Fascinating that back in September 2020 Chomsky predicted Farage emerging as the UK's next PM if Boris didn't live up to the right wings wishes. And people dismissed this as ludicrous at the time saying Farage would never even become an MP lmao

Sky and other media outlets continue to blatantly lie about Reform's polling demographics
The only demographic voting Reform continues to be middle aged-old white men. What do they even get by writing articles *pretending* that young people and women are supporting them?

1. PARASITE (2019)
While I personally wouldn't rate Parasite as a 5/5 and therefore not even close to best film of the century so far, I can't complain too much. It is an absolute gem of a social satire- 4.5/5

RIP David Lynch you magical man. This film is (as with Blood) more than worthy of being in the top 10. Endlessly rewatchable and haunting once you figure out what it's about- 5/5

3. THERE WILL BE BLOOD (2007)
PTA's second masterpiece (after Magnolia) and his best. Somehow epic in its scale despite relatively tiny events, this film shows what happens when greed, selfishness and contempt for humanity eats at the soul. DDL gives the best performance ever- 5/5

5. MOONLIGHT (2016)
A very important movie for anyone gay, black or with a horrible deprived childhood in general that has had a life of suffering. This film combines all that. Undeniably powerful, but just never stood out to me in any way beyond its subject matter- 3.5/5

6. NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN (2007)
Kinda in that category of undeniably great, but doesn't standout as masterpiece for me. A pretty much strongly faithful of Cormac's novel by the Coens, with their usual quirks sort of more subtly than usual added in- 4/5

Undeniably a very well acted, scored, directed and very topical film. But despite my own personal hatred for Zuck, I can't really overlook the fact that for the most part the film is ahistorical junk sourced from a smear piece- 3.5/5

11. MAX MAX: FURY ROAD (2015)
Must confess that in a similar vein to Dunkirk, it doesn't hold up on rewatches. A masterful thrill ride I thought when I saw it at the cinema, but on re-watch it lacks as much substance despite some attempts at environmental/feminist themes- 3.5/5
