saw natural born killers last night after seeing someone recommend it here, and HOLY SHIT THIS MOVIE WAS INCREDIBLE. it was a cinematic feast with the music video style shots, the animated cuts, the black and white frames, the neon green drug store portion, and the whole sitcom sequence. genius editing and cinematography. there is clearly the entire notion of the American media glorifying serial killers and giving them so much importance that it can almost be seen as them being embraced. but i'm sure the commentary runs deeper, for which i'd need to rewatch the film, i was too focused on the abso-fucking-lutely terrific stylistic choices this time.
also why tf was woody harrelson looking so hot in this geez
20/10 WOULD RECOMMEND

the unflinching type of depravity you expect to see in 480p on effedupmovies.com, not in a chain theatre, yet made me want to be much kinder to myself
watch if you like: cronenberg, troma, having physical reactions to art, being a gorgeous woman in a tiny glittery dress
i also recommend fargeat’s other film revenge (2017) which is similarly gnarly.. one thing i love about her style is when her brain cooks up something uniquely gruesome she wants her audience to see every bit of it, not a single cut away in either movie

I really recommend this movie if you like films that feel like documentaries and do a wonderful job depicting a specific time and place in culture. America is rotting at its core but movies like this make me want to show it to anyone and say, “this is what it actually is”

i have such a hard time getting through movies, its brutal and unfortunate. i am fully aware im missing out on some critical pieces of art in consequence, but if isnt both predominantly psychological thriller and as quickly paced as oppenheimer, its super hard to keep me engaged.
i will talk about this movie until the end of time. despite minimal dialogue and the most clinical atmosphere to be captured by means of cinematography, the lack of information and consequential unpredictability kept me thoroughly enticed and fully unnerved for the full two hours. minimalism weaponized for max intensity with no certain direction; epitomization of surrealist thriller.
watching it for the first time without context nor any expectations is an invaluable experience.

I was cleaning my sink today and noticed the tiniest seedling sprouting inside. i'm so confused at the dynamics of this and it blows my mind how life finds its way even in the darkest and murkiest environments

i was 16 when youtube first recommended a song called 'sugar for the pill' by some band i had never heard of. i clicked, i loved, and 2 days later i was deep down the slowdive rabbithole. and being a teenage boy in India i NEVER thought i'd see them live. but life has a way of working out, and my 16 year old self was OVER THE MOON at their concert last night. i don't think life will ever be the same again. thank you slowdive, i love you
(but i realllyyy wished they played golden hair, i was soo ready to weep like a baby hiasdhlfadsf)
