I kind of cooled off on Everything Everywhere All at Once pretty quickly tbh. may be due for another viewing but it still feels daunting, even now.

I think it was oversaturated in the zeitgeist pretty quick because people really latched onto the A24 movie with the tone of a Marvel movie, and I don't mean that negatively (even if I also cooled pretty quickly on it as well). I think the Daniels tapped into something that worked for a lot of people and brought two different kinds of filmgoers together, which is ultimately very cool
I also cooled off on EEAAO as well but I still think it’s an incredible film. Just not my favorite of the decade anymore like I felt after opening night

A bunch of them have been on my radar forever, but you're way better versed in Asian cinema than me, so I'm intrigued. I'll let you know if I need an assist! Fuck. Yes.
I can't think of Small Soldiers without wanting Burger King advertising has fucking poisoned my childhood brain
It reminds me of that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game that had a deal with Pizza Hut so all the pizza in the game was branded and you got like a coupon or something when you bought it They've been advertising to us our whole lives
