i'm thinking of joining my city's film society because they have a special screening of his three daughters next month and i need to see it

This week, we only got to Didi, which was cute, if not as good as I'd hoped. [Spoiler (click to open)]I did cry at Joan Chen's speech at the end though!! Seeing that kid being so mean to his mom was absolutely killing me.

Tonight, we've got The Red Shoes at the Academy Museum. I've never seen a Powell and Pressburger film before (I know, do I even like movies?!), but this seemed like a good one to start that journey.

I kinda want to see Cuckoo, but my husband does not seem interested. Still need to get to Sing Sing and Kneecap. May also check out Klute this weekend - they're doing a Donald Sutherland retrospective and I've never seen it before.

I forgot Cuckoo is out this weekend. It looked pretty good.

With the revolving door of internet/cell phone outages, I have managed to get to the halfway point of rewatching What Happened to Monday after about 5 sittings so far. Does Glenn Close have an overall deal with Netflix to just be in their random movies when it calls for an older white woman character? Willem Dafoe is also in it, but lmao this movie remains, "What if Orphan Black but it's Noomi Rapace in a dirty dystopia?"

remember when glen close was in the world of warcraft film

i watched cinemawins vid on it and then i saw her and was like

does she even know what she is saying

[squirrels_oh_no]

I kind of want to say that maybe Glenn Close hasn't won an Oscar because for every good, Oscar-caliber movie she's in, she's in 5 that are TERRIBLE and people remember. Or, like What Happened to Monday, exist for no discernable reason but aren't abjectly terrible. Her accent work in it is terrible, though.

[daredevilwolf]

She should have won for fatal attraction imo

Heading to Cuckoo tonight -- I've tried to stay super spoiler-free, so this will be an adventure. 👍 I'll definitely catch Daughters when it comes out...hard pass on Borderlands lol
