What about when the house gets covered in blood? I gotta rewatch Nope, Peele’s best IMO. I have so many problems with Us, another weird selection.

Us is way overhated. People got really caught up with that one not tying up as neatly as Get Out, which I think makes it a little more endearing (even if Get Out and Nope are the better films). Casper Kelly!!
Initial reactions are coming in for WEAPONS and they’re all overwhelmingly positive. I try to take these things with a grain of salt, but reading through them…I can’t wait.
Man I forgot about Mandy. Watched that high as Flood on edibles like a month into the lockdown. What a wild ride.
been feeling so scatter-brained lately. within the past few weeks, i've 1) locked myself out of my car (my dad had a spare key), 2) forgotten my phone in a public restroom (i got it back), 3) gotten a flat tire (my dad was able to pump it and we got it patched), 4) gotten another flat tire (the same tire! my dad was able to put in the spare tire). i'm so grateful i'm able to rely on my dad, but liek, i'm in my fucking 30s, shouldn't i be more independent by now? i keep forgetting to renew my passport, and if i don't do it within the next few days, i won't be able to do it online and will have to send my old one in by mail with the application. i almost finished it months ago and all i needed was the picture and i. just. can't. and it's not even like i'm changing my gender marker or anything. is this what they call executive dysfunction? i've been constantly on the phone scheduling various doctor's appointments for my mom and grandpa. i hate talking on the phone. and i'm also the one taking my grandpa to these appointments (and sometimes my mom). i hate going to see the doctor. so whenever i have to schedule something for myself i just keep putting it off. i need to take better care of myself but i'm just so tired of waiting rooms and doctors' offices. a few of my friends had ppl close to them die recently, some of whom were close to my grandpa's age. he's doing well but i can't help but worry. and i feel bad even thinking about that, like, making it about me. i'm probably going to a funeral tomorrow so i can be there for my friend. i want to be supportive even when my own life feels like such a mess. there's Together early screenings tonight (it's for sure not gonna be surprise Pete Davidson) but i don't think i'm in the right mood.
Almost went to a Together early screening but decided against because I could see in the app that it would be crowded. So instead I’m watching Thirst, my first Chan-Wook (I KNOW, I’LL WATCH OLDBOY SOON), and I’m absolutely loving it. I really wasn’t expecting it to be this unhinged and hilarious.
Tonight’s movie is Without Warning. It’s early 80s alien sci-fi/slasher that feels like a clear influence for Predator. The movie is a lot of fun with every part of it being better than I expected.
