Started watching Time and Tide (Tsui Hark, 2000) last night. It’s crazy how I can throw on a random Hark and see 2 dozen shots and edits which cause my eyes to slowly roll back into my skull in ecstasy.

Black Girl (Ousmane Sembéne, 1966): The violence of benevolent colonialism realized through the tragic tale of domestic servant Diouana played by the luminous Mbissine Thérèse Diop. The promise of freedom is actually suffocation and eventual demise. Masterful work.

Imma let my men Gael Garciá Bernal and Paul Verhoeven do the heavy lifting here but: Don’t watch Adult Movies/TV if it causes you such dyspepsia. Plenty of Content Dreck for grown babies nowadays

Tickled by people who say 2024 has been a bad year for movies because I’ve had a tough time picking my Top 20 of the year, and there’s at least 10 additional new releases I’m itching to watch before the year wraps.

It’s a legacy sequel about Roman gladiators with brawls, baboons, rhinos, and a Colosseum ships battle with sharks. Think this may be a skill issue pal
