- Top Gun: Maverick - I honestly had no idea I'd like this one as much as I did. Was the only movie that I saw twice in theaters so far. Shit was just an amazing experience and appealed to the kid in me that dreamt of being a pilot.
- The Northman - Honestly couldn't see any movie supplanting this one at #1. Figured it'd still be there by the end of the year. While I liked Top Gun more (just slightly), this one was a much better movie.
- The Batman - Seemed this one rubbed a few of you ***** the wrong way. I forgive you for that. But as a guy who's been a Batman fan since he was 3, this was everything I could want in a Batman movie.
- Everything Everywhere All at Once - A lot of **** happened in this one and all of it was great. Amazing how none of it felt incomplete and the pacing never felt rushed.
- Jujutsu Kaisen 0: The Movie - I know none of you have heard of this. It's a prequel movie for an anime series called Jujutsu Kaisen. Shit ****in slapped so hard.
- Nope - Not a particularly well-made movie, but there was a lot that worked, and I had a pretty good time. Like I said in that Nope thread, the camerawork/cinematography was excellent.
- Bullet Train - Dug it quite a bit. Like with Nope, I was sufficiently entertained by it, even though the movie wasn't what I'd call well-made. Had a lot of cartoonish ultraviolence and fun characters, and I just dug its style.
- Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness - The movie was better than the average MCU film. Seeing Sam Raimi get to go full Raimi in an MCU movie was satisfying. The writing was pretty **** and some of the performances seemed phoned-in.
- The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent - Some pretty funny moments, some that fell flat. Pedro Pascal stole the movie. The movie was a waste of potential.
- Thor: Love and Thunder - another movie that wasted its potential. Honestly didn't like it much except for certain scenes and Christian Bale as Gorr.
I'd include Jackass Forever to give the list a nice round ten, but I can't consider that a movie so much as it was an hour and a half long reunion episode. Next up is probably Bullet Train.
Throughout Heaven and Earth, I alone am the honored one.

Jurassic World wasn't the worst movie I've ever seen, but I will admit I forgot every second of it the moment I left the theater.
Men was just a little TOO weird to be enjoyable. I did appreciate the shout-out to Cernunnos, though.

Yeah, heard that **** gets really weird in the third act. Probably would've put me off from watching it a few years ago, but after all the weird anime I've checked out in the past few years that I surprisingly liked, I'd probably vibe with this film's wavelengths.
Was going to check it out opening weekend but none of the damn theaters were playing it. And then I just forgot about it until you just mentioned it.

I love a good mindfuck, but it was weird in a way that makes the word 'weird' seem unfitting due to being underwhelming. It was weird for the sake of it – the message had been hammered home without it.
Let me know what you think, though, after you see what I mean.

lol…those are just the recent releases
I've been watching a lot more this year than usual.
Probably due to spending less time on the boards and not hanging out in chats…you'd be surprised by how much free time that'll give ya
Are you okay?
