Blade II
Blade is so cool and sexy.
Sound of Metal
Sad :( Riz Ahmed does a fabulous job again, being so convincingly pathetic and vulnerable and resentful for his newly acquired disability.
What I kept thinking about whenever I noticed the really effective sound design of this movie was this piece called I am sitting in my room by Alvin Lucifer. I came across it on Tumblr a few weeks ago and somehow managed to listen to all of it (not all at once, though I really think that would be the most cool) and the gradual convergence of the resonant frequencies of the room and the vocals into one ambient beam of acoustics kind of scared the shit out of me.

I’m a bit delirious with my own ailment, but it really touched me. #WeAreOne
- Homura is always right
- The cycle of magical girls turning to witches which causes hardships and begets more reasons for girls to make a contract begetting more witches. Damn they thought of everything.
Four Lions
With no English subtitles available, this felt nearly incomprehensible to me. It was recommended by a coworker after he saw that I was planning to watch The Sound of Metal.
Ultimately, hilarious. Riz Ahmed and Kayvan Novak have this incredible comedic energy together and the dialogue and timing had me yelp-laughing. Maybe because it’s British or something but it does not hold back on what I feel like would now be considered taboo or in bad taste.
