Movie You're Watching Tonight

Dying to see this. Never did I think I’d live to see Soderbergh make a ‘proper’ horror film. I’m feeling better today, so looking forward to this on the big screen.

In an utterly empty cinema, too. Lucky me. This happens a lot, but still crazy. I’m glad things are still being screened, though I do wonder if any cinemas apart from Everyman at £25 per ticket will still be around in 10 years.
Oh my God, the Harrison Ford ‘Don’t Make Him Angry’ ad is brilliant and hilarious. I must show it to my father.
As expected, I really enjoyed this. Many aspects of it.

I understand the message about promiscuous youth (even if it’s less true nowadays, heh, as it were), but the fact the sister ****s this random guy within twenty minutes of knowing him is just bizarre and tragic. She doesn’t even get to take a look at any of her brother’s other friends, doesn’t even consider her options. I guess this is ‘normal’ nowadays and Soderbergh’s point is also that it’s normal (and of course he does show the guy isn’t to be trusted, but he doesn’t even make Chloe reluctant, like she’s got no standards or preferences or analytical skills whatsoever, dear Lord — which, again, I suppose it’s because of her PTSD/depression), but wtf.

Soderbergh does love his long takes and strange camera angles. They’re somewhat migraine-inducing but they do work here.
I love the dad. He is cool. That being said, I don’t know if anyone is meant to like/relate to Lucy Lui’s character and the son, but as always, I do.

I genuinely feel sad for the family members who just want to live, have fun, spend money, enjoy themselves, but are forced to babysit someone ‘vulnerable’/messed-up/depressed. I’ve been there, and I really isn’t fair at all. Anyway, the bit about present, past and future being one is also awesome — my favourite people Moorhead and Benson love that concept.



This looks interesting. Never heard of it. The girl looks like Kiernan Shipka (yes, I know it’s not her).
So far so good. I'm in a meeting so it's on pause.

The girl is Rose Byrne.

I’m so glad I’m not the only one that does that (even here)! I had to give a huge presentation today and it went really well, even though my voice barely functions and overall I’m super-sick. Watched films all day until then (3 pm) and after. Made lots and lots of different tea, herbal, fruit, etc. A pretty great day if I forget my cold.

Love Rose Byrne, but she’s unrecognisable in that photo.



At the movies again.

This seems a bit ridiculous so far, but okay. To be fair, I never did get slashers, less so, jokey ones. I like X and some oldie classics, but that’s about it. It would have been great if this abandoned all comedic ambitions and explored the idea that the advertising industry invented the modern concept of romantic love.
Well, I do recognise a London ad agency. The boss is spot-on, all the way down to the accent. Hi there, Charlotte, long time, no see!
Nah, this sucks. All this asinine internet-speak and linguistic abominations (however, it feels like this was meant to be set in the U.K., hence the Britishisms like ‘babes’ — but then why the American flag?! The setting seemed very confused). I hated the comic elements, naturally. The guy is very annoying, he should get skinned asap and have his liver eaten with some Fava beans and a nice Chianti.
I absolutely hate Jay, but the film has its moments.
Stunned that the director is a man.
The detective woman is super-hot.



I liked it very much. Hugh Grant, as I always say, has a lovely voice.

I absolutely adored it, too. Seen it four times by now. He does have such a presence. Sophie Thatcher is also pretty great, I’ve liked her ever since Yellowjackets.

I bailed out of Yellowjackets a long time ago. Probably mistaken.

It was nothing much, but I thought it had a certain atmosphere to it, so I do plan on watching season 3. I don’t tend to like all-female casts, but that was an exception.



Hello movie loving gang, i'm just sharing the link to my Letterboxd list where i'm going through my film collection a little bit at a time, this is i know the wrong way to experience films, but it's become for me a part of everything else i consume, a little bit at a time, from a wide array, giving an almost immediate feel of more films one could experience if they were all watched from beginning to end one at a time. I keep track of where i left off and will slowly progress, however due to the number of films eventually in the mix more content will be enjoyed, deceptively, like gazing for long periods of time at a desert and seeing things appear, hallucinating, tripping out, ahh yes, and all with dad right beside me, when i do a risque film part, i gently adivse him to not pay too much attention and urge him to have some shut eye, this is how i can fit in film into the whole, the whole being all of my interests.

I’m still super-sick. Family asked to find biblical films. This is sort of the worst of them, but I couldn’t find any Cecil B. DeMille on Prime (which I understand — who would watch that except me), so had to settle.
