Bryson goes out of his way to belly ache and moan like a modern Ignatius J. Reilly. Some of his hyperbolic storytelling is just too far out and left me saying β€œthat obviously didn’t happen”

finished reading Born Standing Up: A Comic's Life πŸŒ•πŸŒ•πŸŒ•πŸŒ—πŸŒ‘

finished watching Backrooms πŸŒ•πŸŒ•πŸŒ•πŸŒ—πŸŒ‘
I love a surreal feel, but this felt undercooked

finished watching Mad Max 2 πŸŒ•πŸŒ•πŸŒ•πŸŒ•πŸŒ—
Lots of fun. Great cinematography. A few good twists.

finished watching Independence Day: Resurgence πŸŒ•πŸŒ—πŸŒ‘πŸŒ‘πŸŒ‘
Dumb action movie with dumb dialogue

finished watching Mad Max πŸŒ•πŸŒ•πŸŒ•πŸŒ‘πŸŒ‘
A fun one. Maximalist score worked about 1/2 of the tine.
-0.5 for having Jesse play saxophone

finished watching Toy Story 4 πŸŒ•πŸŒ•πŸŒ•πŸŒ•πŸŒ‘
So good at sticking to the themes. What does it mean to be lost? What do we mean when we say trash?

finished watching Deathtrap πŸŒ•πŸŒ•πŸŒ•πŸŒ‘πŸŒ‘
Fun twists and reversals.
Really wordy Aaron Sorkin-esque. Boring cinematography. Goofy lightning flashes.

finished watching The Slumber Party Massacre πŸŒ•πŸŒ•πŸŒ•πŸŒ—πŸŒ‘
Subverts expectations. Playful. Clever meta-contextual references. Clearly inspired Scream.

finished watching Class of 1984 πŸŒ•πŸŒ—πŸŒ‘πŸŒ‘πŸŒ‘
After school special-esque but trashy. Class Of 1999 is so much better than this.
