Pacific rim

this movie is an absolute classic!!! A master class in near dystopian, end of world, love story with a side of eccentrics that can only be found in films made over ten years ago. Is it cringe?? HELL NO. its a sign of those times update: it also feels SO american in a way thats so comforting. I miss the unbridled patriotism sometimes

☏ Sorry to Bother You (boots riley) ☏

"𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗮 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗶𝘁, 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺" cassius green, upon getting a new job as a telemarketer, is encouraged to use his "white voice" in order to do well at the company. as he continues mounting successes, he eventually gets promoted to "power caller," getting caught in the middle between his fellow workers trying to unionize and the higher ups trying to further drive a wedge between them absolutely insane, stellar performances from the entire cast, particularly lakeith stanfield and david cross as cassius. you may have been spoiled for one of the twists in this movie, watch it anyway. it will be an absolute roller coaster regardless i'm genuinely surprised this didn't massively blow up. i know i'm biased bc i love absurdism and it's not for everybody, but especially in light of a lot of anticapitalist/eat the rich media that made waves in recent years (parasite, the menu, triangle of sadness, etc.) it feels like the only reason this one didn't reach more ubiquity is that boots riley probably didn't want to play ball with the "hollywood" of it all (related, u should watch maggie mae fish's video essay on the movie as well lol) anyways, this movie is great, one of my all time favorites. peep "i'm a virgo" too if you wanna watch more of riley's stuff

American psycho

i hadn't seen this movie in over 10 years and loved it on this rewatch. it gets a bad rap for being like a "film bro" movie but it's so much more than that. bret easton ellis rules and this adaptation has to be one of the best ever

an obscure youtuber’s black widow spider infestation arc

His name is NewBeanMeister22. 8 or so years back, when I was in college, I found out about his insane youtube channel. Basically, the lore is this: he started as a weird but normal toy review channel with his wife, but that all changed when he got a package from ebay that contained a black widow spider that had just laid eggs. Supposedly the spiders scurried into his crawlspace and infested it, and soon spread to the rest of his house, meaning he had to quarantine his dog and kids away from the spread. He was desperate to be rid of the black widows, but too stubborn to hire a professional, so he started capturing other bugs from his backyard and releasing them into his house in hopes that they would kill the black widows. To mixed results. He filmed all of this and continued to release toy reviews and travel videos even as black widows overtook his house. He got caught in drama a few years ago when he was accused of reusing old footage to fake the infestation despite having gotten rid of the spiders. So now he fessed up that they have been taken care of, yet harnesses his love of insects (and the fact that most of his viewers came to his channel to gawk at his black widow infestation) to maintain an extensive cast of pet spiders and mantises. A legend in my eyes, and a saga me and my roommate watched unfold in real time.
