roger and me (1989)

 there’s a lot to like about this anti capitalist documentary about flint michigan, especially considering the more recent water catastrophe there decades after this movie was made, but like all michael moore’s docs, I’m always left with a slightly bad taste in my mouth- I just think he bends the truth a little and his causes would be better served with more direct honesty.

Seeing Like a State by James C. Scott

This historical treatise has a lot of notoriety but I found it unnecessarily dense, and ultimately flawed, in that its focus on states and state power ignores a related discussion of capitalist power, such that altho there is a useful perspective to glean here about how a drive for social legibility can transform a society, I wouldn't recommend the book overall.

I Saw The TV Glow (2024)

Creepy slow and artsy, well-acted altho some of the monologues and artistic choices tried a little too hard, overall just different  which I really appreciated, deep and heartfelt and not afraid of some discomfort.
