It turns out I'm not seeing it this weekend, because it doesn't open here yet, just a one night only screening that I can't make it to. Grrr. I WANT TO SEE MY FISH MONSTER/LADY ROMANCE.
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

Say Ladybird tonight and did not love it. I expected to love it and I just liked it.

Who decided Get Out was a "comedy or musical"? [link]

Someone who didn't see the movie, I'm guessing. I mean the friend at TSA was comic relief, but that wasn't a big part of the movie.

Actually, the studio and director made that decision, because the "comedy or musical" category has become a catch-all for any genre film, which helps the genre films not go up against big dramas like Dunkirk.
The year The Martian was released, it was nominated as a comedy or musical, and it won.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I could almost buy The Martian as a musical.

Yeah, that's annoying and weird. You might as well call the categories "Oscar Movies" and "Golden Globe Movies."

Ah. That makes a weird sort of sense, I guess.

I've heard Jordan Peele joke, in an interview, that as far as he's concerned it's a documentary.

Finally saw The Florida Project and loved it, as predicted. (I also really liked Baker's Tangerine from 2015.) I think it will be near the top of my 2017 list, but I feel like my list changes with every movie I see.
Also caught A Ghost Story on DVD (which I did not expect to like at all but really did). Very poetic.
