I watched The Vast of Night earlier this year for the Independent Spirit Awards, and really enjoyed it. It's not doing anything revelatory, but it created some interesting atmosphere on an extremely low budget. I think it'd be cool to watch in a drive-in.

I love Lauren Lapkus, but The Wrong Missy looks awful.

We started watching Mr. Robot earlier this week at my husband's request, and we're about halfway through S1. It's a compelling watch, although for the last couple episodes it's felt like they are doing too much in what is already a pretty plot-heavy show. Curious to see how it ends up.

Also caught up on Run - this Vulture review is literally mte: https://www.vulture.com/2020/05/run-episode-5-recap-jump.html. I'll probably finish it bc there's only a couple of episodes left, but I wish it was better.

We still need to watch the last episode of The Good Place, which I keep putting off, and I really want to start Normal People since ( ... )

I was actually really digging Run but the last ep was not so great.

Fiona's death was DUMB. How could they waste Archie like that? What was the point of introducing her and then just killing her?

[Spoiler (click to open)]Such a waste of a good actress! Hoping they flesh out her role a bit more with flashbacks in the last couple of eps, but I am not optimistic.

Today I'm watching Alien, Aliens, and Alien 3. I've only ever seen the first one before and there was a marathon on TV a while ago so I recorded them for a rainy day. I'm gonna go make lunch and then start the first one. :)

omg recently did this and then went on to Prometheus and Covenant!

And then after too much stress I watched The Martian- and then I realized Ridley Scott did both that and Alien! Polar opposite space movies!

As I mentioned in the roundup I watched the last season of Schitt's Creek. It wasn't my favourite and there were some rocky moments but overall it was a solid end to a solid show.

i'm planning on watching Shoplifters tonight or tomorrow for the film club. i also watched a moment in the reeds and wow i did not need to be left that sad tbh.

i think i mentioned it in the last post but i'm trying to watch more middle eastern and north african films, it's a region i haven't watched much cinema from and i want to change that.
