60 of 98 · most liked firstA thing I greatly appreciated about HOPPERS is its riff on the lion king; the latter makes a huge ass deal about the Circle of Life but then don’t actually show the lions killing gazelle b/c that would upset children. This new movie is all: yeah. They eat one another. POND RULES, SON 🦫

(He and Greta Lee and Teo Yoo are all excellent and the movie actually managed to make me want to take the Circle Line.) 👍

unlabelledView post →THE CIRCLE (Jafar Panahi, 2000). An immensely powerful film that illustrates how attuned Panahi has been to the crippling restrictions imposed on women by Iranian society since the early stages of his career. Being female in this world seems akin to serving a prison sentence, >> (1/2) #FilmSky

unlabelledView post →During that same phase in my life, I ended up at a small party in Echo Park at which one of the other attendees was Zander Schloss from the Circle Jerks, who appears in the film. It was easily as exciting as the public corruption sting operation in which I took part that same week.

unlabelledView post →Tonight's movie: Squaring the Circle: the Story of Hipgnosis. A delightful, pull-no-punches documentary. Anton Corbijn brings great style and emotion to a film that could have easily been one of those "and then THIS happened" style docs.
unlabelledView post →They literally made a movie about this concept that is chillingly haunting. 'The Circle' with Tom Hanks and Emma Watson. This is literally the worst timeline.

unlabelledView post →The Circle (2017). Plot that went nowhere wasted on a otherwise fantastic cast. Oh and it was Bill Paxton's last film appearance. What a damn shame.

unlabelledView post →My Letterboxd Review: If I’d have known this was the kind of movie where the Circle Jerks played a terrible lounge act in a dive bar where the protagonist discussed alien corpses with his girlfriend and a federal agent with a metal hand, I’d have probably watched it 25 years ago… ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

unlabelledView post →There are SO many great songs from SO many great movies to choose from, but I have to give it to The Circle of Life from The Lion King. The second the film starts and this song permeates your senses, you KNOW you're about to witness a masterpiece.
unlabelledView post →"The Circle of Life" always makes me cry Leigh and I are watching various entries of The Lion King franchise for her own fan comic, and we're starting with the first movie. But ever since I first saw the movie as a kid, this song always makes me cry. Emotional 🥲
