I'm a big theater-goer (having a job and living within 30 min of an Alamo Drafthouse makes that easy) so I tend to keep up with a lot of recent movies. Watched Weapons last night and I found it very thrilling and particularly entertaining. I like how it fed us the story in segments, from a different character's perspective. It very much so is a gorey film towards the end, and the scares rely on tension and anticipation (like most horror thrillers) so it didn't feel undue. The messaging had like. One moment were it hit the audience over the head with what it was, but was very much so a one-time thing, and still felt a bit up to interpretation.

Bad Guys 2 was phenomenal animation. Somehow its even more stylized than the first one. 2D textures on the models, and all the smoke FX was 2D animated very well. Definitely one of Spiderverse's children. Also, its definitely the child of anime too. Felt like I was watching a Lupin special or a mid 2000's Shonen OVA with how stylish and well-choreographed everything was. Like that De La Soul song, them Stakes Is High. I liked how they kept ratcheting up the ante and making it even more tense as the show went on. Love those character designs too. I didn't know I needed a muscular butch snow leopard voiced by Danielle Brooks in my life. And I definitely ain't complaining!

Saw Eddington last week and it was really good. That third act left me speechless. I initially saw it in previews for Sinners and 28 Years Late (both good movies as well) and, like a typical schmuck consumer, was drawn to go see it because Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone and Pedro Pascal were in it. And I recognize those names! Side note, I may or may not be gay for Pedro Pascal. would you call that Schrodinger's Homosexuality? Hmm. I believe they call that Bisexuality these days. I dunno. I just think he's dreamy, er, NEAT. Anyway, the movie kinda satirizes post-pandemic politics and for me, a terminally online weirdo with socialist leanings, hit very close to home. Go into it as Blind. As. Possible. You won't regret it. Or maybe you will. I dunno. These are my opinions. Get your own.
