But Texas is important.

Damnit.

Sigh.
 
The Ritz was the first Alamo location to get a 70mm projector, but my understanding is Alamos around Austin will get a 70mm showing eventually. Just not on the first run.



I'm more hype about getting to see 2001 in 70mm again in about a month.
 
Saw Beach Bum finally this weekend on LurchingBeast recommendation.

It pleasantly surprised me in many regards. The reality checks peppered in vs the concept of the world/karma working to make him happy was a decent enough balance. Ending was predictable as the table couldn't have been more obviously set so that left it a bit lacking.

I'm still not sure what I think overall or if I'd recommend it to anyone. Def not the best I've seen in 2019.
 
Got around to seeing Us finally today. I avoided almost everything about the story, simply knowing there are these doubles and something about rabbits, which turns out doesn't spoil anything.

Overall, I enjoyed it as an interesting thriller, but expected quite a bit more from the story and in whatever deeper meaning was to come. Maybe it's because I was only born in '87 and a big part of that deeper theme has to do with events prior to that, but I feel like Us was trying to be too deep for me to wrangle without doing some further studying.

I understood a lot of the things that were being highlighted during the film, but I had to go look up Hands Across America and dive into what happened there in order to connect the dots fully. I just come out feeling like the message and the film itself are too disconnected for that theme to fully land while integrated into a horror/thriller.

Good film and great acting, I just wanted more.

Quentin Tarantino Says His 'Star Trek' Film Will Be Like 'Pulp Fiction' In Space - SlashFilm

In a new interview, director Quentin Tarantino explains that, despite claims to the contrary, his Star Trek movie would be like Pulp Fiction in space.

Hahaha. Please let him make this.

“As long as Paramount likes the idea and the script they almost got nothing to lose right now when it comes to Star Trek,” Tarantino said. “Deadpool showed that you can rethink these things, do them in a different way. So really, even before JJ knew what the idea was, his feeling was, if it wants to be an R rating, fine. If it wants to be the Wild Bunch in space, fine.”
 
I went to see Midsommar again last night. It reaffirmed my love for it. It's actually quite a hilarious movie.

I knew the crying in unison was the pivotal scene where Dani becomes one with the Harga and the final scene shows how pain to any of them effects all of them. But I missed that it also happens when the old man survives the ritualistic suicide and screams in pain. Then the crowd abruptly stops when the finishing hammer is brought down.

I also missed the wink and nod from the director right before they approach the ledge when it cuts to a shot of a young man standing in the back who turns to look directly into the camera, breaking the fourth wall as if to say 'yep, this is really going to happen.'

Christian's semi was bloodier than I remember as well...

Watched this last night. I loved most of it but was a bit confused by the theme. On one hand you have the thought that is stated in the movie (he can only afford to live this way because privileged) and on the other hand you have the burning boat scene. I saw it as an attempt to prove the previously posited theory wrong.

I think I just need to watch it again.

Also, new Orleans is full of people like him. It's pretty wonderful.

I don't think it ever mattered to him. The closest thing you'll get to an answer is probably this quote:

Failing upwards is very timely.
