  • Recent one for me is Love Hurts.

    Had a few things going right for it. The early fight scene between Ke Huy Quan and Marshawn Lynch’s characters was really fun and cool. You could see the bones of a really fun John Wick clone but with a bit of an 70’s/80’s kung fu twist to it. But then they completely ruin it with the love interest plot and the boring bad guy and boring later fights. Take that early part of the movie and expand on it, and drop the love interest crap, and it might have been pretty good.










  • Since my comment on the previous post, I’ve seen:

    The Goonies (rewatch)

    Pineapple Express (rewatch)

    Nickel Boys (theater)

    Flow (theater)

    Speed

    The Other Guys (rewatch)

    Universal Soldier

    My Big Fat Greek Wedding


    Did a double feature with my S/O at the theater on Saturday with Nickel Boys and Flow. Both were very good in their own ways.

    Lots of rewatches this week since I was just in mood to watch some of my goto comfort movies.

    I’m pretty sure I’ve seen Speed before but it’s been so long and my memory of it is so vague, I’m considering it basically a first time watch. Great action flick. Keanu is goofy and fun as usual and Sandra Bullock is very charming in her role.

    Universal Soldier was very dumb and pretty much a ripoff of Terminator. Very fun action flick nonetheless. Would be a good one to watch and riff on with friends.

    My Big Fat Greek Wedding was pretty good. It was interesting that it’s a romcom that avoids a lot of romcom tropes and had an unconventional protagonist for the genre, but still works perfectly fine as a romcom.

    This is pretty normal. Every time there’s a big wave of new fediverse users, a big chunk eventually goes back to their original social media. Some portion will stick around to be regular users and the cycle will repeat again next time a social media company pisses off a bunch of people.



  • In the past week, I’ve watched:

    Paddington in Peru (theater)

    Moonstruck

    The Gorge

    Spiderman: Across the Spiderverse

    Cape Fear

    The Monkey (theater)

    I’d say both The Monkey and Paddington in Peru are among my favorite 2025 movies so far (though it’s early obv).

    Moonstruck is always great, watched it with my fiancée for Valentines Day.

    The Gorge was pretty mediocre with some interesting bits, but it just didn’t work for me overall.

    Spiderman was great; idk why I hadn’t seen it yet but I love how the newer animated Spiderman movies experiment with different art styles.

    Cape Fear was good. I loved how unhinged De Niro was in this.
