Yes, you can see the ending coming from the parking lot before the movie starts. Yes, there are more setbacks than at a Sisyphean family picnic. Yes, the soundtrack is schizophrenic-doesn’t know if it’s scoring a thriller, a period piece or a John Hughes film. BUT Marty Supreme is a very good film.

Herzog’s Aguirre, the Wrath of God, is like an indie conquistador movie filmed incredibly on the Amazon in Peru. The shit is real! The film looks like a documentary but lands like a fable w/ profound but sublime statements on colonization, religion and mankind. Great film. Must watch. On Criterion.

The Testament of Ann Lee trailer looks like Robert Eggers saw Lars von Trier’s Breaking the Waves and said: Yes this is an excruciatingly depressing niche musical no one will ever watch again…but I can top it!

When are they going to put Lou Ann Barton’s Old Enough on streaming? Great album. Best version of Brand New Lover.

De Palma’s Carlito’s Way was a split decision on Siskel & Ebert. Europeans preferred it to Americans but the gap has narrowed. The plot is preposterous pulp. Pacino’s changes accents more than wardrobe-each unidentifiable. Penn is hysterical. Movie looks great, never dull (but not for Rosenbaum.)

Use the elements in You’ve Got Mail in an analysis of how it’s portrayal of capitalism, relationships and the internet predicted the present day nightmare we are living of corporate greed, lack of relationships and the toxic internet.

Ephron’s You’ve Got Mail is not intrinsically an important film-a lightweight romantic comedy-but it takes a snapshot of America right when capitalism, male/female relationships & the internet are about to take a catastrophic turn, visible trends w/ an ominous trajectory to the present day disaster.

I couldn’t turn off Stranger Things fast enough-so derivative and mediocre-and almost 10 years later it’s still around. 😖$400,000,000 for season five on Netflix, but they refused to fund David Lynch’s project. Casual viewing hell is what everything is becoming… 🔥 💩

Jeff Tweedy’s Twilight Override was the best album of 2025. It’s embarrassing that it isn’t even on most top ten albums of 2025. Didn’t make Pitchfork’s Top 50 but Addison “my cheeks are red like cherries in spring” Rae did. Right.😶
