Recent Thoughts

some movies arent even enjoyable in the normal sense, theyre just impossible to forget.

“I keep rewatching the same 5 films instead of finishing my watchlist.”

Ill always respect movies that trust the audience a little. No Country for Old Men refusing to give a clean ending somehow makes it hit harder.

The best movies usually leave behind one small thing you carry around afterward — a line, a song, a color palette, a feeling you cant fully explain.

I like movies that leave a weird feeling after they end. the kind where you sit there for a minute before doing anything else.
