Would Rose marry another man if Jack didn't instruct her to? I swear to god, whoever that poor bastard was, my heart goes on for him. He took care of her for decades until his dying day, raised her family, etc. The whole while, Rose was getting off to the thought of her dead two-day boyfriend and sitting on jewellery worth a fortune.

His spirit is like: "Hey, where am I in your fantasies, Rose? Rose? Hey, what about me? Am I also waiting at the stairs with Jack?"

>I'm thinking of ending things

My dumbass brain couldn't understand a bit of that film at first watch. I was shocked after reading interpretation of it. I would love to rewatch this film with a commentary track explaining what the hell is going on. It's shame that this is a Netflix film, and there's zero chance for it to get a commentary track.

Face/Off, no question.

The Rock and Con Air are a helluva lot of fun, but neither are as imaginative, as intense or as freakishly over the top as Face/Off. Face/Off is a perfect blend of high concept and high action; manages to be a blockbusting '90s action shoot-em-up while also pulling off this weird, nightmarish Twilight Zone plot. It's a goddamn experience.

I had no trouble keeping up with Interstellar, Inception, and The Prestige, but they definitely benefit from repeat viewings because there are certain things that you pick up on new watches.

Tenet was absurd. If you have to sacrifice most of the emotion of your movie in favor of expository dialogue and your movie is still hard to follow AND even after "understanding" it, it's still ridiculous, maybe you've just made a bad movie. Even during the final emotional dialogue between Pattinson and Washington, there was so much poorly written exposition that the emotion turns to comedy. It felt like a satire of Christopher Nolan movies. I've seen it 3 times because I thought I was missing something, but it was just unfulfilling. It may be the only movie I've liked less upon a rewatch, other than movies shrouded by nostalgia.

I just wish they'd make a deal with Disney to get the Spiderman films on Disney+. At least the MCU ones. Feels so weird having the MCU mostly all in one place except for the Spiderman trilogy. Well I guess there's Incredible Hulk too but I don't know how many are really missing that one lol
