It’s my favorite of his novels but not my favorite movie. The courtroom scenes drag it down, though I get that they’re necessary to give the title character someone to tell her story (instead of the reader).

Didn’t read the reasons why—I don’t do slideshows—but my immediate reaction was, “The fucking Shining, really?”

At least you’re seen. #forevergreyed

Also:

Reminded of a recorded conversation about Flight 93:

I loved that the pageboy or whomever he was mentioned Absolute Beginners, a hard movie to follow but I love the whole look and sound of it.  I should get around to reading the book sometime.

How did you get out? I’m been permagreyed since the Kinjacalypse.

I wondered about this about Aquaman.

And speaking of, where tf is Almost Famous?

Say Anything for “Lloyd, Lloyd, all null and void.”

A great, unappreciated ‘80s soundtrack is About Last Night.

Some Kind of Wonderful, you mean.

Still the only soundtrack I’ve ever owned of a movie I’ve never seen.

Well this hasn’t aged well.

Aw man, we’re missing the Death Blow!

I stopped at “video essay.”

Remains of the Day lunchbox.

Heard—who’s last appearance onscreen

Any relation to the movie?

You’re terrible, Muriel.
