I had chills.
The hairs on the back of my neck and arms were tingling.
I almost thought I couldn’t feel that from a film anymore, so that was genuinely exciting.

Obviously, it’s about toxic relationships, which is always relevant, but feels even more so now with fandom, politics, porn, social media… all these modern dopamine machines that are inherently selfish, always consuming, never giving. The masturbatory nature of it all, completely uncaring of consequences to others.

It’s very much…

Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu
★★★ Watched

Mando and Grogu can be summed up with:
“BUT ALSO”

It’s a movie BUT ALSO a show. 
It’s a Mando movie BUT ALSO a Grogu movie. (Pretty much cut in half)
Great practical effects (puppetry and stop motion = cool) BUT ALSO bad CGI (Buff Hutt = not cool).
It’s a goofy kids movie BUT ALSO filled with terrifying creatures and violence.
The score is synthy and fresh (Shakari is fun) BUT ALSO it’s overused.
The cinematography is beautiful BUT…

Such a fucked up experiment. Too bad the documentary doesn’t address the deeper ramifications and the immediate aftermath. Why didn’t he sue or make any money? What did he do? It just jumps 15 years later where he’s still famous and seemingly still traumatized but we are not provided with anything more meaningful or insightful.
