The first progressive step for a mind overwhelmed by the strangeness of things
is to realize that this feeling of strangeness is shared with all men and that human reality, in its entirety, suffers from the distance which separates it from the rest of the universe

With the rich and mighty, always a little patience.
Holiday - 7/10. Katherine Hepburn at her most likeable.
Looooook aaaaat meeeeeeee.
Source Code - 4/10. Sincerity should be a crime. It's sci-fi surroundings never become believable. What is reality, bro.
There's a kind of neglect.
Fright Night - 7/10. The remake. TBS New Classic. Colin Farrell acted good!
Trust.
Attack The Block - 7.5/10. Just a really well-constructed movie that deserves extra points for its willingness to kill people we like.
You're half sweet and half acid.
Gentlemen Prefer Blondes - 6/10. There's no one else in the movie but Russell and Monroe, and that's unfortunate, because the whole thing's a bit about finding someone to chase after.
I'll fuck you 'til you love me.
Tyson - 7.5/10. He's a bad man, but hey, I like him. He's got a great ability to make you feel sympathy more than pity, and to have you come over to his side, which is just a different way to win a fight.

The bastard form of mass culture is humiliated repetition.
Always new books, new programs, new films, news items, but always the same meaning.
Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?
Harry Potter Deathly Hallows 2 - 7.5/10. Hey, this was pretty good! Good guy fighting the bad guy and all. If it weren't for all of the useless shit from the previous movie that permeates through this (and emotional beats that repeat themselves through this), it might have been the best of them. It's not, though. Whatevs. What you got, Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
I don't like bullies.
Captain America: The First Avenger - 7/10. THAT FIRST HOUR WAS THE SHIT, BRO. After that, it never quite hits the emotional beats that were set up so well. As with Thor, it sacrifices a bit of itself in order to become a lead-in to the next act, which is both unnecessary and exciting.

They're babies, they cry.
Babies - 7/10. It's a spectre of a movie, but it's captivating to watch. Like 'Koyaanisqatsi,' but, you know, for cute things.
Barely visible wrinkles of boredom and impatience.
Cries and Whispers. - 3/10. I fell asleep to this movie three times. It is my failing as a moviegoer that I can't find value in unlikeable characters.
Philosophy stares,
but brings no reasoned solution, for from nothing to being there is no logical bridge.
