at the end of spider-verse [Spoiler (click to open)]a woman in the theatre literally yelled “NO!” when the to be continued came up on the screen lol while other people were gasping and cheering. it was wild. empire strikes back is one of my fave movies ever so seeing the comparisons got me excited and it didn’t disappoint. stellar sequel.

this weekend i want to finally watch polite society and maybe chevalier too. i can’t wait for this work week to be over so i can get home, order takeout, and just zen out with a movie.

Went to a sold out early screening of Asteroid City last night. I'd originally planned to see it in a regular theater tonight, but once the screening was announced, I knew wanted to be with a crowd of people who were all gonna be into it, and that paid off - the crowd reactions were fantastic.

It's really funny, it's structurally intriguing, and the cast is great. No one, aside from maybe Jason Schwartzman and Scarlett Johansson, gets a TON of screen time - it's a real ensemble piece. Tom Hanks fits so perfectly in his role, and I really hope we see him in more stuff like this. Jeffrey Wright is easily my favorite recent addition to the WA troupe. And while other WA films have resonated more for me emotionally, there is a short scene at the end that made me shed a couple of tears.

Overall, I really liked it, but it didn't hit the highs of The French Dispatch for me. And I know a lot of people don't like that one at all, where it is one of my faves. So I think Wes Anderson is just one of those filmmakers where everyone has their

It’s been a while Wes. But I think I may be sold on Asteroid City. The Blackening and Maggie Moore may have possibilities..

But I’ve been bitten by trailer hype too many times to work up much enthusiasm. The most I can muster is ‘let’s just wait and see’.
