  • When Elon bought Twitter he changed the verification system which used to be for public personalities to be trusted into a paid tier. So suddenly you could have a blue check mark by your name just like Rhianna, AOC, or any of your other favorite celebs for $10/month. Tumblr responded by selling rainbow checkmarks to anyone for $2.50 and so a lot of people sarcastically bought and gifted them to other people to make fun of Twitter. Ultimately they’re meaningless







  • The Bourne Identity 4/5 - Really solid action flick. The sounds are a little cartoony and dated but definitely holds up

    Final Destination 5 4/5 - Honestly I think it’s the best in the series. It has the right mix of murder contraptions and plot contrivance. The whole “you can steal time by killing other people” kinda comes out of nowhere but it does give us a villain

    Final Destination Bloodlines 3.5/5 - I’m a little surprised to hear people call this the best in the series. The premise was interesting but I feel like despite the big cast there just weren’t as many big kills. I think it got a little too bogged down in the plot and forgot we’re here for Rube Goldberg murders

    Mission: Impossible - Dead Reckoning Part 1 3.5/5 - That title didn’t age well. I like it as a MI movie but it does feel like it lowers the tension from the previous ones, a likely necessity due to it being part 1. Maybe this score changes aftrf I see Final Reckoning

    The Death and Life of Bobby Z 2/5 - A common criticism I have of these B movies is that there are just too many plots going on. This is another case of that, Laurence Fishburne’s character is confusingly motivated, I don’t really agree that the central concept of the movie is valid. It’s fine, but I expected better from this cast




  • M3GAN 3.5/5 - It’s way funnier than it has any right to be. I’m pretty excited for the sequel

    The Final Destination (4) 2/5 - One of the main characters is billed as “Racist” and another is first billed as “MILF”. The cgi is also way too heavy and not very good

    Clown in a Cornfield 3.5/5 - MUCH better than I expected, I expected dogshit, so pretty good was a surprise. I liked the characters, the clowns, and the plot

    Looper 3.5/5 - I view time travel movies on a spectrum from Primer to Looper. Primer explains the details of time travel and has insane internal consistency whereas Looper stares down the camera and says “fuck you, don’t think about it”. Which is all to say that I liked it, it has a Christopher Nolan vibe like “the plot makes sense as long as you don’t think about it too hard”

    Godzilla: King of the Monsters 3.5/5 - Godzilla fights a bunch of Kaiju. It’s pretty cool, I wish I had seen it in a theater

    Terrifier 2/5 - I don’t know if this is a movie or film student’s final showing off their technical skills. There’s not really a plot, just a bunch of cheaply, but well made, practical effects in loosely connected scenes

    Waterworld 1.5/5 - I had heard so much about this but had never seen it, man there is so much going on in this. I love that most of the movie is practical effects, which apparently cost a metric shitload of money. There’s just too many plots, too many scenes, too many characters, and too much that doesn’t make sense
