    “I got us Tab for our diet” was a meta joke, right? 

    At the Frida with Odorama presented by Cinematic Void.

    This was 100% funnier on my second viewing. 

    I still think this is a really weird (not in a bad way) Best Picture winner.

    This would never happen to me because I simply like going to bed too much.

    ★★

    With Lin-Manuel Miranda and especially Barry Jenkins, I was really hopeful for this movie despite my feelings on the 2019 iteration. Unfortunately this felt as craven as I’d feared. I can see why Jenkins would be attracted to the story, but I can also see exactly where his hands were tied. The more interesting story here is clearly Scar’s breaking bad journey, but that gets sidelined for platitudes about courage and shockingly unfunny interruptions from the warthog and meerkat.
