I don't know why I was expecting something campy, like an *Ocean's 11* clone, but this isn't that. What a pleasant surprise! This story is dark and violent, and I enjoyed the performances of the entire cast. Very fucking satisfying to see the terrible men in this movie get what was coming to them; but gottdam, Veronica's story is so sad 😭 I know she's a fictional character, but I want nothing but joy for that woman for the rest of her life.

Anyway, good movie, would watch again some time 👍👍

Not my cup of tea 🍵

*Spaceman* isn't a **bad** movie, but when I sit down to watch a movie about an astronaut alone in space meeting a giant talking spider / alien, I kinda want the movie to be about that. This movie has those things, but it's not about them. Instead, this movie is about a lonely dude reflecting on his failing marriage. It's a long walk with a tense score to come around to "lonely dude realizes he'd rather be on Earth with his wife than several million miles away, alone (maybe?) and in space." The cast's performance was solid all around, but it's just not the movie I wanted it to be 🤷‍♂️

A sweet (sort of?) movie about friendship. I think 😅

Sam Rockwell's character is a bit much, and a lot of his dialogue is cringy, but it sorta works out exactly how it needed to in the end. I'm also a sucker for anything with Christopher Walken, and his character in this movie is easily the most interesting. (Except for maybe Maggy, but Maggy's not so much a character in this movie as much as she's a character in a story told in this movie . . . 😅)

Glad nothing bad happened to Bonny ❤️

This dystopian body-horror flick is definitely not my usual cup of tea, and I wouldn't recommend it to just anyone, but it does a fantastic job of providing a visceral illustration of the failings of a vertical society (i.e., capitalism). Really, though, holy fuck 😳
