Spider-Man 2 (2004) dir. Sam Raimi. 7.5/10

I wouldn't recommend this movie to my friends. I wouldn't rewatch this movie.

Ugh I just love prop design in 2000s movies. Damn that battle during doc ock's surgery was so chaotic and kinda reminded me of saw idk. This movie is so much more superhero dramatic than the first movie.

omg Daniel Dae Kim. Omfg not an Asian girl scraping her fingernails like that on the ground. omfg at literal bags of coins. Omfg this Asian child doing her best to stay alive.

Someone show me the process of Harry and Peter becoming friends. Harry has become so much angrier and volatile after his father's death. Eyebrows all furrowed. Honestly, I have no idea how MJ feels about people. Are you just with someone just to be with someone or what? I don't even fully know how she fell in love with Peter. Can you believe Peter's pull with her? LIke, he never talked to her for years but now we're besties. I want more context on why this fusion machine is so important.

I did cry at everyone helping Spidey after he saved the train.

A Streetcar Named Desire (1995) dir. Glenn Jordan. 7.2/10

I wouldn't recommend this movie to my friends. I wouldn't rewatch this movie.

I do think Jessica Lange is a good choice. She's playing a girl acting as someone opposite from who she really is and she's being dramatic about a lot of dialogue. But, I don't think of Jessica Lange when I think of Blanche per se. It would be a fun prequel to watch to see how Blanche got here.

Alec being Stanley is eh. The anger in this isn't as crazy as it could be. Although he looks the closest to how I would visualize Stanley from all the Stanleys. I feel like Blanche is the only person with a character in this movie. But, also she seems weird compared to everyone else. Idk Sally sucks too.

Poor Mitch because he really was so happy with Blanche.

The opposite of desire being death is crazy to me. How will Stella go on?

Spider-Man (2002) dir. Sam Raimi. 7.9/10

I would recommend this movie to my friends. I would rewatch this movie.

What a classic of a movie. So good. I feel this is peak superhero movie of the 2000s. It's perfectly got down the coming of age in 2000s america as a white guy but also like a coming of age of becoming a superhero in an age when not everyone is a superhero. Bro, the spider exhibits are cool. albeit i wouldn't be enjoying looking at them in person. The shit's Oscorp is up to is cool though. omg seeing og Aunt May and Uncle Ben is so good. Honestly, gaining perfect vision is such a thing to be envious of. Macy Gray, yuhh WIllem is such a good actor.

What a terrible bus driver. Peter is a nerd though. Uncle Ben really died for no reason except to be a catalyst. She straight up cheated by making out with Spiderman.

Peter and M.J. being neighbors is crazy. An open public cage match like that is crazy. Giving Spiderman a trolley problem is crazy.

lol at how Peter just replies with okay thanks about acting strangely.

승부 (2025) dir. 김형주. The Match (2025) dir. Kim Hyung-joo. 7.4/10

I wouldn't recommend this movie to my friends. I wouldn't rewatch this movie.

Having this amount of pride as a kid is new to me. What's it like to be a literal prodigy? Instead of just a kid that's smarter than others in their grade. To train with the best for so long is so much pressure. It's hard when teachers have more of an expectation than to just teach. To hone myself in one craft for this long is so impressive. Could actually never be me.

I'm glad we're trying to teach this kid correctly and make him grow up with character and respect. We love the sauna. I do love Chang Ho trying to find his own play of Go. Playing with all white stones is cool. I do think it's fun when they make movies thrilling about something that doesn't seem that thrilling.

Wow Yoo Ah In looks like himself but like idk less made up.

I can't with the face acupuncture.

I, the Executioner (2024) dir. Ryoo Seung Wan. 베테랑2 (2024) dir. 류승완. 7.4/10

I wouldn't recommend this movie to my friends. I wouldn't rewatch this movie.

Jung Hae In isn't really my type, but he's cute here whenever he be seeming innocent. or even when his crazy starts showing but he still acts as if he's just doing normal things. I felt similarly between this and Veteran, but I think Veteran was slightly better. esp. in how much I like Hwang Jung Min.

Bending that umbrella is crazy. Throwing Hwang Jung Min onto the truck is crazy.

I want to know more about Ahn Bo Hyun's character's story. I like seeing this non-verbal but scared but also strong Ahn Bo Hyun. This action sequence in the rain is so fun with Ahn Bo Hyun. Hwang Jung Min putting himself as cover between the falling metal and editor justice is great.

We just gonna let the son drink from the refrigerator water like that.

심연의 하늘. Distant Sky. 7.4/10

I wouldn't recommend this manhwa to my friends. I wouldn't reread this manwha.

Season 1-3

What a great apocalypse concept. I love the drawing style.

These bugs are not it. Couldn't be me.

So, why exactly do the people above ground not want survivors? Wtf was that ending?

Omg not Jae Ah's mom still wanting the heart. Not the surface world being radioactive.

I can't believe there's a ladder this long. I can't believe we just had to keep forgetting our memories and bringing it back ourselves.

Season 4

I do like the color contrasts. I like how we reunited with the ladder girl.

Season 5

How can that Bit Nara's skin get better like that in Jeju. Sus.

도태교실. Selection Class. 7.6/10

I would recommend this manhwa to my friends. I wouldn't reread this manhwa.

Lmaoo at the mustache glasses prop. That was a cute scene. Even when we flashback to it, still good.

Why is Miso wearing underwear like that under her uniform for everyone to see? How do I feel about Jo Hyun Sang's death? Both unfortunate and deserved.

I personally love Miso. I respect Joyee's need to apologize. I like Miso and Yoo Yi's drinking conversation at the funeral.

Yoo Yi jumping into Miso's house is crazy. Miso destroying Kwanwoo's penis is crazy.

Yooyi sleeping with Miso makes sense to me. It would've felt unsettled if that didn't happen, although I was like don't do it.

물위의 우리. us on the water. 7.4/10 Didn't finish. Ch. 1-74.

I wouldn't recommend this webtoon to my friends. I wouldn't reread this webtoon.

Han Byul is soooo tiny. It's soo cute. Lmaoo at Han Byul's look being compared to her dad. Lol at Han Byul fishing while crying and everyone is cheering her on. Ch. 13 was good. Everyone's slippers at the door. Everyone crying and smiling over cookies and bubbles. HanByul having so many wish good. It's so good.

oh my god at James's floofliness disappearing. I can't believeeeeeeeeeee the terror attack on Jamsil.

A Streetcar Named Desire (1984) dir. John Erman. 7/10

I wouldn't recommend this movie to my friends. I wouldn't rewatch this movie.

Blanche's first convo while drinking when she arrives, I just wouldn't want to greet a sister like this. Nothing really wrong with her, just like, not the personality for me. Stanley's anger is like just simmering underneath always or something, because it just comes out of nowhere. I don't like Blanche's seduction. Taking Blanche at the end is p terrible. This acting is too dramatic.

I wonder how truthful any of the thoughts or stories are in here.

I like Marlon Brando's rendition of this character better. He doesn't seem as viscerally smart in this one.

All About My Wife (2012) dir. Min Kyu-dong. 내 아내의 모든 것 (2012) dir. 민규동. 7.4/10

I wouldn't recommend this movie to my friends. I wouldn't rewatch this movie.

I know the safest place in Japan? I'm not following you, sir. I couldn't live with Jung In as my wife either. lifestyle wise. but personality wise, I cant live with Doo Hyun as my husband. Ew, I don't like any of the male talk. I don't like the women talk either in a diff way. I don't love this milking. I don't like this mouth interaction with the fish.

But, why is Jung in working so hard to be a good wife?

I really didn't know the vibe of this movie was gonna be so doofy.

Sung Ki's hobbies are wild.

Similar base concept as The Trunk.

나 없는 단톡방. A Group Chatroom Without Me. 7.4/10

I wouldn't recommend this manhwa to my friends. I wouldn't reread this manhwa.

Uncle is such a good guy. Ally. Team player. Wife him up. This revenge felt so hard core ngl. Her character growth is wild. I like Min Sung. I like Jae Won too.

I don't understand any of the logistics of how we can access these group chats.

It's crazy to see Hyo In's personality transformation at how more confident she gets in what she does.

Dajung is eh.

Veteran (2015) dir. Ryoo Seung Wan. 베테랑 (2015) dir. 류승완. 7.4/10

I wouldn't recommend this movie to my friends. I wouldn't rewatch this movie.

Once again, Hwang Jung Min is so hot. We love a smart wife. I do enjoy Miss Bong fighting.

I hate the putting the food on the girls. Jo Tae Oh isn't like that evil evil, but I still dislike him. I am not taking the fall for anyone. I can't with women groveling to men like Tae Oh while knowing what he's like.

Noo at newbie being stabbed. Nooooooooooo at dog being beat.

Ma Dong Seok's role is so random. I thought he was gonna do something.

This was a fun movie, but I just didn't care about anyone enough.

Spirited Away (2001) dir. Hayao Miyazaki. 8.1/10

I would recommend this movie to my friends. I would rewatch this movie.

Chihiro holding the flowers in the car in the beginning is such a vibe. Good music. The bathhouse is so iconic. Why does it look so good? Such good colors. Such good character designs. I love the frog workers, the soot, the giant ducks, the bouncing heads, baby as mouse, and dragon Haku. I love the star candy. The ocean is beautiful. The visuals are so beautiful.

I want a compendium of all the creatures in this universe.

아는 사람. 7.5/10

I wouldn't recommend this manhwa to my friends. I wouldn't reread this manhwa.

I love the mood and vibe of this manhwa. Chacha is p cute. Ugh, Yaeeun running with her dad is so beautiful. Young Jungwoo's words to ahjussi is so lovely when he wanted to commit suicide. What a fun group. Nice webtoon.

Howl's Moving Castle (2004) dir. Hayao Miyazaki. ハウルの動く城 (2004) dir. 宮崎 駿. 7.8/10

I would recommend this movie to my friends. I would rewatch this movie.

The music truly is so good. I like every creature design here. Damn at the majesty of Howl's cape. Damn at all the vehicle designs. What a cool door. Calcifer really is so cute. Wife up Turnip with that umbrella and when it tries braking the speeding house. I would love the secret garden door.

Sophie taking it real well that she's old now. Sophie cleaning is so wild. Mom recognizing Sophie is wild.

I wanna know more about Markl's backstory.

실미도 (2003) dir. 강우석. Silmido (2003) dir. Kang Woo suk. 7.5/10

I wouldn't recommend this movie to my friends. I wouldn't rewatch this movie.

The concept of soldiers is actually so wild to think about sometimes, like how all these countries be having so many people do all this. Enduring the branding is so crazy. Entering the water after being branded is crazy too.

All the training is fun to watch. It feels intense and cool.

Damn at falling off the rope bridge. Not the going down the porta potty.
