Unbelievable. Pure and perfect. One of the best theater experiences I’ve had in years. 

📍 The Orpheum Theatre for Last Remaining Seats with Los Angeles Conservancy 

War itself! Great watch post-The Rehearsal s2. Letting Connor pick my Saturday morning movie more often.

Beautiful way to wear your heart on your sleeve. I shed one tear. Time IS happening isn’t it?

📍 Brain Dead Studios 

I truly love being a woman. I know my sisters would pull that ******** outta me, as I would for them.

The shadows, and the hymns, and the framing, and Cooper, and Willa, and the shadows…. Haunting! It will be for a lifetime.

This is the character I want to be in my neighborhood— sentimental freeloader, constant tresing, demanding respect, deranged, everyone knows me, etc.

Resuming my Whitmer Thomas obsession.

Happy Mother’s Day awooooooo

📍 The Frida Cinema 

When I tell you I’m lighting a candle for you, imagine me doing that exact sequence in your honor.

The sounds coming outta this are nuts.

One last chance, one last chance, one last chance.

Me hearting this most ardently. 

20th Anniversary screening 

Immediately sought Lustmord.

Michael can get B Jordan’ed, if you catch my drift.

📍 TCL Chinese Theatre IMAX 

Forgive me, father, for I have sinned (watched this on a plane).

2 and a half minute viewing with Davey B. Gravey. Wish I could properly articulate what comes over me in these screenings, but I am moved to tears at the combination of instruments in his live score. 
I was like “Davey, this is one of my favorite things on earth. If I ever get married I want you to have the tiny cinema at the reception.” And he was like “cool! Have a sticker” lol 

📍 Davey B. Gravey’s Tiny Cinema 

FOR EVERYTHING, IN THE FINAL RECKONING, HAS A MEANING, me explaining why 25% of this has the pee filter. 
Crazy seeing the inspiration origins of my faves all over this. Genuinely, I’ll be chasing a Stalker high for the rest of my life.

Very few things come to mind when I consider better options to watch with my brother. Our take aways and interpretations were totally different, not unlike our childhoods and relationships to our mother, hello. So much to pick apart and so completely on the nose.

Continuing with my 2007 comforts. Um this movie rules and separate but related, Kimiko Glenn’s rendition of When He Sees Me from the musical adaptation of this movie is perfect and maybe it’s one of the greatest songs of all time, period.

Sondre Lerche had me in a chokehold for like 10 years after this came out.

I’m watching this 100 times this year I’m saying that right now.

ahdkdhalfjslj Babygirl haters have never experienced the high of manipulation and brain damage from a situationship. Or maybe they’re just healed. 

The four stars all for Harris’ back definition. I need to rave with this man.

One of a kind and incredibly special. So much thought and effort from start to finish and those transitions are seamless. Never seen anything like it and doubt it’s even possible to rival how singular it is. 

(side note: the very fidgety theater collectively turned completely still and held their breath for the last hour. I also drove most of the way home in silence, not realizing it)

Had a moment of grief while watching, thinking about how my mom would have loved this.

Long beautiful sequences, with lots of socioeconomic context going into this version. It is one of my favorite stories with such beautiful writing throughout, but this retelling doesn’t really allow the apex of the story enough space to breathe. I want to dance with those babies in the finale!!!!

(Finding a Vince Guaraldi Trio version of Samba De Orfeo somehow makes watching this on Christmas Day make total sense)

And yet,

…we are fated.

Okay so this has some of the best visuals and camera work I’ve ever seen in my life?? Stunned.

90% of this was dubbed. Only 40% present day Kraven? (The reason I am here..) 10% scenes ripped directly from Twilight. 100% lead up to that final shot, which we all nod our heads in approval. 

And obviously, ATJ and Christopher Abbott together on a screen, call me a Kraven Maven.

Main film and score starter pack for Molly. I can’t overstate how much musical influence those notes have on my overall taste now. More importantly, this captures what creative mania feels like— fuck my wife and children, this is bigger than all of us, and it’s time to believe in that feeling. 

📍 The Frida Cinema -Only Screening 

I felt like Lee, searching for this to reach me with my outstretched, hazy hand and it just never quite did. 

Drew Starkey was talking to me without speakinggg, I’ll say that much. 

📍The Frida Cinema

Those last shots are so beautiful! God!!!!

Someone threw this on while we were making paper snowflakes ok, and no I didn’t forget to rate it, that’s right I’m saying ZERO stars

I’m not worried at all, I know I’ll find my loved ones in every lifetime.

A Thanksgiving movie. Gonna start saying cinnamon instead of cinema.
