Wooooooof @ Joker! Saw a comment on Twitter noting (paraphrasing) that The Marvels actually had a better opening weekend than this, yet we won't get thinkpieces about how white men shouldn't lead comic book movies.

I had a busy movie weekend!

The Outrun: Saoirse is fantastic, as she always is, but I think a nomination is the ceiling for her with this movie. It's very... deliberately pace (my husband was bored, and I was close at times), and very internal - not a lot of overly showy emotional scenes for her. She certainly gets to demonstrate her range, which is great, and there is some beautiful footage of the Orkney Islands. Saoirse did a Q&A afterward, and she was lovely. You can tell she is really proud of the film and her husband for finding the book and producing with her.

I forgot I saw Dune 1984 earlier this year; Honestly that would have been fantastic on the big screen because it's just so wildly different.

Omg I love Kyle! Von Dutch is also my fave lol. I saw blue velvet for the first time recently and I wasn’t really a fan? I may try rewatching it because I really thought it’d be my shit and I just wasn’t into it.

I am dying to see Anora!!!

I wanted to see The Outrun after seeing My Old Ass but I already have a hard time with movies because of my ADHD, maybe this one is not for me

As much as I want to encourage you to go, my husband also has ADHD and it was a real struggle for him, so you're probably right!

You must watch My Old Ass for the payoff (one of the brothers is obsessed with Saoirse Ronan)

Oh, I did, and it's one of my faves this year!! Not just for the Saoirse love, but I did love that lol

When I saw the Saoirse wall I thought of you!!!
