Revelations 21:4: "He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have ed away.”

"His name was Officer Roland Taverner, of Hermosa Beach, California. My best friend. He is a pimp. And pimps don't commit suicide."

Austin Danger Podcast #153. “At Last” by Etta James plays as I log this film. It’s been playing an awful lot in my mind working on the pod this year! Not to give too much away, but my big revelation here is how… obvious this movie is. They dive deep into the details to make you feel smart. Then, things go sideways. You’re screaming, covering your eyes. You don’t care so much about ribosomes. Spielberg sends the bowling ball of entertainment right down the middle — STRIKE!

While the two big set pieces are incredible, you can feel the gears on the “make it up as we go along” machine finally start to rust. I’d kill to see what the script looked like before Dead Reckoning came out.

maybe get someone else to write the script next time idk

The Netflix version of KNIVES OUT. Not bad by any means, just significantly less special. Painfully obvious social commentary almost took me out for good in the first act, but goddamn Benoit Blanc got me like he always will. I'll say this, though: quotes I've read this week about "franchise potential" are troubling when the formula is so exposed on the second round.

This is my 500th log on Letterboxd for the year. I'd like to thank you for bothering to read, the mods for not banning or (AFAIK) shadowbanning me, and Baz Luhrmann.
