Seeing Downton in a few hours. I'm kind of a casual fan, but I'm taking my mom and I'm sure she'll go nuts. Saw Ad Astra yesterday and I actually kind of regret opting for IMAX, as I gradually realized that it's not really 'about' space travel at all and the format was ultimately distracting to me. [Spoiler (click to open)]I kind of guessed that would be the case just from knowing James Gray's other movies, and I'm actually kind of really impressed that Hollywood was willing to make a huge, expensive, special-effects bonanza that was really just a quiet daddy-issues indie drama in disguise. Though judging from the Reddit comments [I know, I know], that misdirection definitely didn't work for some people, especially because the trailer really made it look like a thrilling sci-fi adventure. But I think I really liked it.

Also saw Sword of Trust last night, and while I'm not sure if it was actually saying anything Deep about the dangers of weird Internet conspiracy theories or not, it was hilarious and I adored Marc Maron in particular. Seeing Villains tomorrow because Regal sent me a free ticket for no reason.
