    Carry-On

    ★★½

    - LAPD is dying for recruits, the idea that the protagonist or his dad applied and didn’t get in is hilarious. 
    - there’s absolutely no traffic going into LAX on Christmas Eve 😂 multiple shots of cops and feds speeding up to the terminal
    - hilarious lack of resolution for multiple characters in the film. I guess hard to fit a funeral for Hank from Breakjng Bad into the Christmas jingle montage at the end.

    Anora

    ★★★★½

    Quietest theater during a credit roll I’ve ever been in. 

    Incredibly energetic thrill ride deeply connected to its characters. Baker’s writing feels like he’s just unleashing real people inside these insane circumstances. Incredible performances all around. Sex work is work! 

    A little frustrated that Anora magically lost all of her negotiation skills at one point, but still enjoyed the he’ll out of it.

    ★★★

    Hollywood can’t imagine a better future if it isn’t brought to us by benevolent billionaires. Genuinely glad this film exists because of its aesthetic and uniqueness but it doesn’t inspire people to build a world themselves. I guess we’ll just all wait until the right billionaire comes along. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
