Awesome. I was at a fest and saw A Ghost Story and The Big Sick, both terrific for entirely different reasons. Director David Lowery introduce AGS and seemed very humble and thoughtful, (and nervous).

I just love what an unapologetically happy ending this was to a show with so much misery. Everyone was accounted for! Laurie totally didn't kill herself, and still lives next door! 400 people showed at Matt's funeral! Kevin Sr. at 91, and still presumably as rowdy as ever. Kevin's a grandpa! In the end, they chose…
sigh
That married couple was utterly delightful. I vote for a spin-off. Also, I am in no doubt that Scott Glenn will still be in great shape at 91.
It will never be Cannes' biggest flop of all time so long as Southland Tales exists, (though I imagine the latter will prove more memorable than the former in the long term regardless).
Let me just say that Cigarettes after Sex's music is gorgeously ethereal and haunting, and I'd long been waiting for it to get some kind of mainstream exposure. Hearing those melancholy strains at the end did wonders for elevating an episode I wasn't all that nuts about.
Tim Burton: Ed Wood
Jim Jarmusch: Paterson
He expends just as much energy on keeping a British one here, and also hilariously seems to physically recoil whilst kissing Sienna Miller (he's a germophobe).
I'm honestly kinda shocked by the ecstatic reception this has gotten. The ambition is there, but whenever it stops for drama it turns stone cold dead, and Hunnam's completely leaden.
I ask ye, AV Club…what makes this movie more deserving of a Spoiler Space than Get Out?
It's incredibly weird to see people talking about this as a new release, in light of the fact that it seems to have been on Netflix for the better part of two years everywhere that isn't the US. Regardless, decent chiller, even though James Remar probably registers more than any of the other actors in a small…
Get Out finally arrived in the UK, and seeing it with a packed late night audience was glorious. There were ripples of uncomfortable laughter throughout, that naturally erupted whenever LilRel Howery showed up. I imagine seeing it alone on DVD would put no dampers on it's quality, but would dull the experience. It…
All the talk of how there's something inside Logan that's slowly killing him also reminded me of Dead Man, which was once described as cinema's longest death scene. I suppose that in a way, that's also applicable to Logan.
The lack of Hannibal in this discussion borders on the offensive.
Also, a completely undistracting non-comic relief performance from Stephen Merchant. Who knew?
I can imagine James Mangold starting work on Logan by putting a Johnny Cash song in the credits, then setting himself the challenge of building a comic book movie that had completely earned it by the time the credits rolled around. I was genuinely impressed with the movie, not so much for it's brutality but for it's…
Krisha really was unsettling, but not so much in a horror sense. It felt genuinely intrusive and uncomfortable to watch, and, (in large part due to the score and cinematography), it felt every inch as atmospheric as the Witch. This looks like an expansion of that movie's aesthetic, so I'm sold.
Wait a minute, I thought A+s on this site were reserved exclusively for that one episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. What is this madness!?
I'm quite happy that I'll probably be able to say the weekend in which Fifty Shades Darker was released was a good one for movies.
It's great! Easily the most accessible and immediately likable of Jarmusch's movies, but never in a bad way.
