suddenly I wish he were the frontrunner for Boy Erased.

Yeah you can stop right there.

Yeah I'd much rather see this succeed than The Lion King. Difference between funny and evil

Either Shay has hacked into your account or you got no excuse

Would be nice if this happened at the Oscars tbh.

uuuuuuh sure.

dug High Flying Bird. probably need a rewatch cause it's not a movie that ever stops to wait for you (in the final minutes especially) but that's welcome when you clearly sense that it's by and about professionals who know their shit. dialogue and cast are a joy. didn't think the iPhone added much to this unlike with Unsane. also a breath of fresh air to see a movie by an A-list American filmmaker that's so explicitly set *today* when practically all the big names seem unable to get out of the past.

So about a $31m OW and a 100 total if it manages not to collapse against Dragon. The Blade Runner 2049 of animated comedy sequels

How big exactly could WMW have been? Only way I could see it going beyond 100+ was if they'd cast Sandra Bullock or something. Henson has a fanbase, isn't as expensive, and the movie looks like it'll do nicely. Reviews I've read also make it sound like the movie doesn't solve its fundamental premise problem, i.e. that What Women Want was about Gibson getting humbled and learning his lessons, but a gender-flipped version is too busy being all "You go girl!" to find that kind of an audience-satisfying journey for its lead. The main hook doesn't work in reverse. Don't feel like there was ever a chance of aiming as high concept-wise or gross-wise.

Sean Penn out here showing all film writers everywhere what embarrassing nonsense looks like. A true inspiration

People who love nothing more in this world than to point a finger at someone and say "hypocrisy" like a magic word are definitely my favorites

When Pink praises Linda Cardellini but not for Mad Men

Late 2010s movie culture in a nutshell

Haven't seen anything Lemmons made since then but Eve's Bayou is a really good, original, slept-on movie. Good to see her behind the camera again, hope the result is more than what you'd expect a standard Focus Features movie with this logline to be like.

Can You Ever Forgive Me is pretty good. Would be an all-timer if it were just a misanthropic middle-aged Withnail & I with 100 minutes of McCarthy and Grant drinking and sniping at people though. The true crime stuff works on a character level but still feels like basically an obligation. It's too bad Ali has stolen Grant's seeming initial momentum in the supporting actor race, a delightful performance and it would've been very nice to see him win. Thinking about it McCarthy is my favorite in her category too.

Really dug Unsane. Regret having slept on it all these months. Overstuffed, sure, and increasingly preposterous near the end, but Foy is awesome (after First Man and this I'll watch her in anything. okay, except The Crown) it moves like a sonuvabitch and you know what I kinda loved the look. That iPhone harshness as employed here actually feels like a pretty close digital analogue to rough '70s grain for me.

It doesn't alas. Still there are... options.

I've seen that episode it rules. Weird to me that it isn't considered one of the show's big classics on par with Maple Street or Time Enough at Last. Also doppelgangers are perhaps the most underused cool horror idea? I wasn't big on Get Out but this looks entirely like my jam. Can't wait.

No he didn't.
