Every Man For Himself And God Against All by Werner Herzog

Herzog’s recent memoir is packed with incredible stories and hilarious quotes (“I can still milk a cow, and I recognize others who can as well...”), and altho I think Herzog fans would get a lot more out of it than others, it’s deep and moving and entertaining either way.

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.
