Movies: Poor Things, Barbie and Oppenheimer are stuck in La La Land

[Kepler]

Tried to watch Bugonia and The Substance and my brain said "not today, sweets."

Apparently, when one is feeling gross and dysphoric, The Substance is not what I should be watching.

I'm guessing Cronenberg is out too.

Odd Man Out on TCM at 8am tomorrow. I've always like James Mason, and this is one of his better roles.

If I had legs I'd kick you

give rose byrne all the awards

a word of warning: its kind of like uncut gems, where you feel stressed for most of the movie.

 

[Kepler]

I'm already stressed enough thanks.

Excited to see Michael B Jordan win the Actor Award last night. I always like when former soap stars reach a pinnacle like that.

What soap was he on?

My first viewing of him was as a skinny little gang banger on The Wire.

He did not come to a good end.

After Ellie and Bing Bong I've gotten used to Pixar ripping my heart out but I did not expect this from a trailer for the Supergirl movie.

I have an in law that is never happy with where the group goes. When they inevitably say where we should have gone I always respond with a “No one goes there anymore” and a quick change of the subject. I think only my brother in law gets it.

I know there's a lot of split opinion on the film overall, but this is a brilliant moment of filmmaking

For all the advances in filmmaking, this Citizen Kane (1941) shot still feels untouchable.

Great film-making? Obviously. Great entertainment? Taste.

Yes I thought I was agreeing.

For my money, it's also one of the most entertaining movies of all time. The sequence where he and Joseph Cotton revive the paper is one of the greatest in history.
