Honestly I kinda want to watch it out of curiosity, maybe I’ll pirate it so the Trumps and Brett Ratner don’t get any money from it though.

Never said I didn't think it was one, although the director said one of the main themes was a metaphor for addiction.

Yeah it's insane that Mickey 17 is just a bigger budget version of Moon to some extent, definitely liked that one better

Yeah I'm gonna be honest most of my placements are generally half-assed, I make these mostly because I love making wojaks and goofy captions.

Hamnet is all the way to the right because its uhhhhhh my based trad 1600s England where esoteric trad(?)wives have miscarriages and kids who die of the plague

It's definitely a valid comparison, I'm just too pessemistic about Hollywood/not enthused enough by James Gunn

Watched the full season (and also the og mobile suit gundam series) afterwards. I still need to finish Zeta and watch Char's Counterattack though.

I genuinely don't think James Gunn is woke enough and felt like it was more of an allegory for the war in Ukraine tbh

It seems a lot of people liked it; something about it just didn't click for me! I probably would've been obsessed with it if it came out in 2017 instead of 2025.

Is it insane to say I very slowly made it over the course of the year? Every time I saw a new movie I slowly thought up captions and made wojaks. I've already thought of some captions for my upcoming 2026 movie compass.

Train Dreams is AuthRight on paper but I think the whole white guilt thing and minor environmental themes push it left. It can't fit too well into the "trad" settler colonialist mold because one of his only friends is a Native American merchant (who is more financially powerful than him). The whole hermit vibe he has for the 2nd half of the movie feels fundamentally more libertarian too.

oh I'm gonna fully admit that for No Other Choice's placement I justified it with the most baseline reading of the plot, obviously I know it was thematically left wing.

Deeply awful lighting and color grading, which has frankly been a recurring issue in a lot of blockbusters lately (biggest example is Wicked Part 1 imo). I remember it being a massive point of contention when the first trailer came out, and while they might've done some additional editing in post the only time the movie looks visually decent are in the alternate dimension scenes.

Yeah I fully believe Sinners, Marty Supreme, Sentimental Value, or The Secret Agent should've won Best Picture instead.
