I rewatched The Zone of Interest after several months.

Man, what a rough movie packaged in such an idyllic setting. It's actually sickening and such a well done movie.

i was surprised at the ending originally, which felt abrupt and not what i expected. But watching again, i got such a better sense of the filmography, sound, and the realism of the film.

Having such a "casual" take on the holocaust is so uncomforting and eerie.

Went back and watched Arrival again.

It’s still outstanding.

Now it’s spread across the internet in 5 minutes and we can watch trailers on repeat.

I didn't know until last night that Alien had been re-released to theatres for its 45th anniversary. If you've never seen it, go see it on a big screen!

I recorded the two Prince music videos which had clips from the movie and watched them relentlessly. #oldasdirt

My dad bought it for me the day it came out, but after 1 viewing, my super religious mother had my brother give it away to a friend. Then again, perhaps it just wasn't appropriate for a 7 year old by late 80s standards?
