I don't think the movie was on anybody's side.
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
I've only just learned that PT Anderson is married to Maya Rudolph (!) -- she's guest starring in The Good Place right now but I've loved her in loads of stuff before. Apparently, they've been together for 15+ yeas and have four kids. Then I came across this gifset of PT Anderson interview re. genesis of Phantom Thread and it made me laugh and laugh: [link]
It makes for a fun compare/contrast between this and Aronosky and mother! re. relationship power dynamics and RL bleeding into art.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I feel like I must have known that before, but it sure felt new when I heard it recently.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thelma sounds familiar - that might be the movie we watched about half of and had to turn off for some reason. I should watch the whole thing. Scandinavian movies tend to have a cold dark humor I just don't get.

Oy - Three Billboards. I'm off to read all the articles I've been avoiding the last three months. I felt so manipulated. I was not cheering the bumbling asshole doing good. I was only half cheering the righteously angry mom acting out.

I'm feeling good about my life choices. Even though I won't have seen most Oscar movies this year.

Amazing. Looking back, I think my favourite scene in the movie is the wordless bit with Alma lovingly preparing the omelet. And Reynolds in the background, realizing and accepting his fate.

I made today a show day and drove to Memphis to see Ladybird (and then go to one of the live theatres for a production of Topher Payne's A Perfect Arrangement ). It was well-filmed and all the acting was top-notch, but the story kind of left me cold. I wasn't really rooting for or sympathizing with anyone except the dad, and the ending felt really tacked on.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The Public, the film shot in flea's library, had its first screening last week.

Watched Blade Runner on DVD last night. I just loved the look, much like I did the first one. Sentient birthed non-human humans that can die just make my brain twist in a way that doesn't quiet. see also Battlestar Galactica. But the electronic wife thing that learned and engaged that made my teeth hurt.
I covet an abandoned town in post-apocalyptic world though.
