One of Them Days was hysterical. SZA was great!

Seeing Wolf Man tonight. I’m hearing some not so good things, but I still believe The Invisible Man (2020) should’ve been Universal’s true jumping off point for the Dark Universe.

Last night, we went to a screening of Underwater (2020) with the director, William Eubank. I saw it when it came out in theaters, loved it then, and still love it now! A very fast paced creature feature with KStew at her hottest and a good ensemble. No character development, no outside plotting or scheming, just surviving at the bottom of the ocean. The Letterboxd score is... uhh... not favorable, but it really works for me.

The director Q&A was great! He seemed so excited to talk about the movie Apparently it was shelved for a while because of Disney buying Fox, and he seemed so psyched that it got a theatrical release at all, he wasn't sweating that it got basically no promo and a January release. It was nice to see a pretty good turnout in the theater last night, as well as other folks who worked on the film showing up to support the director - love LA for stuff like this.

Recent watches include: A Different Man (very good!), Flow (excellent), and Babygirl (fun, horny).

Planning to use A-List to see I'm Still Here and

Hope you enjoy The Sting! It's my dad's favourite movie and I have nice memories of watching it with him (plus it's good!)

This month, they've been doing a Paul Newman series - already played The Hustler, Hud, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Butch Cassidy and Cool Hand Luke, but they have a few more coming up!

Has anyone heard anything about Back in Action? I know Netflix is reticent sometimes to let reviews drop, but it's less than 12 hours until it pops onto the app.

Looking forward to watching A Different Man tomorrow!
