I began last year by watching every single marvel movie which killed my interest in movies for a while. I’m slowly recovering, but I have a bad memory and just recently started logging what I watch on letterboxd. You were never really here is Joaquin Phoenix at his finest, with great direction and editing. Triangle of sadness was alright, but I feel like Ruben Östlund peaked with Force Majeure. That said, rich people projectile vomiting is fun.

    I began last year by watching every single marvel movie which killed my interest in movies for a while.

I have debated doing this. I stopped superhero movies at Iron Man 2 and have felt no longing, yet I've got a seedbox and a dozen torrent subscriptions so what I end up watching is weird stuff someone else freeleeched or things my daughter has decided she needs to see. Thus, I have zero recommendations for movies.

I think I'll skip the superhero onslaught.

It is my measured opinion as an industry professional that the best writing is now in episodic, so I've been doing a lot of that. I think the last vaguely-modern movie was that Sandra Bullock vacation thing which is basically a Romancing the Stone remake (my daughter has now seen Romancing the Stone) so I am bereft of recommendations.

oof - I watched most of the Marvel Phase 3 movies because my son was really into them. I now have zero interest in anything MCU or superheroes - TV or film. Watching stuff with your kids is rewarding regardless of the genre or quality. I'm just super indifferent about them now.
