No mention of slo-mo vaginal power, D-, see me after class.

Yeah, but even if it's uninspired visually, it's guaranteed to make a metric shitton of money, and Kodak and the like will see that something this humongous was shot on 65mm and decide to manufacture more.

Brady Corbet's 65mm pop-star movie with Rooney Mara is going to be lit, though.

I honestly think TV might be a better outlet for Russell's digressiveness than movies are, so color me cautiously optimistic.

I liked American Hustle too, and I thought Joy resembled the Eraserhead baby spawn of Hustle. There's a solid twenty minutes in the middle that's great, and the rest is just bizarre, terrible, and shouty.

I watched Soderbergh's King of the Hill (still terrific), Kelly Reichardt's Night Moves (really tense), and The Runaways (not great, with great performances by Dakota Fanning and especially Kristen Stewart, as well as some of the most deranged work of Michael Shannon's career).

DOCTOR STRANGE is buying three massive bottles of Mountain Dew.

STRANGE: Can I drink them here?

CASHIER (off-screen): Well, it's unorthodox, but-

STRANGE immediately begins to uncap the bottles and guzzle them down. Because of the hands thing, getting the caps off and even holding the bottles is

I sincerely really hope Disney (or other massive studios) keep hiring weirdo European actors for their movies, because the press Tilda and Mads have done in the lead-up to this (and Rogue One) has been absolutely incredible.
