Colossal
by JarvixSchmarvix
Despite the warm critical reception, I had low expectations from a few key reactions I heard, and yet still, I was disappointed. I love the idea of blowing genre to bits, to be clear. This makes al...

BlackBerry
by JarvixSchmarvix
I thought I'd avoided all of these product biopics (Nike, Flaming Hot Cheetos, Tetris) until I watched Nirvanna & learned that Blackberry is from the same creators. Gosh bless them Canadian can-do ...

Dune: Part Two
by JarvixSchmarvix
All I know about Dune is what I've seen in the Lynch version and Villeneuve's Part One (and Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice"), but my partner confirms it's as faithful an adaptation as one can expe...

Frankenstein
by JarvixSchmarvix
I struggle to critique it. It's an expertly crafted, passionately told story that feels more definitive than any take in decades on this classic tale. I don't know the source material, so I had to ...

Donkey Skin
by JarvixSchmarvix
Maybe I'm too used to conventional Hollywood storytelling, but I wanted this to be either more streamlined or more unhinged, more family-friendly or more adult. A friend had to explain to me the co...

Star Time
by JarvixSchmarvix
A few years before Natural Born Killers became the poster child for mass murder media infamy, this forgotten indie explored the topic through a shadowy, painfully isolated lens. Its satire is aimed...

Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie
by JarvixSchmarvix
I was told to go into this completely blind, but I think at least some familiarity with the Canadian TV series would be helpful in retrospect. Still, surprises and laughs soar high. Void the snark ...

Loving Vincent
by JarvixSchmarvix
A one-of-a-kind hand-painted film released before generative AI could kill it, this masterpiece of animation is only hindered by its narrative. While novel in how it incorporates Van Gogh's scenes ...

Backrooms
by JarvixSchmarvix
It's fine. I like the set design, the sound design (I liked that light bulb hum), and the acting is solid. It has some genuinely unnerving moments and inspired choices, but it ends up a bit of a no...

The Amazing Digital Circus
by JarvixSchmarvix
I didn't expect to love this show as much as I do. It's genuinely a great animated series that just gets a little bogged down in mysterious lore and tying up loose ends. The character development, ...

Benjamin, Adorno, Horkheimer, And A Path Backward Through Hegel
I've been reading Benjamin, Adorno, and Horkheimer, and the more I do the more I realize how much of what they're saying comes from conversations with the thinkers before them. It feels like walking into a room where everyone’s already mid conversation. This deep dive is my way of tracing those voices backward. I want to understand where ideas come from, how they evolve across time, and what they say about art, memory, and what it means to create something that feels alive.

Reign of Terror
Comprehensive Timeline of Ryan Walters Reign of Terror in Oklahoma and Beyond For the first time in modern Oklahoma History, nearly every parent in Oklahoma was in agreement that Ryan Walters was bad at his job. Across party lines, Oklahomans celebrated when he officially resigned. Within days, his mandates are began to get struck down one by one. But Ryan doesn't exist in a vacuum, he was strategically chosen and propped up to a position of power. If he was so hated, why didn't he end up getting removed from power sooner; and more importantly: Who helped him rise to power, and how do we stop something like this from happening again?
