A friend didn’t want their Aloe anymore, so I took it home. Looking pretty good so far, I think.

Mel Brooks: The 99 Year Old Man!, 2026

Pure joy.

Sucker Punch, 2011

This movie is daffy and fun.

The Bride!, 2026

I liked all the themes it was playing with, but it felt muddled and didn’t really hag together for me. Felt like keywords stuffing a plot.

Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie, 2025 - ★★★★★

God damn this movie is so funny. I like it better than the show even. So smart at being so stupid. A+. Go see it now.

The Brave Little Toaster, 1987

I had only seen a small part of this movie when I was maybe six, from under the couch. Really fun to revisit as an adult. I enjoyed it legitimately, but it was also dare I say healing to that little kid who was so scared of it. I think what confused and scared me the most as a child was how mean the characters are to each other. And man does this thing deal with DARK themes. Some banger van dyke parks tunes as well.

Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack, 2001

The human characters constantly have plot realizations out of thin air, and there’s way more ghosts than I was expecting.

Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland, 1989

This is the only children’s cartoon I know of that nails the whiplash morphing of dream logic. One moment you’re joyfully flying through the air on your bed, then next you’re underwater being chased by a train. 

Some people may say Nemo lifts directly from the Wizard of Oz, or The NeverEnding Story. Those people are boring. 

Nemo has all the emotional beats of a maudlin, down the middle children’s animated feature of the time, with the bug eyed psychedelia of that dream you kept having as a kid. You know the one.

Send Help, 2026 - ★★★★

What a good time at the movies. Saw it in 4DX, which is a gimmick but goofy fun. I don’t think the regal in Astoria’s scent device was working properly, because every smell cue just smelled like lemon pledge.

Rafureshia, 1995

I can’t and won’t describe what I watched.

Mortal Kombat, 1995

Let’s go.

Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem, 2003

Such a cool movie for a perfect album.

In the Mouth of Madness, 1994

This movie rules. A meta Ouroboros-ass cosmic horror about writing with Sam Neil chowing scenery, goopy practical monsters, and a glam rock soundtrack.  What’s not to love.

I got to co-work today with one of my favorite pups. 🐶

Cecil B. Demented, 2000 - ★★★★

Still great.

Godzilla: Final Wars, 2004

This movie grabs you and doesn’t let go. On the second viewing it all clicks into place. And by “place” I mean “mud”.

Serial Mom, 1994 - ★★★★★

I can’t believe it took me this long to see this. A+

Godzilla vs. Destoroyah, 1995

In this one the Godzilla is on fire and lights up and is in water. The actor in the suit needs a medal.

Marty Supreme, 2025 - ★★★½

Another safdie joint where one asshole burns his life to the ground and everyone yelling. I had a good time.

Buckaroo Banzai Declassified, 2002
