    Kind of amazing to see what the Martin Scorsese version of a paycheck gig looks like.

    Catch Me If You Can

    ★★★★½

    Pretty easily Spielberg’s best movie of the 21st century, I think.

    @ Los Feliz 3. 35mm.

    Screenwriting 101: Show, don't tell.

    James Gunn: What about show AND tell (and tell and tell and tell and tell and tell and tell and tell and tell)?

    Beau Is Afraid

    ★★

    A visually stunning 3-hour odyssey that feels like it was written by an 18-year-old film bro who is just so, so desperate to be seen as edgy. It’s like Ari Aster had the thought, “What if I made the most irritating movie ever?” and then just plunged straight forward into the abyss without a moment’s hesitation.

    In a way, I almost respect it. Almost.

    Giving it an extra half star because I got to watch it in the same theater as all three members of Boygenius. At least there was that.
