This is my ranking of all the Sony Spider-Man Movies. I stand by this list, and I have my reasons.

Post-Odyssey ranking. This Nolan guy can’t miss, even if he tried!

Now Watching - Obsession

I am expecting my anxiety to spike with this one. Gonna play around with a lot of male insecurities.

UNDERTONE is the first horror movie since SKINAMARINK where I’ve had to sleep with the lights on. I wanted it to be over. Not because it was bad, but because I wanted off what felt like a train ride of terror. One of the most stressful cinematic experiences of my life.

What if I told you THE BRIDE! is the best movie of the year so far?

I’m so glad we all agreed that Fennell’s Wuthering Heights was terrible and have quickly moved on from it. I doubt we’ll ever talk about it again.

It’s wild that I’ve gone nearly 29 years of my life without ever seeing a single Warren Beatty movie. That changes tonight, as I’m gonna check out Dick Tracy.

Heading to off to see how awful Emerald Fennell’s book report is.

Very peculiar double feature today.

Dangerous confession: I don’t really like THE BREAKFAST CLUB that much.
Dangerous confession: I don't really like BACK TO THE FUTURE that much.

The first 94% of THE FABELMANS is insufferable but the last three scenes - and the final camera tilt - are perfect (and should’ve been released as a short film).

#NowWatching - TRON: Ares

Time to watch this Sci-Fi extravaganza that does not have a problematic actor in the lead role.

Off to see my friend Payakan.

Remember how Nolan used to always be accused of being a sexless filmmaker, but then as soon as he put nudity in his film, people said it was “not needed”.

This confirms my long-held belief that love does not exist whatsoever.
Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have separated after 19 years, TMZ reports.

Either I'm gonna finish this assignment, or it's gonna finish me. More likely the latter at this point.

Post-OBAA ranking. I've included his music videos and documentary. The Top 5 are all 5-star masterpieces. Even his worst film is still a pass for me. PTA just can't miss!

30 more minutes till it starts!

You know what shits me off about Kimmel getting suspended? He called out a group of people who only exist in America. When MAGA practice transphobia or racism or antisemitism, they are discriminating groups of people who exist beyond the borders of America. That’s the difference.

For any of my US followers, I would really recommend checking out Carnal Vessels. I may be biased because my roommate and best friend produced it. But it's genuinely really funny and really sexy. I promise you'll have a good time with it! Also, it's on Tubi, so it's free!
