Ága (2018)

♥♥♥

Feels a bit like a documentary. Not very eventful, but it's kinda mesmerizing still, and it felt like I was living a very different, simple, earthbound life for a short while.

Le monde selon Amazon (2019)

English title: The World According to Amazon

♥♥♥♥

I don't think having a job is essential to humans, and thus people getting out of jobs due to technologal progress or innovation in processes is a good thing, IN ITSELF. It frees up peoples time to leisure or do less tedious, monotonous work.

The problem is, that people currently still need a job to fulfill their needs and even basic needs such as housing, and that should be solved by reshaping society so people aren't forced to work to live, where motivation to do so  comes from community and solidarity instead.

Another problem is that people in the bottom work just as hard to earn money for a company, but it's the people at the top that reap the VAST majority of profits. I think, in general, that all work is equally valuable to the company, and either people should receive an unconditional universal basic income, or employees should be paid (at least more or less) the same based on amount of hours worked, regardless of position in the company. Of course if you do a job there's no one willing to buy from there's no income in that latter case. Also some are unable to work and should be cared for!

And tax evasion, corruption and bribery needs to be prevented with whatever is necessary to do so.
In a democracy each person should be worth the same, and ideally have similar power, I think. At the same time decisions need to be made on an informed basis, so it requires an educated population, and it may require some specialisation as well, that offsets this idea of equal power, since specialists opinion does matter more in some areas.

EDtv (1999)

Watched

Recall as at least decent but not as good as Truman Show?

Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)

♥♥♥♥

Star Wars-ranking wise I think an updated list would probably be:
IV > V > VI > VII > VIII > I = III > II > Solo > Rogue One

...and despite that position I actually enjoyed it quite a bit! Might even beat II?

Captain Marvel (2019)

♥♥♥♥

nice performance by Larson, and nice origin story, though it seemed to go a bit fast for how much they had to tell. hope she meets someone closer to her level in the upcoming movies.

also sad to see it and Larson subject to sexists campaigning with negative scores via fake accounts, which fortunately failed in the large scheme of things, since the IMDB score is fine and it was a big commercial success.

Better Than Something: Jay Reatard (2011)

♥♥♥

Coco (2017)

♥♥♥♥

Touching, and fine music.

Back to the Future (1985)

♥♥♥

Quite entertaining and nostalgic.

Some downsides though:
- Marty's objectifying random women while having a girlfriend
- Animal testing
- Father is a peeping tom and is not confronted about it
:/

Not sure what to think of the idea that chuck berry got his idea of a sound from a white guy in this alternate reality (who got it from him, but still)

Back to the Future Part II (1989)

♥♥♥

Rankings so far:
I > II

Back to the Future Part III (1990)

Inclined to rank the trilogy like this:
III > I > II

Better towards the end.

Star Trek Beyond (2016)

Decent soundtrack!

Star Trek Into Darkness (2013)

English title: Star Trek: Into The Darkness

♥♥♥♥

Came in with low expectations based off reviews, but I thought it was actually quite good in spite of Kirk's character pulling things down.

Visually reminded me of Star Wars at times, which makes sense given Industrial Light & Magic's involvement.

Treasure Planet (2002)

♥♥♥♥♥

Visually beautiful, captivating storytelling, likeable characters, and a nice futuristic spin on the Treasure Island story!

Willow (1988)

♥♥♥♥

Rated from memory, recall as 3-4?
