Both of those are showing at my local theater, megan, and I didn't know anything about them other than so that's super helpful. The blurb for Past Lives said it was heartrending and I don't know if that's something I want, but I probably do want to see something you recommend so highly
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

I'm not sure I would say "heartrending" but I did tear up a bit. But I've also been dating someone (mostly) long-distance for the past 10 years so it probably hit a bit differently than it might otherwise.

I think this quotation from the director is a good summary of how Past Lives hits on an emotional level:
"My wish if you go and see this movie is that it takes you on a journey within yourself: to all the places you might have gone, or the places you’ve been without even realizing it, or the places you feel maybe, perhaps, inexplicably, you’ve been in another life."

In a shocking third-act twist, I went out to the movies yet again this week. This time to see Joy Ride (the directorial debut of Adele Lim, who co-wrote Crazy Rich Asians among other things). I found it extremely entertaining if a bit too raunchy/raucous for my taste and it has some issues with tonal shift. In any case, I'm glad I saw it in a theater as it's just that sort of movie. The elderly ladies sitting near me obviously enjoyed it. Make of that what you will.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

My wife, who due to various health issues finds going to the theater a major struggle, really wants us to go see it as a family despite having no prior familiarity with the character. So I think the trailers are doing their job.

I am curious where Gunn is going with the lineup. No objections to the casting, it just feels like an odd collection of heroes.
