Movies

not sure why but have been watching the Scream series. I love the original and probably had only watched Scream 2 once.
Overall, it's a pretty decent series. Scream 2 / 3 are a bit messy for me but i think it has since went back on track. I'm actually impressed they kept the storyline going while still making it about horror franchises all these years.
I'd have to say tho, the coolest thing about watching them in order is like traveling through time. The cellphone style changes from movie to movie. It went from it being strange that one of the characters had a cellphone in the first to it being super common in Scream 5. The cast were the most popular actors/actresses of that time and there were so many actors and actresses that I didn't even realize were in the Scream franchise.
 
I watched Minari earlier tonight and.....wow. Another A24 film that I found to be really hard-hitting (they certainly are becoming my favourite production company). Im not entirely sure why I didn't watch it at the time of its release, but I'm glad I gave it a shot now. Really sad and times and happy at others. The actors perfectly capture the struggle of life, balancing between work and home.

Well worth watching, I thoroughly recommend it.

I still need to watch this one.
I've listened to the soundtrack well over a hundred times though. It's gorgeous.
 
Finally saw Triangle of Sadness (thought it kind of sucked), and now I've seen every BP nominee, so here's my ranking.

1. TÀR (9/10)
2. The Banshees of Inisherin (8.5/10)
3. Everything Everywhere All at Once (8.5/10)
4. The Fabelmans (8/10)
5. Top Gun: Maverick (8/10)
6. Women Talking (7.5/10)
7. Avatar: The Way of Water (7.5/10)
8. All Quiet on the Western Front (7/10)
9. Triangle of Sadness (4.5/10)
10. Elvis (4/10)

Overall a pretty solid lineup imo. Especially compared to last year's.
