Liverpool (Alonso, 2008). It was very good. I loved the locations and the lack of dialogue.

The Brutalist (2024). Didn't like it at all. Too many stereotypes.

I enjoyed Andor, mostly. Not great, but good overall.

No! please keep going. You're the voice of sanity and you've become almost the only person to keep me updated on this disgusting, stinking, orange abberation, coz nowadays I avoid almost all news about your vile government and ridiculous, retarded maga f-ckheads.

I finally saw Daïnah la metisse, which was recommended to me by rischka about 100 years ago on The Auteurs forum or whatever it was, a Criterion forum?

I'm definitely gonna check out the vampire one:

Hi Jake, welcome. I just saw your front page on letterboxd and I laughed when I saw Boom in your faves. Not because it's not a good film, but coz it's a crazy film and I liked it too. I'd fallen into a rabbithole one day and when i was in it i came upon a john waters youtube clip of his favourite fi...

ty. it's been tough but i'm getting through it. Two weeks now.

I f-ing loved ANORA.

Does that make me a misogynist??

Mikey Madison is incredible.

Hey Flip, I now consider I've watched enough 2023s to add my list here. Hope you don't mind. I'm not expecting you to tally my list and add my film points to the final result you already published.

I also watched THE THIRD MAN just three weeks ago. I liked it a lot more this time, my second watch. 9.5/10

Your favorite films that you saw in 2024, regardless of what year they were made.

Oh I wish you would start an account at bluesky. I need to have something to follow other than tennis and politics.

There's a tool available to migrate all your tweets into your Bluesky account, and then you can delete your stinky musk account. It works for Firefox or Chrome.

Have you moved to bluesky yet?

ah yes, ty, she's wonderful and you're right, i love her

What's HCR?

so sorry this has happened. this is insane. all thanks to ignorant, uneducated men and women.

I fear the next few presidential elections will be just as awful, because there'll be other orange-flavoured candidates each time. I'm thinking Tucker Carlson will be the candidate in 2028 if that disgusting treasonous f-cker loses this year.
