March 30th Directed by: Shunji Iwai This movie is so impossibly unfocused that it feels like I watched a couple random episodes of an anime. Actually it feels like an anime in a lot of ways. It's very whimsical and silly, the note that it ends on is so hilariously inconsequential to the plot, it's great. It's also contrived and bloated, I know these are negative connotations but it really makes it feel like you're watching a live action slice of life anime. Interesting movie, a fun watch. Downloaded.

March 29th Directed by: Harmony Korine The first great film of 2019. It was very Harmony Korine while also being abnormally extravagant and outwardly trying to be funny. So it's a bit of a different beast from the rest of his catalogue, but in regards to this being a comedy, it succeeds marvelously. A lot of people have probably made this comparison but I feel like we have our "The Dude" for this era with the protagonist, Moondog. With him and this film's vignette style I feel like I could watch his misadventures forever. This is such a weird movie, the one gripe I have is a lot of the music is really hokey, but I can't really call it a fault as much as I can just say I don't get what he was going for. There's so much to like about this, it's really a perfect feel-good film. Theater.

March 28th Directed by: Eiichi Yamamoto I've never seen something look so Japanese and so American at the same time, while also being the most 70's thing I've ever seen. This is one of those where the storyline is there but it's such a simple idea that you could just ignore the fact that there's a story at all and it wouldn't really affect your experience. I really wonder about the popularity of LSD in Japan, considering their drug laws because I don't know if it's possible this could have been made without it. This is really like nothing else. Blu-Ray.
