last four films i watched ranked

by personal opinion/enjoyment be nice to me 1. titane - this is the greatest movie ever made (many have said). nothing else i can say about it that i have not said 100 times on this app already, but i also feel like i could never truly put into words how much i adore titane, my heart feels like it's bursting every time i watch it. listened to light house by future islands for like 3 days straight afterwards 2. baby invasion (pure) - probably criminal to rank this above anything else but i honestly really enjoyed it. harmony korine either has a lot to say about the current shit garbage state of the internet or is just going through a midlife crisis but this movie made me feel really gross about our world so im going to pretend its the first one. also amazing soundtrack. nobody boil me into a stew for ranking this above uncle boonmee 3. uncle boonmee who can recall his past lives - brilliant and i can see why this is so beloved but it did not resonate with me on an emotional level, i just think there was too much distance between the different vignettes for me personally. i do adore the idea, each scene was well constructed and i think bits of it will definitely stay with me (i loved the ending scene) but as a complete piece of work it just wasn't for me 4. another day in paradise - i did not care. sorryi just did not care

Gonna cap this at… 8…

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind. (this has been my favorite movie since I first watched it at 14 and I really doubt it will ever change. I just popped in the dvd to watch the director/writer commentary and other special features yesterday.) Zola. (I’ve seen Janicza Bravo do Q&As about Zola live twice which is probably two more times that the average person.) Springbreakers. Fallen Angels. Ingrid Goes West. The Royal Tenenbaums. 68 Kill. Poor Things. (I did not see enough movies last year, but I saw this one which is great because it was made for me specifically) Are you sensing a theme in these films….

I ❤️ THE BEATLES

I just going to cut to the chase, I can’t stand the Beatles hate. I understand everyone has their opinions and is entitled to like what they like, but in our year 2025 people still like to debate the validity of the fours musical and cultural importance by saying “they’re overrated”. Excuse me!? I dare you to name an artist or group of the last 50 years and tell me that person was not somewhat influenced by the Beatles in some capacity… quickly! They are your favorite artists’s favorite artists. From Michael Jackson to Nirvana, even Beyoncé included a cover of ‘Blackbird’ on her latest Cowboy Carter release. Every artist, every genre, every decade, it all leads back to the Beatles.  It’s one thing if you don’t like the Beatles, maybe they aren’t your thing sure I’ll give you that. But to say they’re “basic” or don’t deserve hype is just plain wrong. At the very least I feel as though everyone should respect the Beatles and their contributions to music and pop culture, because without them, the larger cultural zeitgeist in which we know it to be today would not exist -this isn’t even an exaggeration. For one, Beatlemania was one of the first cultural examples of “stan culture” no doubt and shaped the way audiences today engage in fandoms. The band are also regarded for their innovative song writing structure and studio recording techniques. Imploring string quartets, tape loops, and experimenting with guitar distortions added new sounds to pop music and challenged the clean, tight, bubble gum sounds found in pop radio at the time— sounds they helped to popularize. In an age where every part of a song can be made and manipulated using a computer program, the boys were in the studio COOKING using objects, instruments, and just about anything else they can get their hands on to create marvel sonic arrangements never heard before. Constantly pushing barriers and evolving in style and sound, the Fab Four gave the world new music to behold with every release. Pop, rock, metal, psychedelic, folk, alternative, and more can all be found inside the works of the Beatles. Few acts have stood the test of time, and even fewer boast an abundantly rich catalogue of prolific source material that’s been studied so intensely and adored by generations upon generations of music fans. Their work is still continually shaping the soundscape of modern music and leaving an undeniable mark on the cultural fabric music and the world.  I can go on and on and on but I will just say this, the Beatles are very important to pop music and culture as a whole. And if you stuck around to read all this I can only assume that you agree with me. And if you’re still unsure about the Beatles, I compiled a playlist on Apple Music of 20 of my personal favorite songs. Give it a listen and please share your thoughts on the four lads from Liverpool (good or bad) I would love to hear what others think. But thank you for letting me get this off my chest. Peace and love ✌🏽 https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/fab-four/pl.u-b3b88LeuPEPx9X

I CAN’T STOP EATING YOGURT PARFAITS

As the weather warms up in NYC I’ve been gravitating toward these sweet and refreshing bowls jam packed with fruit, crunchy granola, and savory Greek yogurt I’ve been making them at home but I’ll sometimes - and by sometimes I mean ab 3 times a week - buy it from my local bodega who makes the most unreal yogurt parfait, that I’ve tried to but simply cannot re create

FLIGHT OF THE CONCHORDS

Just wrapped up this hilarious little gem on HBO Max. It’s only two seasons which is a bummer but I’m already itching for a re watch. It’s funny, witty, musical, set in New York City, and not to mention the songs are not only genuinely hilarious but also pay loving homage to the artist/genres they are parodying. There’s references to David Bowie, Pet Shop Boys, Prince, and much more. Like you can tell they put a lot of effort and care into creating these silly songs, that you will no doubt find yourself bopping and singing along too un ironically. Give it a watch I’m sure you’ll be thoroughly entertained.
