Under the Shadows(2016)
Very powerful. Nice movie, definitely exposed my lack of knowledge on Middle East folklore and mythology…

Ok I'm not gonna do this for Jan but I think going forward I will & feel free to judge my taste in movies, I know I do.
Favorite (new) movies watched this month: Death Proof, Gridlock'd, Calvary, Any Given Sunday, Fury
Least Favorite movies: Brick, See How They Run
Movies that were Fine™ but I wouldn't recommend: Days of Thunder
Movies I 100% forgot I watched: Corrina, Corrina
Movies that surpised me: Birdman (it's been on my radar since it came out, but I never actually knew what it was about), Hustlers (I think I got it confused in my mind with The Hustle, so I went in thinking it wouldn't be that good, but it was a blast)
Non-English movies: Character, Be My Family, Farha,
Always open for more recs, too. I think I watched a lot more recs from followers last month than I did this month, but I still got around to a couple of them!

it's important to watch shitty foreign movies, i'm so serious about this. when you only ever watch foreign movies if they make it to the oscars or if they're being talked about online, you have a distorted perception of what they're actually like. they're not prestigious, elitist, inaccessible, or hard to watch. they're just in a different language

do people who aren't from the us randomly put on a movie and get a visceral reaction from how american the cast sounds. like WOAH hold on i gotta pay attention, wasn't expecting this to be an american movie

i think every time i watch criminal minds i get more and more angry about the way the team treats reid's infodumping. like. you literally hired him to infodump. you regularly treat him like he's an extension of google. and then you roll your eyes or act like he's being soooo annoying and boring when he just! does his job! and then do the same thing to him when he's infodumping about stuff he actually likes too!!! undermine him in front of other police forces when you act like him sharing information is so terrible and annoying. fucking stop it! let him talk! and i'm talking mostly to jj bc despite the fact she's supposed to be so close to reid she literally does this to him almost every time he opens his mouth and it's fucking annoying!!!!!!!

my villain origin story is that Monster (2023) is the most deserving Best Original Screenplay of the year for Oscars, probably also Best Director, but it's not even anywhere near Oscars nominations
