2024 Media
Welcome to my 2024 Media page!

This page is a log of all of the media I watched/played/etc. in the year 2024.
I'm not a professional critic by any means so all of my "scores" and thoughts written are very subjective and based on my own experiences, not how good the media is in a general sense.
JANUARY
Trolls Band Together
Jan 9th

Started the year strong. . .
My sister (who is too old to be into Trolls) is very into Trolls so at a certain point I just HAD to watch it. I actually think the Trolls movies are pretty good, for a kids movie, so I enjoyed it more than I expected. I think the art in particular is pretty great! Fun enough.

AI: The Somnium Files
- Nirvana Initiative -
Jan 23rd

Crazy ass game... I played the first one in 2023 and it was a massive headache to say the least... It's fun in a bad way but also bad in a bad way. . .
I liked it a lot less than the first, and the plot twist at the end was just confusing. Still was fun to be frustrated about it though.

D4DJ Tiering
MuniRei t10 & dt1
Jan 25th - Feb 1st

SNB SWEEEEP!!!!
You can read my tiering letter here.
I absolutely LOVE to tier relationship events, and since so many friends from my tiering server SNB wanted to tier it I had to join in. It was a relatively uneventful tiering experience, which is always nice, and I'm glad to add another t10 to my list!
FEBRUARY
Final Destination 3
Feb 2nd


My friends and I have been binging all the Final Destination movies together!!! It's been a lot of fun to laugh at the bad special effects and try and guess how each new character will meet their demise... This movie was a bit better than others, but had a lazy ending.

( 7 / 10 )
The Final Destination
Feb 2nd


ANOTHER ONE!!! It was a long night. This one was ASS though : (
Halfway through watching we realized it was a 3D movie so from that point onwards we would just point and yell "3D!!!" every time a bad 3D effect appeared on screen. That was the only good part ngl.

Kabukimonogatari:
Mayoi Jiangshi
Feb 10th

If you would like to read my longer review please visit here.
I generally didn't enjoy the time travel plot but Araragi and Shinobu had some interesting conversations and it was fun reading them try to understand different timelines and think of a way out. Pretty good.

( 8 / 10 )
Hanamonogatari:
Suruga Devil
Feb 10th

If you would like to read my longer review please visit here.
I enjoyed this arc MUCH more when reading it, which is strange. Kanbaru is such an amazing character and I don't think I appreciated her enough when first going through the anime. I'm glad I got to re-experience it!

( 9 / 10 )
Otorimonogatari:
Nadeko Snake
Feb 15th

If you would like to read my longer review please visit here.
Ah... this is one half my favorite Monogatari arc so it was such a pleasure to read. Nadeko as a narrator is so unsettling it's amazing. I love what NISIOISIN does with all the different narration styles.

( 10 / 10 )
Onimonogatari:
Shinobu Time
Feb 15th

If you would like to read my longer review please visit here.
Rude as hell to use Shinobu for the name and have her on the title but to barely include her... This one was a slog. Too much weird fanservice and the storytelling style used was a headache to get through.

( 6 / 10 )
Persona 3: Reload
Feb 18th

An amazing and much deserved remake of an already amazing original game. While I enjoyed playing P3FES years ago it and its characters never stuck with me, so I was glad to be given a chance to revisit it and enjoy it more this time around. The changes made were great (although I think additional ones should have been made..), loved it!

( 10 / 10 )
MARCH
着信アリ (One Missed Call)
Mar 2nd


In my mind Japanese movies aren't the greatest... this movie didn't do much to prove that wrong. It's a horror movie but barely had any scares, had a boring plot and twist, and the acting was pretty meh. It wasn't even fun bad, my friends kept falling asleep and I couldn't help but pull out my phone.

( 5 / 10 )
Final Destination 5
Mar 2nd


The final Final Destination?? Apparently not, there's another one coming later this year... It was actually pretty good? I didn't like how much more personal conflict it had (just get to the gore already) but the ending was pretty good?? It was cheesy but cool... Best one besides the first.

( 8 / 10 )
The Empire of Corpses
Mar 5th

So my friend wanted to show me this movie specifically because she said it was so weird and bad and just a total trip of an experience... well, she was right! It's just another one of those "Japanese author is obsessed with Western stories" kinda shows where suddenly Victor Frankenstein and Sherlock Holmes and... former president of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant, are in the same room? It was just weird and not very fun to watch besides poking fun at it. Zombie yaoi was cool though.

( 4 / 10 )
Heavenly Delusion
Mar 15th

I *really* enjoyed Heavenly Delusion. This show had been on my radar for a long time but I was waiting for it to finish airing since I'm more into "slow binging" lately! Not binging all at once but instead spacing it out over a week or two, usually 1-2 eps a day. Anyways, the story isn't finished so I wanna hold off on a plot inspection but I love the main two and can't wait to see where this story goes. There was some stuff I'm not sure about yet and I hope the LGBT themes continue to be "good", only time will tell. PLEASE get s2, either way I'll be reading!

( 8 / 10 )
Pokémon Concierge
Mar 16th


One of the CUTEST things I have ever watched. I'm not even a diehard Pokémon fan but I am in love. I really needed something cozy and cute right now and this was absolutely perfect. Very happy to hear they'll be making more, I can't wait!

( 10 / 10 )
The Great Mouse Detective
Mar 22nd
I watch very random things with this friend... I do have a desire to go back and watch more Disney movies I never saw/saw once and forgot about (Jungle Book, The Rescuers, Hunchback, Hercules, etc...), especially when they are a big part of the current zeitgeist. So this may have been an unofficial start to that journey! It was cute, we joked about mouse yaoi, nothing more.

( 8 / 10 )
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End
Mar 28th
Bawling my eyes out, what do I have in my life now that Frieren ended??? I'll start the manga, reading it veeery slowly because whenever a new season is announced, I may wait for it so I can watch blind. It was AMAZING. Frieren 100% reeled me back into anime. I'm going to miss it dearly, can't wait for more. Ending dragged the tiniest bit (exam arcs...) but it was perfection.

( 10 / 10 )
The Bear
Mar 29th
I forget how much I enjoy Western TV until I watch it and am like "wow, anime could never" (or... rarely does). The Bear was a really interesting show, throwing me into a world I know very little about (cooking!). Much like Succession I feel like some of the lines got me thinking "nobody speaks like that" but it wasn't as bad lol. I'm invested now, can't wait for more.

( 8 / 10 )
Rilakkuma to Yuuenchi
Mar 31st
I really enjoyed the original series so it was time to watch the sequel!! I didn't like it as much as the first one though... the OG was much more laid back, about SOL antics, but this one was about a sole day in an amusement park. It felt a bit more crowded and focused on a lot of characters and moments I didn't care about. But it was Rilakkuma, so ofc it was cute.

( 7 / 10 )
APRIL
D4DJ Tiering
KuruMiiko t10
April 15th - 20th

This was the final relationship style event in D4DJ, my favorite event type.
Relationship events focus on 2 characters (contrary to the usual 4+) which means the scale is a lot smaller, AKA less money. D4DJ has been going in a strange direction and this was a pretty sad finale. I had to tier it as a thanks to this event type, and KuruMiiko are a cute pair.
The Phantom Menace
April 29th


My father and I have begun to watch the Star Wars movie together across the ocean... I watched Star Wars when I was little but can't remember much so this will be fun to revisit!
I enjoyed this movie a lot and thought it was a fun way to start my journey. Knowing where little Annie is headed is sad but really exciting to watch.

( 9 / 10 )
Death on the Nile
April 30th


I don't watch many murder mystery movies so this was fun! My friend is into the books and wanted to watch them as a group. It was just a bunch of rich people yelling at each other but it was fun to watch and the ending was a cool twist. I enjoyed it.


( 8 / 10 )
MAY
The Strangers
May 22nd


It was just bad... I did not even enjoy it as a "it's so bad it's good" kinda movie. The relationship between the main two was annoyingly vauge and I think they tried to hard to be mysterious to the point it just made the movie boring since you didn't know any motivations. Bad.


( 3 / 10 )
Attack of the Clones
May 22nd


This one felt like a bit of a slog to get through, but still enjoyable. Some of the fights were a bit slow and Anakin PISSED ME OFF. I don't know if it was so bad it was funny or if he was just awful, it's undecided.



( 8 / 10 )
Smiling Friends
May 29th


Technically it's an ongoing series, but I binged season 1 and most of season 2 within a night so I'll count that as finishing something. I was a bit worried it'd be too "lol random" or "it's funny that we're saying horrible things" but it was a lot better than I thought.


( 9 / 10 )
JUNE
Furiosa
June 3rd


I have never seen a Mad Max movie but my friend likes it and this was the newest one in theatres..! I enjoyed it a lot, Furiosa was a cool character and I enjoyed the way the movie moved and was cut into different eras of her life. Also her boyfriend was really attractive.


( 8 / 10 )
Phantom Thread
June 7th


My friend is super into the lead actor and director so we had a little movie night... This movie was really interesting! My friends and I have always gathered to watch shitty movies so it was nice to watch something good. This is truly the most toxic hetero couple of all time.


( 10 / 10 )
Murder on the Orient Express
June 8th


The next (or... first?) movie in this Agatha Christie series. I liked this one about the same as Death on the Nile, the twist was a little more fun but the middle portion was a bit more of a slog to sit through. I wasn't too interested in the characters but I got swept back in by the end.


( 8 / 10 )
Revenge of the Sith
June 9th


My favorite Star Wars movie by far. I did have to split it into two different watchings since sometimes space talk and space fight makes me sleepy but I also am not a movie watcher in general so... not the fault of the movie. Knowing his background will make it fun to watch Vader be an evil space guy, I'm excited for 4-6 now.

( 10 / 10 )
KNY Swordsmith Village Arc
June 13th


Took an accidental 3ish year break from KNY but I'm finally back!!! This is one of my favorite arcs (compared to my foggy memory of the previous) and I really liked both the Hashira that got the spotlight. Also no Inosuke and Zenitsu was peak. The ending was really tense and I'm excited for the next season.

( 8 / 10 )
Dungeon Meshi
June 14th


Can't believe it's over... the anime that got me back into anime (kinda)...
I loved every moment of Dungeon Meshi, the characters and world are so amazing. I can't wait for more! I'm tempted to read the manga but since s2 is already announced I'll try to be patient and wait since it's such a joy to watch.

( 10 / 10 )
NieR Replicant
June 15th


:) What an amazing game... I wrote a whole twitter thread about it so I'll be brief here. It didn't grab me as much as Automata did which is a shame, but Replicant stands on its own as a strong game. I love the characters and world a lot. Emil is only second to 9s by a smidge.

( 10 / 10 )
Poltergeist (2015)
June 17th


Horrible movie. Not even "so bad it's good" which is a shame since I love those... the characters were very frustratng to watch. The father in particular was horrible. Terrible Dad... I wish I could get this time back.

( 2 / 10 )
The Phantom of the Opera
June 21st


I liked it way more than I wish I did. The Phantom (or "OG" as he calls himself!) is a scary groomer but damn he has a sexy voice and is also played by a sexy man. Which is honestly very unfitting, even the director was like "nah, he needed to be older and creepier". The music is awesome and it's been stuck in my head for a week after.
( 7 / 10 )
There Will be Blood
June 22st


Same director/actor as Phantom Thread so it was cool to see good ole Danny D. in a very different role. I really enjoyed it. I usually watch trash with my friends so it's always fun to sit down and experience something that doesn't make me wanna tear my hair out.

( 10 / 10 )
JULY
A Quiet Place Day One
Jul 2nd


I was expecting it to be a cheap horror with lots of jumpscares, but it was a surprisingly touching story of platonic love. The chemistry between the main two characters was very sweet. It was a good mixture between horror and heartwarming. Also that cat was amazing.

( 9 / 10 )
Cars 2
Jul 11th





Yeah it was bad.





( 2 / 10 )
The Favourite
Jul 15th


I got a random itch to watch something I knew little about beforehand and this movie did not dissapoint. Absolutely insane beef and tension in this movie, loved it.



( 9 / 10 )
NieR ver 1.1a
Jul 15th


I don't think the anime is a replacement for the game in ANY sense, although I don't think it was trying to be. I dislike the changes they made and still think the game is a MUCH better experience, but looking at it purely as additional fan content it's not so bad.

( 6 / 10 )
The Watchers
Jul 16th


I went in with oddly high expectations which were not met in the slightest. All of the characters acted like idiots and I hated how everyone had to speak their baggage or history too plainly. Interesting lore and cool twist but overall, not great.


( 5 / 10 )
V/H/S
Jul 23rd


Only liked a few.. My ranking:
1. 10/31/98
2. Second Honeymoon
3. Amateur Night
4. The Sick Thing That Happened to Emily When She Was Younger
5. Tuesday the 17th
6. Tape 55

A New Hope
Jul 23rd



That Vader guy is a real dick, what's his deal?





( 9 / 10 )
The Empire Strikes Back
Jul 26th


Been told this is one of the best SW movies and I can see why. Constantly engaging (some haven't been fully...) and woah what a twist! Han is starting to get on my nerves though...



( 9 / 10 )
Return of the Jedi
Jul 27th




Weird start but I really enjoyed this one! What a great way to end the series, there's nothing after this right?




( 9 / 10 )
Deadpool & Wolverine
Jul 28th


I really liked it... I'm easily sucked in by this kinda stuff, I've really enjoyed all of the previous Deadpool movies as well. I didn't get a lot of the references so that was a bit of a bummer but it was really fun!


( 9 / 10 )
AUGUST
The Bear s3
Aug 22nd


Rough... I went in already a bit worried since the reception wasn't great and... yeah... they were right...

Too much Fak! 0 character growth! What was this season for? For everyone to just be as they were in s2 and never change? What happened this season!!!!

( 5 / 10 )
Back to the Future II
Aug 22nd


WHY DOES EVERYONE IN THIS MOVIE SUCK. I did not remember Marty being so insufferable but maybe they dialed it up. Some very funny moments so overall I enjoyed it... but god it just kept going. I thought it was ending like 5 times.


( 7 / 10 )
Hitagi End
Aug 23rd


If you would like to read my longer review please visit HERE.
It's the ending of my favorite arc! Rereading this just solidified how much I love Nadeko... She has stolen the "number 2 favorite" spot from Shinobu, who has somehow seemed to get worse the more I revisit...

( 10 / 10 )
Yotsugi Doll
Aug 23rd


If you would like to read my longer review please visit HERE.
It was alright. Kinda just the middle (mid, one could say) of the line for enjoyment within Monogatari novels for me. Nothing special but not bad either.

Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence
Aug 25th


My friend described this movie as the "gay twink David Bowie prisoner of war movie" and I mean that was pretty spot on. I'm not into war movies so this was a bit of a different experience for me, but the OST was godly and I enjoyed some parts.


( 7 / 10 )
Back to the Future III
Aug 28th


It was Doc's turn to be the annoying little shit this time! I think I liked each movie less and less, but overall they were all pretty fun. Love that 80's/90's humor... sometimes. Fun ending and I feel like a complete human now that I've seen all three.


( 7 / 10 )
Genshin - "Bedtime Story"
Aug 28th


This one was meh, and I think that'll slowly start to be the norm for me as I drift further and further away from understanding Genshin lore... I wasn't as attached to Caribert as everyone else seemed to be. Excited for Natlan though!


( 5 / 10 )
SEPTEMBER
The Host
Sept 8th


It's always a delight when I find another "top XX" movie- I LOVED this!
I usually don't get super invested in horror because of how often the genre pumps out cheap shitty films but man I was so invested. What an insane family. I was nearly in tears several times. I loved this movie.


( 10 / 10 )
Beetlejuice
Sept 8th


I've SEEN Beetlejuice in my childhood but because of how much I had forgotten it truly felt like a first watch. I forgot how... strange it is, but it was fun. I watched in preparation for the new movie coming out soon, I'm excited!


( 8 / 10 )
Gravity Falls
Sept 10th


I felt compelled one quiet afternoon to binge all of Gravity Falls...
I watched when I was a kid but stopped only a few episodes short of the finale (?? idk why...) so I wanted to rewatch it all and then complete the series.

I liked it! Good stuff. Sorry, Mabel does suck sometimes though.

( 7 / 10 )
Late Night with the Devil
Sept 22nd


Really cool spin on the "found footage" genre, but there was just too much wrong it it. AI images..? In my movie?!

It was also a lot of "tell, don't show"... I though the mystery could have been done a lot better, the ending was basically a speedrun of every answer.

( 3 / 10 )
Genshin - Natlan AQ Act I & II
Sept 25th


Great intro to Natlan! They really made me care about Kachina and the other champions which I wasn't expecting.

Capitano... ough... I need you...

Currently Mavuika isn't really interesting to me but we'll see.

( 8 / 10 )
OCTOBER
Parkour Civilization
Oct 3rd


So I got #hospitalized and the only thing I could bring myself to do was watch this YT series. Which was SURPRISINGLY REALLY GOOD? I got very invested in the lore. I want to watch PvP Civilization now...


( 10 / 10 )
Challengers
Oct 4th


I had this on my PTW list for a loooong time... What a strange movie! I was absolutely hooked though. The music was insane and really sucked you in (although it was sometimes a bit too much, lmao). They all suck bad! I love messy drama!


( 9 / 10 )
Poor Things
Oct 5th


?????

A little fucked up, yeah!
What an odd movie. I watched it deep in my sickness which didn't help. It looked amazing, but I feel like I'm going to be digesting this story for a long time.


( 9 / 10 )
2001: A Space Odyssey
Oct 5th


Yeah, going from Poor Things to this back-to-back was an experience.
Going though all the classics while I'm stuck at home sick!

What a trippy and claustraphobic movie... I enjoyed it.


( 10 / 10 )
Lord of the Rings I
Oct 5th


Haven't seen these since I was ~12 so it was very fun to revisit!

Really cool stuff and it was nostalgic coming back to this world. I'm interested if I can STAY interested for an entire trilogy though...

La La Land

Really cute... I needed something uplifting after my psychological horror bend (see above)...

Sad ending :( but the music was banging (although not as much as I thought it would?) and it looked beautiful!


( 8 / 10 )
Wish
Oct 6th


Mehhh? It took a minute for the artstyle to grow on me but it did. The music was very mid and the characters felt super flat. It felt like they wanted to smush as many Disney references as they could in without much thought for the actual story. Cute...?


( 6 / 10 )
Jojo Rabbit
Oct 6th


I wasn't sure what to expect going in but walked out with my heart broken... Such an enjoyable movie, the acting was great and it had a very appealing editing style and general feel.



( 9 / 10 )
Black Swan
Oct 7th


Great psychological horror! I love when a horror movie can actual freak me out, it's such a good feeling. The camera shakiness was a little much sometimes lol, I felt a bit nauseous. I liked the ending although it was pretty obvious.

The Grand Budapest Hotel

Such an AMAZING movie. It's in my top 4 of all time! So fun and whimsical. If you hate this movie you are an enemy of whimsy and joy.




( 10 / 10 )
Gone Girl
Oct 8th


WOW what a wild movie. I somehow didn't know the twist so I was shaken when it suddenly happened. It was an extremely chilling ending too... I feel like it's only GREAT upon a first watch because I ended up rewatching it and a bit of the charm was gone...


( 9.5 / 10 )
Signs
Oct 9th


A bit of a sad departure to my streak of "holy shit that was amazing" movie run. I heard great things and it had a good first half but I wasn't too into the second half. The characters were pretty uninteresting and everyone acting really odd. More tension could have been nice.


( 6 / 10 )
Genshin - Natlan AQ Act III
Oct 10th


WOW. Really great. I didn't think Natlan could get close to Fontaine but this is looking good. Having to tell NPCs they'll be remembered after they die is pretty grim shit. A death count toll? Wow. The balloon shit was a little cheesy but overall... good.


( 10 / 10 )
The Vanishing
Oct 12th


This might just be the creepiest film I've ever seen. Is now in my top 4 of all time. That ending is true horror... Such an interesting way to show the true and quiet horror of losing a loved one to kidnapping.

How far would you go to find out the truth?

( 10 / 10 )
The Martian
Oct 13th


Really liked it! Very heartwarming. Sometimes the dialogue was a bit ridiculous though. Snippy and witty "nerd talk" is one of my ultimate icks in movies. But overall, it looked beautiful and it was a fun story about the triumphs of humanity.


( 8 / 10 )
Knives Out
Oct 14th


This movie was so fun!!! All of the characters were so interesting and Marta was such a compelling lead. The puzzle pieces slid into place so satisfyingly and I was wonderfully whipped around by every new twist.

Glass Onion
Oct 19th


PEAK... It would be disingenuous to give this movie anything less than a 10/10 with the amount of times I actually gasped out loud. The fakeout death near the end was about to make me cry, AHH. I like the first one more but this was great.


( 10 / 10 )
Pearl
Oct 22nd


it was pretty cool... I accidentally hyped this movie up to myself WAY too muich but just kinda regularly enjoyed it which made it feel more disappointing than it actually was. I should have watched them in order, that was my mistake...

Bottoms
Oct 24th


I saw a twitter clip and just dove in. I love Ayo Edebiri so much so that elevated the experience a lot. Fuck PJ though GOD her character was insufferable, and not in a cute quirky way. I think if I watched this as a sad gay teen it would have meant a lot to me, but at this point... it was just okay.


( 6 / 10 )
Fight Club
Oct 24th


Somehow didn't have the twist of this movie spoiled for me so... WOW that was an experience. I had no idea what this film was about in the slightest so I really enjoyed the experience. Upon initial finish I wasn't sure how I felt but I've reflected and think it's a damn good movie.

Hocus Pocus
Oct 26th


Halloween is near!!! This was watched as a middle ground between my friend group who LOVES shitty gorey horror and our one friend needing something a little more PG... People always talked very fondly about watching this movie as a kid, but I never had seen it, so it's nice to see what the hype was about! Very cute.

Pulse
Nov 2nd


Can I just claim my prize for seeing this movie and being obsessed with the himbo MC before twitter was.
I WAS FIRST!!!!!

The concepts of ghosts "running out of space" and spilling over was cool. Lots of cool early 2000's tech horror. Cool use of sound and white noise!

( 8.5 / 10 )
Venom
Nov 5th


I have no idea what compelled me to watch a SUPERHERO movie by myself. But uh... I think I like this movie for different reasons than most probably do... cough cough Symbrock.

Maybe the key to me liking superhero movies is to just watch the ones people call bad?

Venom: Let There Be Carnage
Nov 7th


NOOO... it was not great. The villain was so fucking stupid and I cringed at all of his emo dialogue with his emo girlfriend. Venom and Eddie were pretty awesome though. Also it has the "coming out of the Eddie closet" scene which is peak.


( 6 / 10 )
D&D Movie
Nov 9th


I watched this with my D&D group which was an added layer of fun! A lot cuter than I thought, I think taking a goofy approach was the right move opposed to taking itself too seriously. All of the characters (besides bard bastard and kinda annoying "tiefling") were super charming. Too long though.


( 7.5 / 10 )
Look Back

Yeah... that was awesome...

I'm not an artist so I can't relate to this film as deeply as some seem to, but man it was beautiful. Looked and sounded amazing. Yeah I teared up a few times so what.

X
Nov 9th


Yeah... I didn't like it very much. Maybe this whole trilogy isn't my thing. Figuring out the woman was Pearl was kinda cool but aside from that...? I think the concept of Mia Goth playing 3 roles across 3 movies that are kinda connected is cool but... I guess we'll see how I feel about MaXXXine.

Venom: The Last Dance
Nov 10th


THAT DAMN POSTER... 'TIL DEATH DO THEY PART... I'M CRYING!!!

I won't forget you buddy...

Echoes of Wisdom

Oh my GOD I finished a VIDEO GAME?

Arcane s2
Nov 25th


I liked it! I'm not an Arcane or LoL mega-fan like many others so I wasn't too happy or unhappy with it as a final season. I feel like it was a good series that stumbled a bit towards the end (felt rushed..) but was consistently BEAUTIFUL and I hope we can get more shows that look like this.

The main character was insufferable but somehow I still enjoyed this movie quite a bit... The finale was so cool. So many cool effects and the music was amazing but some of the character interactions were cringe.

I dunno why but this movie really hit me hard. I think every feeling is elevated x10 when you're in a movie theatre, I DON'T KNOW, but I was sobbing at the end.

Wayyy too much going on. We didn't need the 4 seperate plot threads that messily join together. I have a feeling they're going to make a third and final film so I wish they saved some for the finale...

Sonic the Hedgehog
Dec 16th


I'm glad the kids of the 2020s have their own Alvin and The Chipmunks-esque movie...

I didn't know Sonic was gonna be like... a sad little child. That was surprising. Charming. Also damn Eggman and his assistant were gay.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Dec 16th


I watched this on a plane... I had no idea what was going on and was unable to go to Google for support... I don't think I know enough about Hollywood history to enjoy this film, so that was a mistake... Crazy ass ending lmao.

I LOVE BREAKING BAD!!!

I had been waiting to watch this movie for a LONG time and my hype for it built up a bit too much... It was good but didn't feel needed, so it felt kinda weird. Never going to complain about more BrBa/BCS universe content though.

TSA propaganda is a thing, I guess.

Wicked

WHAT A WAY TO CLOSE THE YEAR!!!

I LOVED Wicked as a child but forgot like 90% of the plot so this was an amazing reintroduction to the story. Visuals were beautiful, music was amazing, acting was perfect... I teared up many times. I wish it wasn't 2 parter but I see why.

Thank you for scrolling to the bottom!

2024 was a weird year. If I didn't get extremely ill and decide to become a movie buff at the end of the year this would be a very empty page.
It's a bit odd to have the goal of "consuming more media" but in 2025 I want to continue to expand my horizons and experience new films, games, tv shows, books, and more! I love the feeling of finding a new favorite, it's always a nice reminder that there's more amazing experiences to be found and I can continue to be happy and love more things!
Here's to 2025!
