  Listening to Kenny G 2021

  ★★ Watched 03 Dec 2021

  Was ready to have a new respect for Kenny G, but … didn’t really happen. I think it’s actually probably good that he gets no respect.

  The Brutalist 2024

  ★★★ Watched 28 Sep 2024

  Never really felt anything. It looks good. Great production design. Maybe that’s enough? 

  The sort of movie that is only impressive—never insightful, surprising, moving, (anything else I would expect from a movie this hyped), etc. 

  I felt no big feelings, had no big questions. 

  Very frustrating that this is being hailed as the next Great American Film when in reality it’s kind of shallow Oscar bait. More The King’s Speech than There Will be Blood. 

  Megalopolis was better.
