New trailer for Marriage Story: [link]

One of my favourite films from TIFF. The entire cast is phenomenal across the board. I legit teared up a little just watching the trailer. Prepare yourself to be emotionally destroyed, mhwahahaha!! *ahem* That said, it's never bleak, and the way it navigates through the Divorce Industrial Complex is quite funny in an absurdist-comedy type fashion.

Driver, Johansson and Dern have Oscar noms in the bag, and if Alan Alda makes it to the Best Supporting (a bit of a longer shot), it would be 4 for 4. Can't remember last time that happened.

FYI, they added a bunch of new cities for Parasite rollout. Chicago, SF, Washington DC etc. for this weekend, and many others for the next weekend. It's coming to Pitt on Nov 1st, yay!

Ann, that's a ferret.

I saw an ad for a remake of Doctor Doolittle starring Robert Downey, Jr. Looked interesting, but darker than I'd like to see the story told. Anybody have any thoughts?

Doctor Doolittle

It was supposed to open this summer, but the studio pushed it back to January, which might give you some indication of how much confidence they have in the project.

They dropped the trailer for this movie this week and honestly I thought it looked terrible. I've also heard the production was super expensive and riddled with problems. Someone from the production put up a Reddit thread listing all kind of ridiculous shenanigans on set, but I can't find it any more -- it's probably been scrubbed.

I wish RDJ went for more interesting projects that challenged him a bit more, but I don't think he cares that much. Which is a pity.

Last trailer for The Rise of Skywalker: [link]

I was like "eh, it's a so-so trailer" then the music kicked in and I was like OMG GIMME. Damn you, John Williams! The tickets went on sale yesterday just around the time the trailer came out, so my local geek buddy and I went and booked a Dolby showing for Saturday morning. I AM EXCITE!

Still not sure what to think about the whole Palpatine angle but I'm going in with an open mind.

LOL at those horses on a freakin' spaceship.

Knives Out was so much fun. And the set design of the house was incredible. I don't just want to go to there. I want to live there always.

Has anyone seen the new Addam's family movie? Is it appropriate for a four year old?

Monti took her kids to see it and said it was incredibly boring, and her kids were bored too.

I don't think there were any worrisome scares though.
