I didn't enjoy enough movies in 2025 to write a "movies of the year" blog post but I can safely say that KPop Demon Hunters was my movie of the year
Ballerina (2025) was the worst movie of the year because it was simply so boring. I found myself fast forwarding through a bunch of it because it is so boring.
Ana de Armas being mind numbingly hot can't save this movie from being a bland series of action sequences.
I don't think we need a "John Wick extended universe" series of movies if Ballerina is the kind of movie we are going to get.
Sinners was the only movie I watched in a movie theatre this year.
I still need to rewatch this because I am not sure if the movie theatre I watched it in had a busted sound system or not. The movie was unusually loud to my ears and it kinda ruined the movie for me.
Conclave was interesting but ultimately it didn't leave any sort of lasting impact as a movie.
It made me nostalgic for the Dan Brown book Angels & Demons. There was a time where I used to be obsessed with Dan Brown's books.
KPop Demon Hunters replacing the first Fast and Furious movie in my Letterboxd list of favourite films
bruh, I've watched The Matrix (1999) multiple times and somehow completely missed this shot from the beginning of the movie where Neo opens up a hollowed out copy of Baudrillard's Simulacra & Simulation
this movie is the GOAT fr
to be fair to me, a few years ago I would have had no idea about who Baudrillard or this book was so
cool to discover new things in a movie that is about as old as I am
@packetcat iirc, the wachowskis instructed reeves to read the book, and he really struggled with it lol
@packetcat morpheus’s line welcoming neo to “the desert of the real” is apparently a direct quotation
@aescling lol doesn't surprise me, it is a philosophy text
( I haven't read it either, I've just heard of it )
