Faces of November: 12 minutes of silent shots of JFK's funeral, focusing on the distraught faces of everyone there. Which leads into…

Lights Camera Jackson gave Jackie the same grade he gave Collateral Beauty; a B. He rated both higher than Manchester by the Sea (B-), Arrival (C+), and Nocturnal Animals and Loving (C). This fuckin' kid, man.

I've always been on your level, I'm just slightly okay at hiding that fact.

Who, me? As for me, I feel all the feels!

Kate Winslet's post-Oscar taste in projects hasn't been great, Michael Pena is still not a huge actor, Keira Knightley isn't doing much of anything, and Helen Mirren has been down this road before.
