lady looks like she's about to ask the ghostbusters if they're gods.

He can climb trees, but chooses not to, recognizing that trees do not attempt to climb him.
This is where he toots.
Looking forward to the Gaston prequel where we learn that as a boy he watched helpless as a gang of books murdered his parents, and begins eating 4 dozen eggs every morning so he can get large enough to wage war on libraries everywhere.
"President Trump dead today, eaten by a tyrannosaurus rex while sitting fully nude on a golden toilet."
“Hello McFly! Hello in there! In no more than 2000 but no less than 1500 words, summarize ‘the yellow wallpaper’ and ‘the bell jar’ (see attached files) in the style of a precocious but not gifted teen, then propose a theme, offering 5 points of similarity and 3 points of difference within that theme…and don’t forget to the trenchant conclusion, McFly. Think, McFly. Think.”
If you don't want to be compared to the Gestapo, one neat trick is to not engage in a campaign of terror around the country wherein you kidnap people off the streets to slave dungeons in accommodation of an autocratic fascist and his nationalist movement's desire for racial purity.

1945 SCARLET STREET (Lang) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Edward G Robinson goes against type to play a nebbish but good-hearted clerk with the soul (and skill) of an artist, lured into a life of sleazery by femme fatale Joan Bennett. Toys with the far more interesting conclusion of a murderer with a clean-conscience, but the Hays code kicks in. Until then works as a sort of reverse Morven Callar, come to think of it.

NEW ENTRY:
1922 NOSFERATU (Murnau)⭐️⭐️⭐️½
Stodgy in the early going, but the power of Max Schreck's eerie creation is undeniable and part of a young art form's genetic material; the vampire rising as cinema takes its early flickering steps.
Replaces: n/a
2023 POOR THINGS (Lanthimos)⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️½
Yorgos Lanthimos has long been obsessed with the ways social custom and received belief turn reality into something plastic and malleable; here he merges his penchant for outré custom with gorgeous outré imagery and pugnacious/hilarious feminist theory. Emma Stone destroys.
