Picking apples, making pies. The atmosphere throughout this movie is so weighty it could sink a ship. Maybe it should have. Every step of it is brilliantly acted, shot in gray-ish, desaturated hues and hellishly dark. Move to the new world, bring the kids,...

This was a fascinating read that did a lot to punch holes in the default narrative of the Manson murders that Bugliosi established in Helter Skelter . What it doesn't do is draw any definitive conclusions. It's a decade plus of pulling at threads, unraveli...

This was pretty to look at, well acted, rendered and about everything you'd expect from an objectively great film and I think it is that — a great film. But it's a great film that didn't click for me. A movie made for critics? I dunno. Fiennes was clearl...

'Murica! Probably a story worth being told but it ends up being a mediocre action movie with a foreign policy disaster as the backdrop.

Ostensibly about the Vietnam war but laser-focused on the author — Robert Mason's — experience flying a helicopter in assault missions over the course of a year-long deployment. Mason manages to avoid the broader, thornier historical context and relay ...

https://www.coryd.dev/posts/2024/thoughts-on-permanence · 27 Mar 2024
I think a lot about permanence — both as a broader concept and how it applies to myself, my life and my work on a more personal level. It's a comforting concept when you're seeking stability, but it's never truly attainable. It's aspirational, but unachi...
