Will absolutely be watching True Things at some point - I am very attracted to Tom Burke, I like Ruth Wilson, and this genre of movie is usually my thing.

Curious to hear if Barbarian is any good, and very excited for next weekend's releases.

I haven't watched anything new lately, just rewatched Star Wars a couple of days ago. Going to see this double feature tonight:

and looking forward to it, because I love Drive and only half-watched The Nice Guys on a plane, so that will be fairly new to me. Hopefully I don't wanna die after sitting in the theater that long.

Incredibly beautiful. 😭 Very tender and melancholic, Paul Mescal and Francesca Corio knocked it out of the park.

I saw Jaws on National Cinema Day for $3 and it was great! I’d seen it a million times on tv but never on the big screen. Spielberg is really unparalleled for his story telling vision matched with plausible effects. Of course the shark is fake and some breakdowns can point out all the mechanics but the way it was filmed was so seamless that you feel it’s REAL. Sold out cinema and really fun watch.

I watched Elvis on HBO and I loved it and I hated it. Like viscerally. Both. The performance scenes were electrifying. Overall it was uneven. I got bored at times and the exposition scenes dragged some. Austin Butler smashed it. The young boy who played child Elvis was also great. Channeling the stage presence of Elvis was something else. Otoh I can’t believe I’m going to say this but Tom Hanks was awful. I can’t decide if it was bad writing or bad casting or bad acting. His accent and fat prosthetics were so distracting and cartoonish. Teared up at the end. The real footage of Elvis in his last performances were terribly sad. I didn’t ( ... )

I contain multitudes. Watched Man for a Day (doc), Adventures of Elmo in Grouchland (give me more sesame/muppets, always), and tomorrow I will see Decision to Leave.
