1. Raw
I wasn't crazy about any movie this year. There was a lot of pretty good movies though. And the best movie was a French cannibal movie. If I mentioned how crazy the "waxing scene" was and you knew what I was talking about we would become best friends.
2. Good Time
I finally bought Fast Times at Ridgemont High on Blu-ray this year. So the second best Jennifer Jason Leigh movie I saw this year is this bank-robbery-gone-crazy film.
3. Star Wars: The Last Jedi
The negative fan backlash is bewildering. I know assholes use the "if everyone likes you you'ren't interesting" line but it works here for non-assholes or possibly assholes-in-denial. Criticisms:
A. The jokes aren't funny and undermine the drama.
The jokes are funny and don't undermine the drama. Swish.
B. Smoke and Captain Phantasm were built up and nothing was done with them.
I couldn't care less about Smock beyond wondering how big he was. This was answered in the The Last Jedi. Apparently Cap Fantastic was built-up in accessory material. I don't know what that is, I don't know what she is and I couldn't care less she didn't "live up to the hype".
C. That casino planet plot was dumb.
That's fair but I'm into Star Wars for the aliens and most of the alien designs are in this section. I will be buying action figures from scenes like this madness:
4. Brigsby Bear
I guess Mark Hamill is the Tiffany Haddish of white people!
5. Gerald's Game
For that one scene.
