Saw "Black Mass" last night. The performances are all really good, but it's kind of plodding. It doesn't really explore the story, just kinda... tells it. Depp is good and has a couple of truly chilling scenes.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
How much is Cumberbatch in it? Billy Bulger is one of my favorites.

Not a whole lot. His Boston accent is quite good and he underplays nicely.

He's just so wrong physically.

Forget Cumberbatch. I turned down an invitation to a Black Mass screening because I knew I wouldn't be able to stand Depp's hair and makeup for 2+ hours.

Just imagine him telling people to buy a Chrysler and get off his damn lawn, like Bill Hader spoofing those Clint Eastwood ads.

As I reported on Twitter, I have seen The Martian and it is good.
ETA: It had actual women doing actual jobs (well) and talking to other actual women. And actual people of color doing actual jobs (well) and talking to other people of color. Clearly, it takes place in the future.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I am really looking forward to seeing it!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I feel that way about a lot of bio pics, so not too surprising. I kinda want to see it just to see Depp's performance.

I made the mistake of renting Playing It Cool last night. Oh my Lord, it should have been titled Navel-Gazing: The Movie. When I fast-forward through most of a Chris Evans romcom you know it's intolerable.
