Maybe the only movie I can think of that doesn’t make Connecticut seem awful 

(I am from and love Connecticut)

Is Justin Theroux’s top billing as David Lynch in this the biggest vanity credit of all time?

Naomi a genius - that is the only thing I am sure of about this at all

There’s something so sexy about Scrooge McDuck

(If Audrey and the guy from Barcelona exist in this - is Chris Eigeman some kind of clone?)

1/2 a heart really. These people are all so beautiful and there are moments of really beautiful vulnerability but it felt both overstuffed plot wise and oddly lethargic mood wise

Never noticed how much Eloise reminds  me of Rock Hudson before this

I know I’m only 2 movies into his work, but I already feel like a Whit Stillman joke that sneaks up on you out of some long quiet scene is one of my favorite things in all of cinema

Also hilarious- casting Mira Sorvino as Spanish in this. Love her, but…what?

Best Musical

On the big screen on a rainy Saturday - perfect. Helped me really understand how well this *moves* 

Also need to rewatch Wright’s Anna K for similar style and yearning reasons

Maybe the most Cameron Crowe-y of the Cameron Crowe movies that work. A delightful mix of absurdity and achingly true detail. (The way that “Luis” just shrugs when he sees her at the bar…seared into me…)

Finally got to witness this assume it’s final form - with commercials on AMC

I did not understand a single decision made by any character, but the style was impeccable 

Wang Chung Forever

Look…I went to boarding school, so I too have have had a long argument with an overdressed man about why I like Mansfield Park only to find out he hasn’t read it.

The dad with his car and perfect roses was probably on the spectrum too right?

Annual viewing. Really struck this time by the use of shadows - Rick in silhouette in his office, Ilsa in the stripe of the blinds

There is a moment in this that is the most I have cried in a movie all year. End the marriage penalty.

This was too important to me at too formative of a time for me to be objective, but I think this gets too much ridicule. Sorry you all hate your earnest teen selves…this is clumsy but lovely and you all need to embrace the cringe in your hearts

Beside the many more important points about this film…has Joe Alwyn ever played a not rapey character?!?

Steve McQueen’s Spielberg’s War Horse

Makes me want to move back to New England

Not enough of you are giving Ed Norton as Pete Seeger the respect he deserves

Never has a first impression been more right than when Clarence sees George Bailey and says “it’s a good face, I like him”

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

Full disclosure: I am the archivist at the Reversible Destiny Foundation (Arakawa and Madeline Gins’s artist foundation) but even if I weren’t I would count seeing this on the big screen as a truly revelatory experience. Maybe the best child performance ever? Definitely in the running

A great New York movie
A great overnight movie
A great montage movie
