  Rachel Sennott ❤️❤️❤️

  I didn't realize Bottoms wasn't streaming yet so we watched this instead. I saw a review before that described it as "claustrophobic Jewish humor" and I couldn't get that phrase out of my head the whole movie.

  Here is some mid-movie Sarah commentary highlights:
  - "What's a shiksa?"
  - "Is the weight thing a Jewish thing? Is that why your mom always calls me skinny"
  - "Seriously what is a shiksa?"

  Where were you when Jonah Hill single handedly ended antisemitism?

  First off, my utter adoration for Robert Pattinson is reaffirmed (not that it needed any reaffirmation), but that is where my positive commentary ends.

  This had me hooked at first with its campy tone and interesting, heady ideas (the many yous you are), but then it didn't follow through on anything, got strange and flat-feeling and lost me completely. It was still entertaining throughout so I'll give it three bags of popcorn.

  I also don't need any more Trump-ed up caricatures in the movies I watch - I get enough of that from the news.

  Also also the creepers were totally Ohmus

  The Brutalist 2024

  ★★★★ Watched 27 Jan 2025 1

  I knew beforehand that this movie would be in the "I would never enjoy this in any other setting besides a theater" category. I wish I had the setup/patience/attention to watch films like this at home but I know I do not -- so it was off to the theater for me.

  And I loved it! The score, the pacing, the acting, the DRIP, the subtle (and not subtle) holocaust imagery, the long takes, the lighting was all top tier.…
