The Thing (1982)

I’m a huge Carpenter fan and this is my favorite of his - punchy, snappy, verve, amazing effects and music, literally never a dull moment, poignant and interesting despite being a pretty straightforward monster thriller on the surface, just all around in my top 10.

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.
