Let’s keep on consumin’ that media
Nice movie November!
My Movie Moment of the Month was the bit in Ambulance where Yahya Abdul-Matee hooks himself up to give his blood to the cop he shot whilst still driving the ambulance being used as the getaway vehicle during a high-speed pursuit. Cool as shit.
Month of the rewatches here - 10 of them, only 5 newbies
Best new - Anora
Best rewatch - Rear Window
Worst - The Crow (but Ocean’s 12 was much worse than I remembered)
Total: 20
Best: Conclave, Anora, Look Back, Fargo (rewatch), Starlet, Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door, I’m A Cyborg But That’s OK (rewatch), Wildlife
worst: Paddington in Peru
MMOTM: the bit in I’m a Cyborg where she starts shooting at people.
What the heck, man!?
Somehow felt like all the characters got less screen time than before, didn’t have the fun “getting the gang together sequence”, the Julia Roberts stuff was cringe. Pass!
Irreconcilable difference of opinion here regarding the film Oceans 12
Have a lovely day nevertheless x
MMOTM
Toss up between Vanya’s nude backward roll pre-sex in Anora, or the hot ballerina in Rear Window chowing down on what looked like a full tomahawk steak while doing her routine
How does Ocean’s 13 fare in your estimation
I like it less but that’s because I love how brazenly “movie stars hanging out is all you peasants need” Oceans 12 is.
13 is decent though and more just like a not as good retread of 11
Best: Aliens & Your Name (both rewatches)
Worst: All Monsters Attack - the Godzilla franchise version of a clip show
MMOTM: inside the plane diving towards the Pacific in Emergency Declaration
A serious lack of film nutrition this month:
MMotM - Opening battle in Gladiator 2 and Denzel saying politics
Ok I’m looking at my notes from Nov 2024 and these were the favourites of the many films I watched:

Keep forgetting to watch Will and Harper too
Thirty films had November.

Worst: Swede Caroline
MMOTM: Sophie Thatcher’s bee-stung lips in Heretic.
Oh fuck me that film reminded me why I hate Britain

movie moment of the month: “you the one who killed our friend?” in open range
Only just set up a letterboxd finally, so doing this from memory
