Oomf’s Infinite Watchlist: a thread
Last week I decided that I would start watching a random movie from my watchlist everyday. I have like 120 movies on my watchlist, and recs are always welcome.
I’ve been using a random number generator to watch a different movie every day, and here’s what I’ve seen so far:
Still Alice:
- Honestly I don’t think Julianne Moore’s performance is that good… like it’s borderline bad
- It made me want to go to an Ivy League school
- Scary bc Alzheimer’s runs in my family

Paradise Hills:
- Heard about it cause it was at Sundance last year
- Awkwafina, Emma Roberts, and good aesthetics are the only reasons it’s borderline good
- Story is totally, definitely been done before, afraid to reference or not reference

12 Years a Slave:
- Horrifying. Needed to be seen but still one of the hardest movies I’ve ever watched
- Good performances all around
- Tired of film academics only ever praising predominantly black movies when it’s about black trauma

Love, Simon (2018)
- Cute and it’s fun to see representation of yourself on a screen so I’m not mad
- I liked it but I don’t like how Hollywood can only be progressive in one area at a time… like gay but make it as a palatable a possible
- it’s exploitative :/

- It was too long I lost interest in the last half hour
- Too many ideas explored in one movie, ambitious
