partner and forgot to give it a rating; and here we go 1.5 months later)
i love it? (probably... painfully)
(x tier? idfk)
10/10
nice-ass camera work during the first robbery
nice-ass vibe during the graduation party
interesting choice making the dudes so frightening; like, they had some solid “hard” vibes going on, monstrous even... very interesting 🤔
really well done #NotAllCops shit; still ACAB tho

Part of our February series "Black History Sounds Like... 90's Film Edition"

fucked up what it came down to for her regarding the advance
both slaps were justified, but he'll never understand why
Latifah's lover was either written that way or just couldn't act well; either way, she played the roll very well
wait, was she (the actor) mute? 🤔
Latifah's character is trans, isn't she?
definitely a short-sighted hot head
had an interesting perspective, though; on belonging in the hood and all
methinks the problem was that she failed to consider other options (e.g.: leave the damn country)
Moderate Spoilers
Latifah turning around during gave strong lashing vibes
like, no way that wasn't intentional... these directors and/or writers be Black
missa gon' check later; 'cause fuck they really did that shit
the director is, and the two writers probably are considering their filmography
killed by the system
was he lying about the money or no? most likely, but he lied too well
then again, does he always keep a revolver under the pillow when at a motel? 🤔
shooting him might've been the right call tbh; no tellin' what he intended or what would've gone down
yeah~, surely he would've told 'em they were jobless
"Don't be greedy." 😭
yeah, she teared up after romance night because it was just another trade off like with the check; significantly better, sure, but it ain't balanced and it sure as hell ain't hers
this movie's violently feminist
Major Spoilers
BRUH~
I honestly needed to baby cry with my head in somebody's lap after that. 😢
Spent most of the movie tense af knowing what was coming. And hard cried thrice. Fuck, this movie was better than I remember. Why dafuq don't I ever hear about it? 🤔
the sad ending would be the other fucker never jumping in and they all go to prison
this was the fucked ending
three people died, somebody lost their lover, a child lost their mother, and somebody lost three friends
i'm hurting myself again, time to change the topic
movie night~
for what it is, it's good-ish
has some problematic bs going on with the indigenous matters (my god)
and then there's the out of freaking nowhere, but of course it's there, "romance"
Y'all know that 'White savior’ shit people complained about with Avatar (2009)?
I'm the worst one. -this movie
da employer yelled his damn lines; dafuq
dude at the bar was good with his lines (and probably in theatre)
meh
no regrets watching this since i did while laughing with two others
$500 budget iirc, and it's better with that context
why dafuq does this have a 5.3/10 on IMDB?
glad i finally watched it
heard the purple-haired lady (Megan Rapinoe)'s interview with Terry Gross on Fresh Air the year it released, but wasn't interested enough in watching it and decided to just run with everything she said about the (sexist-ass) matter
Minor Spoilers
it may not have a happy ending, but atleast things took an upturn last year:
As a result of the equal pay agreement forged earlier this year between the United States Soccer Federation (USSF), the United States Women’s National Team Players Association (USWNTPA) and the United States National Soccer Team Players Association (USNSTPA), the men and women’s teams split all World Cup earnings.
-United States Women’s National Team earns more money from men’s World Cup than its previous two women’s tournaments
as for the documentary, the first half was some good shit; nice production values and whatnot
the second half is when it just got real
and then slightly depressing (i already knew about the following year's equal pay agreement, so it didn't hit as hard fortunately/unfortunately) 😐
lots of goal posts, lots of bs, lots of sexism; what's new?
is missa gonna start watching women's soccer? 🤔
really liked Megan's outfits and that one sista's locs
real talk, there was something athletically hot about that one lady (Brandi Chastain) taking her shirt off (surprisingly quickly) after winning the 1999 world cup; all the YouTube videos I've seen underselling it, btw
1999 WOMEN'S WORLD CUP FINAL: USA 0-0 China PR (5-4 PSO) - FIFA
USA v China PR | 1999 FIFA Women's World Cup Final | Full Match (timestamped) - FIFA
Brandi Chastain: Her Historic 1999 World Cup Kick - Wall Street Journal

real talk, this had me longing to actually experience watching a soccer match in a crowd... but dat pandini tho 😭

i like it (high tier) or i really like it (low tier) 🤔
10/10
dat end credits track tho
glad i was in the mood to give this neon-looking shit a chance out of the blue
actually wanted to watch The Last of Us, but fuck it
glad i saw it in VR even with the headset hitting my chair 🙄
a "wow, really? lul" scene with the finger-gun had me fully realizing what i was watching; and me liked it
yeah~ i really like it (low tier)
it earned its place as the type of movie that it is; some action-wick-neon shit
but with a surprisingly interesting story, though
and i was so there for the Western slander
"gaijin foreigner" confused dafuq outta me
that loosing it scene where she snapped wasn't well done for what they were trying to get across, but I'm not sure how it could've been done better tbh 🤷🏿♂️
visually, something about her reminds me of Joy from Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022); probably because of James Somerton's The Queer Nihilism of Joy video... that i watched only a few hours prior 🤔
The Intimate List (le car ride)
Minor Spoilers
when she cut her hair off, i was immediately reminded of the The Rhythm Section (2020); seeing its poster on a site shortly before likely played a hand, though
really had to ask myself "is there some lesbian shit going on here?" at one or two points early on during their getting along
she looked like a straight up zombie, though, fo'real
interesting seeing the kind of top her character is (hands)
real talk, though? i'm all for more female-centered action movies
fuck it; still need to see Atomic Blonde (2017)
curious to know if there is one that's entirely female-centered, though; like, with no consideration to what les males would think/want 🤔
not curious enough to go search, though
Moderate Spoilers
wasn't expecting the ending to hit me like that
shit, just remembered i didn't realize that wasn't the end when the apparent final scene happened
was actually expecting a dark ending; well done
still not sure how dafuq they were gonna force her to go along with everything (i guess), but whatevs
movie night~
quite an experience
holy shit
watch it with others
maybe with drinks
and pizza
This is Uganda!
genuinely impressed by their performances
and da fightin'; bruh
silly as hell sometimes
and serious
and silly again
and then the ending...
We watch Wakiliwood!
shit was great
need to rewatch someday
it's on YouTube, btw
i fucking hate it
10/10
hope to never see it again
this shit was fucked
like a good "fucked"
glad i heard about it on Super Eyepatch Wolf's My Favorite Things Holiday Special 2022 video [1 minor spoiler; but also 2 (jump) scare spoilers for Insidious (2010)] and that i knew so little, 'cause damn
fuck this shit
and fuck all that noise
i don't need this
glad i saw it though
and no, i ain't sayin' shit
go watch it

The Horror List
The Get Off Your Couch List (better with great sound and an immersive screen)
The Blind List (2/5)
The Family List (depending on your interpretation, of course)
The Dark List (no comment)
Top of 2023?
do not watch alone
do not watch at night
do not watch alone, but definitely turn off the lights
not for everybody, though, so make sure you’re okay with watching a relatively slow (genre spoiler:) blah blah analog horror blah blah
real talk, though, the trailer ( minor spoilers) won’t tell you much about what you’re getting into; recommendation: watch the Super Eyepatch Wolf video linked above instead and look no further into it
it's an experience
people into (and who care about) animal rights will get a lot more out of it
wisely quiet in a strange way 🤔
admittedly, my mind kept going elsewhere in terms of thoughts (mostly)
probs more of a me thing, though
like, the film was quite fitting for that with its… way of being (i guess)
would i watch it again? maybe
The Depression List (life)
(Minor Spoilers)
i feel little empathy for the animal killer
was probs just a job to him that he may have desperately needed, sure
but nonetheless
shit's a justifiable kill as far as I'm concerned
Audrey Hepburn was so beautified in this; damn, what the actual fuck?
more importantly, was that incest or what? i could've misunderstood the lines, but bruh
interesting relationship Kasandra had with him
quite affectionate and emotionally intimate
sad for both when the dude made her leave abruptly
like, damn, bruh
(Moderate Spoilers)
now that I think about it, was him leaving a good thing in the long-run?
like, staying at that sanctuary of sorts (i guess) clearly wasn't great for him and he definitely lived more after escaping
though the traumas came with that experience, as did the end, what kinda life would he have had staying at the farm?
dis some "to live or not to live" shit
i dig it
(Major Spoilers)
honestly didn't see the ending coming
in hindsight it was bound to happen eventually
mofo delayed the inevitable and got to experience more of human life especially before being forced out
trucker got slit for the disrespect methinks (to put it very simply); doubt it was a joke, but I'm not from there
i could've been a pianist :|
oh fucking well i guess
great shit
like, damn
like watching an unraveling or unwinding
dat end credits track tho
shit go hard
was an interesting trip to see pre-credits, but it makes since in hindsight
wonder what her forgetting where she came from meant, and what he put on the stand before walking away
interesting that things can get chopped up like that, but yeah
really interesting things going on beyond and around Tár
The Get Off Your Couch List (just for the sound, really)
The Blind List (1/5)
The Depression List (sex & gender)
(Minor Spoilers)
so Tár's a transman or are they just Petra's father in the household? 🤔
interesting to see it either way and rewatch methinks
the consequences of a transactional lifestyle
what was her wife's missed phone call about?
(Moderate Spoilers)
she undid herself in the end
bad habits and all
did she get her interview response from that recording? 🤔
why the tears?
Tár not recognizing the date as International Women's Day was a clear sign of her masculinity and maleness
she's definitely Petra's father in terms of identity, behavior, and lifestyle
doing all the things stereotypical of a male in power; like, damn
conversation with the old guy made more sense now; she was asking for advice (basically) on how to proceed and cover herself
dude's "I'm out of the game" was quite poignant in that regard, especially with him making sure his hangers were all facing the same direction
very effective way of handling the dude calling her out in private; should've stayed on that shit, but she was too aggressive and imposing in the moment
need to rewatch soon
just realized, this movie would make for interesting discussions from a... certain perspective? 🤔
nevermind the whole trans matter 😐
(Major Spoilers)
the bullying of the student was quite a foreshadow in regards to her end
fucked up that she took it so far as to coerce him into taking part in and playing Botch Bach's music (he was right)
to lose it all so easily
how she handled her assistant's emotional turmoil is what did it methinks; o'girl saw her way of things way too quickly, so i assumed it was a script/performance/direction matter
noice
was the assistant wrong, tho?
nah~
fuck Tár
her not recognizing a call for help led to two deaths
lady had bed soars for how long?
and why's the sister sent to "a facility"?
was she just being used as the only person helping mom, or did she lose it after?
the new one/meat played the game on her ass; called it
possibly (but doubtibly) shifted away after the case came out
i take it she was the one live recording her and saying shit
Tár didn't know about being replaced because she didn't have an assistant
interesting that Krista Tyler's ghost followed her; maybe she died before the movie even began? makes the most sense methinks
stopped noticing the 3D after awhile (again), but shit was great
no clue what the difference is between Real 3D and 3D, though
(Pre-Edit: https://www.amctheatres.com/reald-3d)
HFR was worth it last time, but mostly during the close-up action scenes
(Minor Spoilers)
ah, the first reunion makes more sense now that i actually bothered to count the mili-Navi; 12 of them got off that ship and 5 died during the first reunion; half-ish were lookout while they checked the area
o'dude called her out like that during first reunion to get her to reveal her location
(Moderate Spoilers)
so many little things in here: youngest son getting saved same way oldest did during the reunion (learned from dad), o'dude getting Spider outta the way before firing at Neytiri, o'dude starting a "because you weakend me" arc (moderate Arcane spoilers), "Let's get it done, then", both sons not listening to dad saving somebody in the end (Neytiri during reunion, dad after the boss fight)
oh, that end dual was basically Titanic (you know the scene) and The Revenant (end fight) in one; nice~
so Spider's gonna learn the way of water now? :3 this dude needs a Navi body, fo'real
did they take the tracker out of his mask or what? it's gonna come back to bite them eventually once he's out of the chain of islands
Post-Edit: Forgot to add 1) the tail grabbing from Spider in this one being similar to Jake’s from the first one and 2) birth mom (Kiri)’s log in the beginning preemptively foreshadowing whatever dafuq Dr. Garvin’s was researching; methinks they were both coming to the same conclusion
(Major Spoilers)
Neytiri definitely lost herself after the eldest's death and went into a controlled rage; like, she kinda shut down after Jake calmed her... was a bit disturbing if i imagine what that looked like from everyone else's perspective 🤔
eldest son's death, blood on the youngest's hands; just because he went out to save his friend (the outcast); das some guilt
it all worked out in the end, though (mostly), especially since both times the eldest told the youngest to call dad
i really like it (mid tier)
10/10
damn, this shit was intense
was not looking forward to the pinball scene as it progressed, and considered skipping ahead when it came
gotta wonder how realistic it all was, especially the scene
peer pressure's a mofo i guess, especially homophobia and (yep, i'm sayin' it) toxic masculinity
(Moderate Spoilers)
only one of the three i feel sympathy for is the third; dude got thoroughly pressured into that
would be interested in the psychological aftermath for him; like, surely he felt a way about it and wasn't the same after, right?
shit, the witness and victim need therapy aswell
(Major Spoilers)
as much as i like dark endings, i'm glad this was was fairly happy; like, seriously
i really like it (mid tier?)
10/10
was a full movie; nice
rewatching the first half of the first movie didn't feel necessary, but certain scenes did help me better understand moments in this one ("Let's get it done then.")
I do like how they laid enough things out for the 3rd movie, especially in regards to the virgin birth
seeing it in 3D HFR was worth it I guess; I wonder if some details would've been clearer or more detailed in 2D or "Real 3D"
only HFR movie I can compare it to is Gemini Man (2019), and this one was consistent for understandable reasons; looking forward to the next opportunity
this is a family movie; like, almost some Disney shit, fo'real; "Sullies stick together"
i dig it, though
in hindsight, I'm really glad the theater preview I saw barely spoiled anything (and I managed to forget most of it)
felt that "They die. Here. Today." line
interesting choice to make them Māori; called it once i saw dem face tats
(Minor Spoilers)
can imagine some people taking serious issue with the rehashing of sorts; having the Sargent return and all
but~ it works and makes complete sense
Jake was definitely fucking up as a father; like, fo'real; god damn
makes me wonder what his childhood and parents were like; i think we only hear him say a single thing about the matter in the intro to the first movie
"A father protects" is an interesting line and mentality; curious to see what they do with it for his character arc
nice moments showing parallels and similarities between the two families (e.g.: "one big disappointment", dude's wife basically saying "yeah, naw, I'm going", both husbands having difficulties with their wives when they met, etc.)
(Moderate Spoilers)
i actually was expecting Spider to inherit the Sargent’s Na'vi body or for them to eventually make him one, but I guess not? 🤷🏿♂️
Much better for everybody actuallythey should really remove the trackers from their aircraft; interesting nobody knew about them
funny how when it came to the kids, they did not give a fuck about his ass being outcast
(Major Spoilers)
his survival at the end actually brings hope for the future considering it was his "feral" kid who saved him; might create more humility in the dude like that other scene did ("This is wrong!")
wait, who's his mom again?
and who's his inevitable girlfriend's dad? seriously, dafuq, y'all? 🤔
what if Earth has a Great Mother too, but humans forgot how to (or just can't) connect to her? 🤔
dude lost his whole crew again; damn
Neytiri was losing herself in that end fight; curious to see what they'll do with her relationship with Spider in the sequel
interesting that he was primarily concerned with o'girl when Neytiri had her knife to his throat; nice fake-out, btw, damn
nice fake-out with almost losing Jake too
10 out of fucking 10
holy fucking shit balls
did i fucking love this movie? 🤔
fuck it; don't care
shit was great
a-freaking-mazing, even
holy fuck balls
i need more of this
now
put it in my fucking veins
so yeah
shit was pretty fucking good
a bloody rollercoaster of an experience, let's say
thank-fucking-you Jacob Geller for having that void of a beard in the first video i saw of yours
led to the timeline where I actually watched a Tollywood/Bollywood film (finally)
is this what missa been missin'?
my whole life?
or is this simply one of the greats?
mah ass gon' find out, i know that 👍🏿
played the (thank god it's stereotypically so) dance scenes a second time each time just to read the lyrics
watching the last one for a 3rd time while i type this >.>
y'all, this some pumped up shit
o'mah'god
wanted to fucking dance, this shit go so hard
glad i played Raji: An Ancient Epic already
wouldn't have understood the matter with the bow
well, i guess i only barely understand it; let's be honest
[i'm now watching the Desi Naach (nacho) dance for the 3rd time]
Naaacho nacho nacho nacho nacho nacho vidi naaacho!~
mofos did a great job with these dance scenes
and i appreciate seeing that one thick lady during the Desi Naach
so much plot happening in that scene; fo'real
love it
shit's like a spiritual/religious/praise scene in a Madea play... but fuckin' LIT!
they totally had a stand, btw
part of me is thinking we did something similar to the Nacho dance-off when we were kids, but the other part is like "nah, you wish, homie"
real talk, y'all, don't let nobody spoil the shit that happens in this beautiful experience
back to the bros, though
that was some heartfelt shit portrayed throughout
don't remember the last time i saw something like it tbh 🤔
Akhtar reminded me of Angry Joe in a few scenes, which was interesting
watched Hindi dub with English subtitles
need to see it in Telugu, though >.>
zee5.com, here i come (subs or not)
ah, should talk about the cartoonishly evil Euros 💀
well done
they played those roles well
and that's all I'm gonna say about that :3
starting to wonder the significance of some of the actors, especially the Euros
like, surely some are really famous and fill seats by being on the poster
oh shit, and Malli can act; gawd damn
love how the ladies were getting their dresses dirty and not giving a fuck
shit looks too fun
Just remembered (upon the umpteenth replay of Desi Naach), the drumming gave me Turn Down for What vibes, so I'm wondering if India inspired the video at all 🤔 Could've been vice versa actually
yeah, i'm pretty sure i fucking love it
The Favorites List
The Intimate List
The Blind List (1/5)
The Get Off Your Couch List
The Romance List (bromance)
Ram has some serious Jason Momoa vibes going on at a certain point
this whole movie: Dude wanna bro; Ladies wanna have fun
it's a good thing nobody was wearing heals at that part o.o
Seriously, I need to stop playing Desi Naacho on repeat so I can go to sleep. (found it on YouTube; don't you dare!) :x
Holy shit, nobody gets sexualized at all
except for the Ram (Raju) & Akhtar (Bheem)
sweet
y'all, i just realized that 3 hours flew by like 2 while watching this
went in knowing nothing btw; highly recommend knowing very little
(Moderate Spoilers)
love the portrayal of real life superheros (basically)
like, what if Superman was Indian and just had an unreasonable amount of super-strength
that's these two mofos (with the combat skills of Batman and Green Arrow)
glad i didn't realize while watching that there wouldn't be a third guy; Ram played his villain role well, so the reveal was a nice twist for me
oh shit, Akhan pours liquid as bait twice in the movie
trust; nice
shit, the scratches on the back again... huh 🤔
i'mma need somebody to CinemaWins this with cultural and religious explanations
(Major Spoilers)
thank Radha both these beautiful fuckers lived 🥺
i like dark endings, but fuck dat noise damnit
so many bloody fakeouts; i hated it in the moment, but i loved it after
real talk, though; Ram is handsomer, but Akhtar looks better with his shirt off
what's telling is which side of the screen people looked at the most at the end
glad i saw it; wasn't sure at first
some good shit fo'real
lots about gender role boxing brought up, and i dig it
the fact that she's always wearing pants
love her outfits, tho
telling of my own preferences that i have comparatively nothing to say about the husband, though i get his philosophy
is this even camp? 🤔 not quite i don’t think
honestly surprised this didn’t awaken anything in me
the only other person in the theatre walked out with a smile on her face, though
(Minor Spoilers)
so he was fem homo and she was masc
really nice ending mood- and aesthetic-wise
yeah, methinks she's a switch verse
fucked that she was so manipulative and non-understanding, though; dude might've been right when he called her out... probably
yeah, I'd fuck her at the end; o'crazy ass
(Moderate Spoilers)
nice that they embraced it in the end, but sucks o'dude so violent
fucked he killed o'girl; def was a masculinity move considering what she was causing
o'girl pulled some typical (female?) shit by putting him on the spot like that; outing him and shit
seriously, wtf? probs naivety tbh 🙄
the wife joined the gang 🤔
oh shit, threesoms? 😳
dark happy ending; fucked how certain things turned out
It was pretty good. I teared up a whole one time. 😅
curious to know more about what Ma was like; wish we could see video footage of her
seems like some degree of a "we're not racist" town 🙄
nice that mom & dad got their first vacation
running that place seemed stressful; extremely moreso when antimaskers came in the make a point
interesting that people feel it's okay to so blatantly shove their politics in everyone's face but are anti such freedoms for contrasting views
glad i finally saw this even though i heard about it a long-ass time ago
"you don't live here"
wish i wasn't in such a hurry during the pre-credits so i could actually take it all in -_-
(Minor Spoilers)
the main/oldest was ballsy as hell; like, i likes her spunk; probs gets it from Ma
sad dad was so hurtful, but glad mom called him out and he owned up
i felt that "nothing would matter anymore" frustration
(Moderate Spoilers)
curious to know even more about what dad experienced in Cambodia; def' needs therapy, holy shit
the brotha definitely could use some therapy (and Afro peers in his life if he lacks any); being very uncomfortable talking about race as a BIPOC is a flag to me; unpack dat shit with a professional
expected bad cgi, but barely noticed any (minus the fire toss >.>)
i dig his design (theirs ain't bad, but i really like their color change underwater)
like how they did the whole thing really, especially how they handled Chadwick; like, Fast & Furious franchise didn't handle it nearly aswell
was nice that we all got to finish mourning too
missed whatever popped on-screen for the 2nd stinger
was nice hearing that throwback to the first movie in the credits for a moment
da outfits, though 😯
the American scientist has lesbian vibes
some of the humor was 'eh, mostly with the American scientist; could've been a performance matter, though
holy shit, the new suits were designed to sell toys more than fit the movie :x
after a talk with a friend, i do have to ask... what would it have been like if Disney had nothing to do with it 🤔
They really did two side ass-shots. 🙄
(Moderate Spoilers)
wasn't expecting o'girl from I May Destroy You to be in it, and lesbian too? 😮
mom's was losing herself
they lost so many damn people in that fight; worked out in the end, but damn
freakin' Mega-Man up in here 😅
(Major Spoilers)
interesting that she made M'Baku BP candidate
was a trip seeing Killmonger; though she was gonna get a monstrous/disturbing form of her mother because of the trauma; interesting that her ancestral plane had her stuck in her own moment- oh~
she managed to end the cycle, though, but only because her mother reached out; where dafuq is Killmonger's mom? 🤔
