I have been out of the loop for a few weeks. Blue Moon today was my first time at a theater in a while. I need to get to Frankenstein, this, The Mastermind, the Panahi film, and the Guadagnino one. Maybe the Springsteen movie if I can get my blood pressure down.
I'm on my way to the art house now to see Time of Wolf but the metro was closed so I'm on the bus and the bus was late so now I'm going to miss the start because they don't play ads
This was a lot of fun. Admire the commitment to really go for it in the third act. Don’s suicide absolutely broke my heart.
I hadn't thought about this but in retrospect you're absolutely right it felt so unnecessarily graphic, felt that way when I was watching too
Yorgos interview on The Big Picture podcast from last Friday is good - talks at the end about working with an inexperienced neurodivergent actor which is cool
that he used to be super awkward and weird in interviews and stuff but seems to "understand" the machine/game of hollywood now and is more chill now and also that he thinks greek league/euro basketball is better than the nba which is insane
This is what immediately had me out on “Shelby Oaks.” The red-band trailer started with a guy committing suicide and I just feel like we really don’t need that. But this was really gross.
I'd read the synopsis before going to see Bugonia, which I guess spoiled the movie, but liek, they were so good at keeping it a mystery that I wasn't sure whether or not he was gonna do the same ending until, well, the end
Saw this last weekend. I liked it. Ever since I saw the trailer I knew the ending, but it did a good job of making me second guess my initial thoughts about 3/4 of the way through. I thought the movie did a good job at keeping the right amount of humor while also keeping the tone consistent. Felt bad for Don, though.
This was good. I had a feeling about this twist going in, but I don't know that I loved it in execution. Probably his meanest since Killing of a Sacred Deer. Kinds of Kindness may actually be my favorite of his , but I still need to see The Favourite.
TBH I have only seen this, Poor Things, The Lobster, and The Favourite. Still need to see Kinds of Kindness, Killing of a Sacred Deer, and his older Greek stuff.
