Once Upon A Time in Hollywood. Great. It felt like a love letter. And almost every scene surprised me; trope after trope is set up only to be subverted joyfully. And yo. the acting. wow.

For those who grew up in awe of Michael Jordan as i did, but who, like myself, never really felt they knew the man, I would recommend The Last Dance. It’s a revelation. And the end of episode 7 is a moment of such emotional impact that I felt the urge to tweet about it. Wow. 😮👍.

Recs 2/2. Bacurau - this Brazilian gem is completely off the chain. Immersive, vibey and unpredictable.And it features Lunga who is now one of my all time favorite film characters. Wrath of Man - some nice sound design and artful shots. Does the job. Spiral - Rock made me LOL.

I saw a film called “The Load” by Ognjen Glavonić. The pacing is quite relaxed, you could say; but it’s fantastic. I loved it.

Films I’ve seen lately . Possessor - excellent film. Not for the faint of heart. On par with Martyrs and Irreversible in terms of brutality. But it’s great. Thought provoking. The Nest - awesome film. Greenland - well-executed all around but kinda felt like propaganda.

Movie recs 1/2. Promising Young Woman - poignant, edgy and original. Great chemistry (or should I say rapport) between Mulligan and Burnham. Who knew he was a solid actor?.She’s great. Sound of Metal - amazing. Loved it. Powerful and authentic. Oxygen - surprisingly satisfying.

There was something very touching about “The Old Man and the Gun” especially when considered in context with Redford’s vast and incredible career. 👍 And as a side note - even the titles have great feel.

Maybe my favorite part of new Trainspotting was discovering the song and video for "Your Dad's Best Friend" by The Rubberbandits.

Rewatched “Observe and Report” which remains one of my favorite films of the aughts. And it felt oddly timely.

While I’ve enjoyed a lot of mainstream content recently - Bodies Bodies Bodies, Watcher (Okuno), Barbarian, The Viewing (Cosmatos), Smile - for example; the most engrossing watch has been, hands down, hours of news footage of the Brooks V Wisconsin Trial. Iykyk.#JudgeDorowForPres.

Listening to Viktor Vaughn’s “Let Me Watch” in honor of the genius who was MF Doom. A true legend and one of my favorite artists. Next I’m going to listen to “Potholderz.”.Songs I’ve listened to a thousand times. Thank you and farewell to a genius, a Madvillain, MF DOOM. RIP.

So sad to hear about the passing of Stewart Lupton. He was a great artist and an inspiration to me and many others. If you are unfamiliar, check out “The Search for Cherry Red”.

RIP Humpty Hump. Digital Underground was a great companion and inspiration to me during some formative years. Sex Packets blew my mind. And Humpty Dance will always be my jam. Thanks for sharing your gifts, Shock G. 🖤.

4DX theater technology is so conceptually unsound, it won't last - but if they keep it around, I'd like to advise them how to improve it 😎.

Lotta jibber jabber out there since the fight. My 2 cents: Jamie Foxx did an awesome rendition of the anthem. And the fight was not bad.
