I don’t remember the original Bird Box in great detail… it came out in 2018! Can you imagine? Five years earlier (dear god… time is the crucible in which we burn). I remember it being alright… lot of buzz around … Continue reading
Part of me suspects Asteroid City is one big troll by Wes Anderson. Like he put together a movie that feels exactly like a movie he’d make, but then he just filled it with abstractions, oddities, and disconnected stuff. When … Continue reading
