'The Message'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Wake Up Dead Man is my favorite of the three, by a lot. Rian Johnson managed to ease back on the campiness, so that Craig was less Foghorn Leghorn, but also with the rest of the cast, and everything was dialed in perfectly.
Rewatching them all together, I still prefer the tightness of the first mystery, but Wake Up Dead Man is the best "film" by far. I was really sad it wasn't part of the awards conversation.
Speaking of which, my thoughts on this morning's nominations: [link]
The NYPL's Library for the Performing Arts has dredged up an archival clip of wee Timothée Chalamet performing in the ballet Romeo & Juliet and posted it to Instagram: [link] 😂 😂 😂
Wasn't sure if I should put this here or in Streaming, but I just watched Brittany Runs A Marathon last night and I thought it was pretty good. I only wish I could get my life moving by, you know, moving, but it was still a good reminder of the importance of a goal, whether it happens like you think it would or not And, I thought it was good that losing weight didn't immediately fix her life.
