Watch the original Bad Genius from Thailand! It's directed by Nattawut ‘Baz’ Poonpiriya released in 2017.

I feel like Hollywood tried to turn Dylan O'Brien into the next Mark Wahlberg at some point.

y'all the count of monte cristo was legit one of my faves of the year lol. i get some of the criticisms on an adaptational level but it was SO much damn fun. the 3 hours absolutely flew by and the friend i went with, who knew nothing at all going in, agreed she would have been happy to watch even more of it. the heist caper feel they leaned into was a blast. [Spoiler (click to open)]i loved the way they turned haydée and andré-not-benedetto into revenge siblings in this lmao. my girl mercédès got a way better ending in this than the book. her bleak "this is all my fault for making the logical conclusion you were dead!" final chapter made me so mad lol, so the bittersweet ending of her being the one to get the "wait and hope" letter was a whole lot better to me. i did really miss haydée's big court monologue and i thought they skimmed over her past too quickly (my friend needed me to explain it after). i get why they cut maximilien and basically split him into albert and andré... but it cracked me up when they made a point of introducing him as a child and

visually cool but hard to think about for too long, and i was just like "please just dump your loser boyfriend" for a lot of it

Sing Sing wrecked me in the best way. Such a cathartic gorgeous movie experience.

Ooh I've been meaning to watch this-- maybe I'll put it on tomorrow!

oh Bad Genius looks cute and fun!! (tho I knew it looked familiar and should prob watch the original)

I'm seeing the Anora live Q&A in a week or so WITH SEAN BAKER and I'm STOKED

I saw The Substance the other night and in spite of some plot holes and iffy messaging, I reallyyyyy enjoyed it

also I hate how good The Apprentice looks. I saw the trailer in theaters and if it wasn't about Trump and made RIGHT FUCKING NOW, I'd prob be racing to see it.

I'd see We Live in a Time on streaming where I can cry in peace

I want to watch the Last of the Sea Women because I swear there was a book with characters part of that group
