Where was the coronavirus when they were getting ready to release Cats?!?
Whoa. Good myth.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
Birds of Prey was so much fun!
My only issue as a Batfamily fan is THAT IS NOT CASS CAIN. Like, the character was fine; she just needed a different name because HOLY SHIT CASS CAIN IS NOT A PICKPOCKET SHE IS A TRAINED ASSASSIN AND MY BATGIRL. ita would back me up 100% on that. She was a huge Cass Cain fan.
I miss when Ewan McGregor whipped his dick out in every movie he was in. IJS.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I wondered about that (Cass Cain) when I heard the name. Literally all I know about the character is what I have picked up here, so I wasn't sure that wasn't part of her backstory somehow...

Also, every time I see the trailer for Wonder Woman 1984, I get more excited to see it.

Steph, Gail Simone agrees with you.
I like her, she's fun to watch, the actress is adorable (Ella Jay Basco) is great in the role. But she bears no resemblance to Cass. I don't think of it as an insult so much as a missed opportunity.

Vindication! I did like the character; she just needed a different name.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I finally saw Yesterday today, on the assumption that I'd like it fine because I love alternate-timeline stories and Kate McKinnon, and because my dad is self-isolating alone in a large home and feeling sad and restless and I thought he'd like it. I liked it much more than I'd expected to--have a feeling it's going to become one of my comfort-food movies (pretty much everything Kate McKinnon has been in ends up on that list, and this is no exception).
Plus, bonus Lamorne Morris! I will take more of him when and wherever I can get him, and if Richard Curtis and Danny Boyle ever want to do a loopy buddy comedy with him and Kate McKinnon I would be all over it (especially if it somehow also involves cats; we already know Kate is utterly devoted to her cat husband and that Lamorne can do entire lengthy scenes with a cat as his only scene partner with heartbreaking sincerity).
I was just utterly charmed by all the performances, and there were little grace notes that I loved and one twist that I only twigged to about 5 seconds before the reveal that brought me to totally unexpected tears.
I think this falls under PMoon's "If you like this kind of thing, this is just the kind of thing you'll like" rubric, but as it turns out it is just the kind of thing I like.

I really liked it too, JZ. My favorite scene was when he tries to play "Let It Be" for his parents.

Everyone who has ever tried to show their parents something important and meaningful while their parents are totally absorbed in being, well, themselves, can identify.

Our wings are not tired.
It was a completely charming movie. Good idea for comfort food as needed.
