The Frisco Kid (1979)

It seems like nobody involved in this movie had a firm idea on how funny it should be, where the humor would come from, what kind of character Wilder should play, or how to develop the characters' relationships, and so even tho it's great seeing Wilder and Ford at the height of their powers, the movie itself is a total dud.

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.
