Shin Godzilla:
Never seen a kaiju film before, and i'm pleasantly surprised
Directed by hideaki anno, director of evangelion and some other better stuff, it's a movie about godzilla showing up in the beach and then the government shitting themselves as they don't know how to deal with that situation, it's not really an action movie like I expected, it's more of a drama with godzilla involved, I actually asked my friend who is into kaijus if this was the case normally and they told me yeah
This movie is entirerily about burocracy and politics, and how our current system wouldn't hold if godzilla appeared in the cost of tokyo, which honestly, yeah, I don't think the government is prepared for that LMAO. Point is, the current system cant really handle extremely urgent circumstances, because there is a lot of steps to carry out anything, the chain of command is long and therefore slow, the law is ambiguous in certain parts, (my fav part of the movie are two characters discussing if godzilla attacking would legally count as an attack from a foreign country) and there are a lot of caviats that need to be fulfilled before doing anything
then you have other countries trying to cash in your situation, they're not going to accept to fight godzilla for free even if it is a existential threat to humanity as a whole, your public opinion is entirerily on the line with every action with may destroy your career even if you're trying to save everyone, we judge ourselves by our intentions, but we judge other people for their actions.
The movie is very fast paced, this denotes the feeling of urgency, in fact, the movie basically plays in real time, as in the first hour of the movie, I think only 2 hours pass in the movie, which feels pretty cool
The only thing I would say I disliked about this movie is actually the reference to evangelion, since I feel it kinda shifts the discussion of this film to "omg evangelionnnnnnnnnnnn" rather than the film itself, which I did not like
so yeah, pleasantly surprised with this film, will watch other kaiju films in the future
placed in A rank

Gone Girl
Movie by david fincher, pretty good too
It's about the story of probably the single most toxic relationship you've ever seen, how a relationship like that forms, why it fails, and everything that happens after that
It's a tried and true concept, there are some other movies with similar concepts that have been successes in the past, however, david fincher adds a little bit more of spice into it, for example, a thing that I really like is the commentary it does on how justice works differently if you're famous and how your public image takes part in that
like fight club, the ending is extremely shocking, even in a movie where a lot of bad things happens, there is nothing graphic, except for the ending, this is to make it even more impactful and it does work
overall good movie, nothing special but good, placed in B rank

kept playing .flow, I have 9 transformation out of idk how many
