Well, I was going to see The Wild Robot but with the weather the way it is... Maybe not.

I am excited to see how much Megalopolis bombs.

It's been a very movie-oriented week for me.

Last night was Salem's Lot, for the first night of Beyond Fest 2024. It was okay, not great - definitely would have spooked me as a kid though, so maybe it's better aimed at a young adult audience. I think the story really needs a limited series to cover all the good stuff. Lewis Pullman is a cutie, and I always enjoy Alfre Woodard and Bill Camp. I think it'll be on Max soon. They handed out the book to people in line, so I will probably reread it - haven't touched it in 15 years or so, but remember loving it!

Tuesday night's movie was The Substance, which I liked, but thought was overly long + gross. And on Monday, we saw Megalopolis, which is definitely in contention for one of the worst movies I've seen this year. The critics giving it four stars on Letterboxd... jail.

Tonight, we've got Lee, which I gather is going to be an also-ran for awards, considering the fact that it premiered at last year's TIFF and they are just bringing it out for release now. But I like the cast, and it

Please provide details on The Fall screening and Tarsem Singh Q&A once available. :)

Which Total Recall? The 1990 one or the 2012 one?

Never been more creeped out by Dianne Wiest, she is doing some WORK in that… I’m so unsettled lol, I just picture her in The Birdcage and now this is fucking me up

[squirrels_oh_no]

She's the villain in The 10th Kingdom, too LOL. Her accent was alllllll over the place in it, though.

I'll check out Rez Ball for sure - thanks OP! ❤️

I forgot that Lee premiered at TIFF. I need to search up my go-to critics for reviews. Has anyone seen it yet? Apprehensive about what Hollywood might do to her story but still hopeful since it's a female director with a decent resume.
