a detective investigates a string of murders where all the victims are killed the same way-but each by different killers. it’s a fascinating look into the idea of the individual vs. society, the breaking point of “good people”, and a frightening reassurance that you can never truly know another person.
Expert framing, great outfits, and solid plot, I haven’t stopped thinking about it since I watched it on criterion channel earlier this week.

Such a fun and beautifully shot “who done it“. Every frame is stunningly beautiful and the story had me AT THE EDGE OF MY SEAT.

Truman Capote is an eccentric millionaire who invites the world’s greatest detectives to his house to solve a mysterious murder. It’s a parody of old detectives like Sam Spade, the Thin Man, Mrs Marple and, unfortunately, Peter Sellers as a Charlie Chan character.
You don’t have to be familiar with the original movies for it to be funny, but it will help if you watch with a fun friend.

The 2009 Argentinian version, a really good detective thriller, feels like an early christopher Nolan film in a lot of way. its got the same time thing going on, with it cutting between the detectives solving the case and then writing a book about it 20 years later. there’s a scene about halfway through set at a football pitch, which is genuinely one of the most impressive scenes I’ve ever seen in a movie. 100% recommend

Had a bad day? Throw bullets on. Had a good day? Throw bullets on. Demolition Lovers is the best song ever made and I stand by that. Ray Toro’s music theory and sonic approach isn’t typical for what emo was(although this album clearly has some metal influence)and it’s cool to hear where they started that MCR sound. This is the best MCR album. I could geek out over this album all day every day. And I do. I’ve listened to this easily over 500 times sometimes on repeat three times a day at my boring data entry job. It has saved me. I would inject it straight into my heart if I could.

Had a former English teacher recommend me this (we still get coffee hehe) and I’m not too far into it but it’s already made me think about race and conversations about race differently.
I’m biracial and in the introduction, Diangelo actually talks about the “middle” and this idea of “saliency” in regards to multiracial people, and I *never* hear people talk about the multiracial experience, even if the author admits it’s too complex of a topic to cover in her book which primarily tackles the idea of white fragility. But I very much appreciated her saying that and I’m learning a lot from the book.
