  Pride & Prejudice 2005

  ★★★★★ Rewatched 11 Sep 2024

  My small rectory abuts her estate ☝️🎩
  
  Ok but imagine the sheer desperation that women would have had at this time. Even well off women like the Bennets. Like The Bachelor but the stakes are your entire life. Blindly trying to secure the smallest chance of happiness and comfort, and making that decision based off a few moments with a man. How could you even enjoy a ball knowing if you don’t catch the eye of an amiable gentleman that…

  Challengers 2024

  On editing ~ one too many time jumps imo. The people get confused. But some very very creative stuff I think. 

  The final battle culminates in a hug ?

  Barbie 2023

  Is this the god Father?

  Was a good time. Good for cinema probably. I went to the theater twice with people I've never watched a movie with before. A miracle really.

  But not going to lie it irked me. The buzzwords were flying. Yeah I technically agreeee with you Greta but don’t make me listen to a monologue brought to you by the Dove Real Beauty campaign circa 2004. Let’s get a little artful with it. Less talking, more feeling.…
