Civil War (2024)

It’s cool that this ever got made, considering how infrequently we see a big budget movie this different and bold - so while it is disturbingly violent, with bafflingly bad music choices, and even tho the themes (growing up, journalism) have little to do with the ostensible plot (american civil war), I have to applaud the acting, the visuals, the vision, and the spectacle.

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.
