Oddly enough, it’s not a new thing though (admittedly the films in that limited genre are all b to Z movies) but now that I hear your perspective, I can appreciate it more. I get the idea that you would enjoy it so much that you would almost want to live vicariously through it. 

Her Smell is the only thing I’ve seen by him. I thought the dialog worked mostly for the subject matter, but I could see it getting old pretty fast in another setting.

Now that you mention it, I think I saw your Letterboxd review. I can definitely understand how someone could hate it. In fact, it’s the kind of movie that I often hate, but it worked for me for some reason.

you’ve never heard of quentin tarantino or martin scorsese?

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood made $140 million in the U.S. alone! US made $175 million! The Irishman and Marriage Story are available to anyone with a Netflix account! Knives Out is on its way to $100 million! Little Women is based on one of the most well-known American novels ever published! You really haven’t heard…

So far I’ve gotten “DR__K Y_UR OVALT__E" What could it possibly mean?

I’m always amused by the notion that (a.) there are like, dozens of yet-to-be-released movies screening in the last two weeks of the year (instead of maybe two) and (b.) if lists waited until 12/31, everyone will have magically seen every possible movie by *that* arbitrary deadline instead of a slightly different…

“Just a crime film with strippers.” And yet crime films about men often make the lists of greatest films of the year, or of all time. Including this list! I normally am not the kind of person to say generalizing things like “men don’t get it,” but the amount of men I’ve seen saying this movie was just average makes me…

There are dozens of us who liked Ad Astra! Dozens!

It’s basically Goodfellas, but without nearly every main character being a sociopath.

You’re right, acknowledging the existence and limitations of ego in men is EXACTLY like xenophobia.

While I do think it is in its way a straightforward crime film, it’s also a story about a complicated friendship - I think it balances and entwines those narratives in interesting ways.

She’s got a whole team of Dementors on staff.

I had the same impression after reading She Said - they make it rather clear that Paltrow is still traumatized after working with Weinstein (which does not look at all surprising, given that when he showed up at her house after learning that she had been speaking to the journalists, she had to hide in her bathroom).…

I agree she has no need to do this, which makes it all the more infuriating. Why sell snake oil vaginal eggs when you’re already filthy rich?

I’m currently listening to Catch and Kill on audio and have Harvey Weinstein on the brain (gross, but better than having him on any physical part of my body). Apparently the toxic relationship he and Paltrow had—she’s never said he assaulted her, but that he was very controlling and bullying—is the main reason she…

Guys! ‘Number one’ means *yourself* - as in ‘looking out for number one’.

The vibrator is for herself. Although it won’t fill in that abyss.

The VO was Jemaine Clement, right?  If not it sounded a hell of a lot like him.

I was actually interested in it until I read that line...

I thought the movie made it clear that he wasn’t willing to entertain moving and his refusal to take that seriously became a larger question of his lack of respect blocking her ability to self-actualize (the scene where he finds out she was nominated for an Emmy is [chef’s kiss]). I didn’t think he was a clear-cut…
