Its fine. They're really going to make these forever. The more absurd the franchise gets, the more I think I want to know about the everyday person rather than the numerous assassins. What's their life like?
Men In Black International
Iiiii think it needed a final rewrite and some more heart, to be honest. The chemistry is good, but it could be much better. Better than MiB2, worse than 1.
The Inventor: Out For Blood in Silicon Valley
Silicon Valley is such a gross place and this documentary really cements that no hope emerges from that hellscape. All efforts at good submits to rushed demands for profit. Its got the same fear the Fyre documentaries have: you know its a scam and you're waiting for the shoe to drop and everything to go to hell. The shoe isn't quite as harsh and you might expect, partly because you don't get to interview the people who were scammed by Theranos. But the suffering of the employees, which is horrific, is downright sickening to behold. Well worth the watch.
Godzilla (1954)
Overtly political in ways I didn't quite expect. Its a classic for a reason and boy does it deliver.
