Angel: Eve. So, I guess we should, I don't know, talk? Eve: About what? Angel: About what happened back there with us. Eve: Angel, it's not like this is the first time I've had sex under a mystical influence. I went to U.C. Santa Cruz.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
We just saw Three Identical Strangers. Really gripping.

I saw On the Basis of Sex tonight. It was... fine. A bit by the numbers, really. But the cast was fine, and the clothes were great. Really, RBG is more inspirational.

I had heard the same from a friend who does film reviews. It is low on my Oscar Watch list as a result.

Can someone who's seen Boy Erased tell me (in spoiler font) if I'm going to end up horribly depressed by it?

I saw They Shall Not Grow Old this afternoon. It's an extraordinary achievement, I think. The way Jackson uses color to frame the war zone experience as distinct from the film set in the UK was very effective. It was not, in my opinion, a movie to bring young children to, and the one next to me seemed very disturbed by the images of dead, battered people and horses. I found it disturbing, too, but I was expecting it. Anyway, people interested in WWI should check it out. And those interested in filmmaking might find Peter Jackson's post-credits bit interesting.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
2019 Oscar noms are out: [link]
Some interesting picks, and I've chuffed to see several foreign films breaking out of Foreign Film ghetto and making it to other categories.
Most disappointing for me are tremendous small films I was hoping will get traction getting shut out -- The Eighth Grade (was hoping for a screenplay nom) and Leave No Trace in particular. Annihilation, probably my favourite film of the year, getting nothing, but that was not surprising. I'm astonished Beale Street didn't get a cinematography nomination -- it was the most gorgeous-looking film of the year for my money, maybe only next to Roma
Does this mean I have to go watch Vice? Wahhhh, I don't wanna.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I feel exactly the same way.
