  • I finally watched Godzilla Minus One.... Wow. Just wow. The story was simple and tight, and they really had some nice arcs, great and unpredictable scenes, and Godzilla seriously terrified me. It was fantastic. Loved the setting and era. …

  • The Bonds are imperfect films in my opinion. And that's fine because I usually cherrish their flaws. Also, they don't have to be perfect to give me what I want from a Bond movie. Beautifully stated. And so true.
