Yeah I wanted to catch it but wasn't able so had to wait for streaming. Same, unfortunately, as Testament of Ann Lee more recently (and visually, maybe more regretfully). I get that there are marketing budgets and they need to prioritize but just dont get the thinking sometimes.

The reaction to Queer seemed so muted but I loved it. Just amazingly put together.

It comes from us all

In Denver for a work conference, downtown. Anyone have suggestions for downtime?

This is why I will never be without a CD burner.

So sorry to hear. Such a difficult thing, but you gave him such a loving home and gave him the best chance you could. ♥️

Always. I dont do anything for it, just relax. But why not?

Yes! I've had it for years but put it off because it seemed too intimidating, but I flew through it.

Just got to the Mickey episode of The Comeback and it was a genuinely moving, beautiful half hour of TV. Always loved the show but this season has been next-level.

Weisz in Deep Blue Sea is one of my favorite film performances ever.

I can't explain either but this is 100% true.

Watched The Testament of Ann Lee tonight and it was better than all of the Best Picture nominees. Robbed!

Petersen in To Live and Die in LA is among the hottest any person has ever been in a movie.

People are acting like this doesn't look amazing. Which is puzzling, because it does.

My favorite Spike Lee

Ridiculous townie bullshit that, in actuality, gets you insular clique leadership and stagnat communites.

Really loved this one. Underrated.

I drive constantly now that I live in Kansas City. When I was in Seattle, I'd only drive when I absolutely had to and I miss that so much.

Ebert mentions, I think in the Oscar episode for that year, that Voight should have been considered for a Supporting Actor nomination. He loved it.

Weisz in this is one of my top 3 film performances I've ever seen.

Aside from Bill Kristol (what a world we live in) the Bulwark crew's advice to Democrats all comes down to "Be 2007 Republicans."

I love Blue Velvet, Mulholland Dr, etc, but this is Lynch's masterpiece to me.

People are talking about Bond today, so again I'm putting out there that it should 100% be Dev Patel, though of course he won't be because Hollywood is full of cowards.

The Reader was my answer to this.

The Reader. I was writing the blog for a small distribution company at the time and wrote a takedown that the editor didn't publish because the tone was too mean.

This is what really baffled me. It's supposed to be the grand finale to a multi-generational 9-film epic, and the plot is a totally disconnected scavenger hunt full of random new nobodies.

For some reason, her delivery of "I think I'd like a bagel" is still clear as day in my head.

I'd probably go with Birth, which I was the only person in the theater for at a 10pm screening during a snowstorm.

Woke up at 3am, and instead of falling back asleep my brain played every mistake I've ever made on a loop until my alarm went off, so I'm doing great!

Curtains for Zoosha
