Went to see this at Nitehawk Cinema in Brooklyn on 35mm. Figured I’d go check it out cause I wasn’t familiar with it and it has Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe, two of the most commanding actors to ever grace the screen.
One of the most bizarre, but entertaining movies I’ve ever seen. It almost feels like a parody of the y2k/cyberpunk/police procedural movies in the post-irony era, but it’s so hammy that it manages to charm you over by the end.
Russell Crowe basically plays mecha-evil incarnate. In one scene, he holds a rave hostage and makes them scream in certain octaves so he can orchestrate and remix the sounds on a soundboard like a DJ. That’s somehow not the craziest thing that happens in this film, but it’s the coolest.

I don’t understand how yall end up at these random ass places you do, come across the books on ancient polyrhythmic science or whatever you read, listen to those indescribably niche tracks I’ve never heard of before or since, or host art installations from your makeshift garage, but I love hearing about every little bit of it, beyond fascinating to know all your stories and passions and the things that occupy ya mind and keep you alive. It’s like a big canvas comprised of different jagged pieces that all add up to a whole.
I’ve only been on the app for two weeks or so and it’s already partly helped me heal from a lotta past grief and pain so I’m grateful to interact with yall.

It’s cool to learn new things, it’s cool to develop some new skills. It’s cool to be able to access a whole bunch of data and knowledge at your fingertips.
Don’t let some guy on a podcast become your father figure or give you financial advice or try to anoint you with another monolithic identity not too dissimilar from the one you vowed to leave behind.
Life doesn’t get any better, but YOU do.
