"I’m cheating again, because this isn’t a movie at all. It’s an episode of an Adult Swim show, and I’ve watched it more than anything else this year. It’s only ten or twelve minutes and it leaves me feeling like I’m a better person. It is warm and cozy and fills me with compassion and hope for humanity. It is also a celebration of my favorite meal. I look forward to many more viewings in the year to come, whenever I need a pick-me-up, large or small."

Jack Reynor recommended Dr. Strangelove (1964) in Movies (curated)

"This is as close to a perfect film as I have ever seen. Thousands of years of humanity honing the blade of satire culminated in this searing parody from Stanley Kubrick. Typically his direction is the star of his films, but the performances here from Peter Sellers, George C. Scott, and Sterling Hayden turn this into a perfectly pitched collaboration among artists who were, at that moment in history, each firing on all cylinders. Sellers in particular excels in three completely different roles. It’s a true master class in character acting."

Giant robots fighting giant monsters!

One of my absolute favorite Sci-fi movies!

Everything you want in both a summer blockbuster and a Del Toro movie. Love the idea of escalation. Humanity felt so defenseless, the only way fight giant monsters was to create giant robots. The military approach is done well. Just enough human emotion to ground the story, but IMO not enough to get in the way of what you really want to see.
