    ★★★½

    Not sure what exactly possessed me to watch this movie last night, but I did mostly like it! It was very funny at times, especially Steve Martin’s and Bill Murray’s parts, and Audrey II is an icon lmao. I accidentally watched the director’s cut ending and it found it to be pretty sad and a bummer! Some of the songs slapped and I loved the studio-backlot vibe of the set and campiness throughout. Glad I watched this, not sure I’ll come back to it!

    this movie was fine! looovvveee me some Goldie Hawn and Charles Grodin! I usually also like Chevy Chase but it did feel like he was phoning it in on this movie. I loved how Goldie’s character  hired multiple convicts within her home and adopted ten different dogs and cats <3 I love Chaos in films so this movie was fun, just didn’t quite hit the spot for me!

    ★★★

    this film is interesting because it explores the need for physical touch, intimacy, and quite frankly, sex, in most human beings. Effie is deprived of it from her bastard of a husband, 🤢Ruskin🤢, to the point where she becomes ill and almost goes mad. I’ve been reading Fanny Moyes’ book Desperate Romantics recently, and this film had been on my radar for quite a while, so it was fun to finally see it and to see the Biggest Victorian Sex…

    I haven’t been on Letterboxd much since the year began because of a.) working at night and b.) I’ve been watching season 2 of The Mandalorian bc everyone at my work started yelling at me to watch it. I dearly love Mando and Baby Yoda (Grogu), for the record, but (SPOILERS) Luke’s appearance made me want to rewatch the original trilogy, which I hadn’t seen since I was a child and frankly vaguely remembered. 

    I remember watching A New Hope…
