A short summary of Jesse’s 2025 activity on Letterboxd.

One of the city’s last independent music venues, Bottom of the Hill has survived waves of gentrification, COVID closures, and more throughout its 35 years. Now, owners say it’s last call — on their own terms.

4/5: Very good. At times the prose gets in its own way at trying to be fancy. Some of the characters act very irrationally. And it’s frankly over stuffed with plot and ideas. But ultimately it is a very good western and has a lot of big ideas to say about human nature and what is just and right vs what is legal.

Hm. I think this movie is perfectly summarized at the end by Mickey saying something along the lines of “you have to die because we have a point to make, I’m not sure what that point is but…” (not an exact quote). This is a wild insane 90s ride. Look. I openly dislike Oliver Stone. I think nearly all his movies I’ve seen are bad (oddly I like “W” though). But this might be my new favorite of his. This movie just fucking throws *everything* at the wall and sees what sticks and frankly a lot of it does stick.
