Boogie Nights, 1997 - ★★½ (contains spoilers)

This review may contain spoilers. 

why…

IDK there were just too many questions I was left with.  Weird movie, I do not get why. Why was this made? What was the point? fun movie, just not what i expected based on the movie & PTA’s reps. Very weird movie.

I just feel like even a tiny little moment of introspection from Amber Waves where she ponders how she can call a boy her son while having sex and doing coke with him could have been beneficial. Throughout the movie, there were multiple moments where if characters just questioned themselves for a tiny second, there would be a better impact. Instead, the movie seems vapid. It was fun, sure, but to not address all the mess that happened in it is so weird to me. And some things, Idk their relevance at all. Betty Barnett, useless character. Why do we care about her husband, Raymond?

I did like how Amber Waves was becoming a director, I feel like that could have also been addressed. Basically, I hate how the movie glosses over a lot of things that would be important, but gives a lot of time to the sex and violence. And I’d say it’s a meta reference to pornography itself but that’s giving PTA too much credit lol. - Letterboxd

Elvis, 2022 - ★★★★★

Baz Luhrmann, you are my guy 4L. What an awesome movie. I'm sickened by the level of greatness that movie possessed. But I mean, who can be surprised? This was a Baz Luhrmann film after all. Austin Butler put his SOUL into his performance as Elvis Presley. What a beautiful film. Super duper kudos to the whole cast and crew. And I give a special shoutout to makeup as well as the editing crew. They did their thing! I know some will have complaints about the extravagance of the film, but 1) it's about Elvis, what did you expect? and 2) It's a Baz Luhrmann film, what did you expect? Baz Luhrmann was the perfect guy to make an Elvis movie, he completely gets how to put on a show, just like EP himself. - Letterboxd http://dlvr.it/STHvDQ

Vogue: An Ode To The Marc Jacobs The Tote Bag

  This image is from the Vogue article,  An Ode To The Marc Jacobs The Tote Bag . I think it's such a lovely photo. I bought my own MJ tote bag today, yasss! It is so beautiful!!! I got The Small Tote Bag in Black . After tax, it cost 210.60. I only have 9.33 left lol. I have 30 more bucks on the way, but 39.33 still isn't much. This summer I have  to get a job. I want more Marc Jacobs tote bags. I also want clothes, so I really need the money. My odd jobs are inconsistent so I can't rely on that to buy bags which cost over 200 after tax. Now, here are some general updates: - Today, I watched Brightburn, as well as Sparky and Micaela and Hamster PSA, so that's 3 more parts of James Gunn's filmography I've completed. - Right now, I am watching Movie 43. I really like it! This is so funny lol.
