Okay, David Fincher is officially my favorite director of all time. I love writing my reviews while the blurred credits just roll behind my phone, and as I sit here I can’t help but realize that this guy Fincher genuinely can’t pump out anything less than a miracle.  Wow though, there a couple rough scenes to get through. Touched on some really sensitive subjects that initially lingered in the back of my mind as a possibility, but I couldn’t help but sense them bubbling up to the surface in such a gruesome and frankly heartbreaking fashion. Just legitimately makes you think about how this shit is actually a reality for so many people. And I have to mention the parallels to Knives Out towards the beginning especially. Not only in the cast of course but really just in the overall tone, all topped off when Plummer told Craig that “The man who hires the detective should always be kept on the suspects list”. Like you can’t make this shit up it was simply perfect 😚🤌 Again gotta praise Fincher for his settings and location choices, really is the cherry on top. But good lord I think it’s time to watch Fight Club

It would take me this long to see Superbad Can’t believe how immaculate this cast is like Hader and Rogan are probably the best on screen duo I’ve beared witness too in a while.    Superbad, overall, is superfun, but ultimately overhyped.

Wow okay this was just, remarkable. I’ll confidently say this is easily his best work since Interstellar, and right now I’ll put this as my 4th favorite Nolan film of all time. Like how the hell did he capture some of these frames it’s seriously the definition of movie magic. Just a few highlights were OF COURSE, the pig scene, but also the confrontation with his fallen men in Hades was really really intriguing to me, absolutely haunting yet so incredibly fascinating. Reminded me of that one scene from TLOTR. Not sure which movie but if you know you know.  But holy fucking shit, the way I felt and heard every part of this movie in my throat and chest was insane. That cyclops could’ve been right next to me the way my seat was just shaking and all I could hear was that unworldly scream. Especially in an IMAX theater it’s just so so unparalleled. It’s weird tbh, but my one complaint was with some of the performances themselves. I honestly find Tom a little dull even if I know he’s pouring his heart into a scene. In all fairness I’ve seen hardly any of his work, but I watch BND next week sooo hell my opinion might completely flip. And I believe this movie more than any justifies the need to see it in IMAX. I feel so blessed to live a mere 20 minutes from a 70mm theater and for that, I’ll forever be grateful 😇 Thank you once again, Sir Christopher Nolan 👏

First watch was over a discord call so I feel like I owed it to the movie to give it another shot 😭 Drive is a simple story, really at its core there’s not a lot of depth here. In almost every case, thats something that just doesn’t work for me. But somehow, just Ryan behind the wheel being the biggest takeaway here, it does. This movie could’ve been hot garbage tbh but it wouldn’t have mattered with Gosling at the forefront. Him and Gyllenhaal genuinely aren’t capable of putting up anything less than a stellar performance it always amazes me, the day those 2 retire is gonna be cinemas 9/11 I promise you
