While everyone else was watching the Superbowl (go birds), my local theater was screening and adapted version of Buster Keaton's "Sherlock Jr" (1924), but the original score was removed and in its place was various R.E.M. songs.

The Substance 2024
One of those movies where the premise is super easy to pick up, it doesn't hide anything from you and you feel like you know where it's going... but it constantly surprises you. Lesser movies would have stopped , but this movie just kept going. Feminists, film buffs, horror fans - any different kinds of people can walk away from this movie appreciating something, if you can stomach it. It genuinely does everything super well.
