Jurassic World All Falls Down: Spielberg was involved. If you have deep moral outrage against your heartstrings being yanked, be warned.

I was glad for tissues in my purse.

Claire Deering continues to be a badass. Moral ambiguity on all sides. Hard choices are confronted. Dinos without big horns or long necks or pointy bits tend to look alike in fights.

Fair warning: if the heartwrenching inevitable deaths of cuddly dinos is going to wreck you, rethink your plans or take a trusted crybuddy. There's a Spielbergian scene of maximum pathos that still makes me cry.

Oh, and people who look like kids to me are competent grownups with mad skills and it's very disconcerting to me.

I saw The Incredibles 2 yesterday. It was ok, but, I like the first one better. Still, the art and music had the same mid-century modern cool, which was fun to watch/hear.

Hey. New board.

I really enjoyed The Incredibles 2, mostly because more baby. I'd have to watch them one right after the other to rank them, but it's definitely more Toy Story 2 than Cars 2 in terms of Pixar sequel quality.

I saw Won't You Be My Neighbor tonight, the documentary about Fred Rogers. It's quite wonderful and inspiring and tear-jerking. What Would Fred Rogers Do, indeed.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

No one told me Lady Bird was full of Sondheim. I would have watched it sooner.

I loved Ladybird so much.

So I went to see Boots Riley's film Sorry to Bother You tonight, and everyone needs to see this. For one thing, it's crazy creative and funny -- although often the kind of funny that makes you wince because it's black humor about race relations and income inequality. But also the cast is amazeballs -- Lakeith Stanfield, Tessa Thompson, Danny Glover, Armie Hammer... It's just ridiculously good and wacky and insightful.

Because books.

The clips I've seen look fantastic.

Just the trailer of Danny Glover's character using his "white voice" had me rolling on the floor.
