Hell of a double bill today.

Speaking of Kunitsu-Gami, one of my birthday presents today. c:

There's no balloons here, so I made my own. c:

Last and least, my Bottom 3 of 2024.

Horizon was the first acts of four different Westerns, only two of which were remotely interesting.

Megalopolis is an obtuse manifesto and perplexing monument to hubris.

Madame Web is frustratingly close to competence, but presumably ruined by studio notes.

Honourable mentions for American Fiction, Furiosa, Monkey Man & Thelma.

My Top 10 of 2024.

As is tradition, here are all the movies I saw* in 2024, over 70% of which were in a cinema.

Since records began I've had a vague goal to see over 50 new films in one year, and I finally did it. c:

Second Black Pumas gig of the year, this time with Dad.

Amazing show, great vibes throughout.

Another tour shirt acquired.

Got to meet Eric afterwards, who was so gracious and signed a copy of the set list that a kind staff member had to hand.

Just an incredible night. c:

And, for the first time since records began, I actually saw enough films released in 2023 to make a genuine Top 10.

My Top 10 movies for 2023.

Only a few films I would call out-and-out bad, here's my Bottom 3.

Here's all the movies I saw in 2023*.

Had to split the table in two, it was a busy year.

My informal resolution for 2024 is more European cinema and female directors.
