Bulworth (1998)

Criminally underrated - I hadn’t even heard of Bulworth until I looked up the origins of Pras’s “Ghetto Supastar” (made for the movie!!), and I may be a sucker for a political outsider fantasy play, but I laughed so hard, I thought all the racial commentary was way ahead of its time, and the cast (esp Halle Berry and Don Cheadle but really everyone) are masterful.

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.
