Also? Kevin O’Leary is fuckin‘ terrible in the movie. He’s basically playing himself and therefore is NOT in on the joke, and so nothing he does in the movie lands properly.
MARTY SUPREME: this is a movie that expects us to believe that Timothée Chalamet has such unbelievable sexual charisma that Gwyneth Paltrow would let him go down on her in the middle of Central Park.
A sincere congratulations to the MARTY SUPREME marketing folks, who made the movie seem like a feel-good underdog story, and not the unpleasant, unappealing thing it actually is.
I should add that I liked both Sinners and OBAA, but I don't share the adoration for them that many of you have.
The other four titles I listed are garbage and you should all feel bad for liking them.
@rickconrad We saw his Christmas concert a couple of years ago, and about 5 of us in the audience did the “Did they just say what I think they said?” double-take head-tilt at the “cunning plan” line.
If you've ever thought "You know, there aren't enough Christmas songs with cheeky references to oral sex", then I've got a song for you.

As good as Jessie Buckley is in HAMNET (and both she and the movie are really good), it’s actually a moment from Paul Mescal late in the movie that haunts me the most. (I don’t want to say anything too spoilery, but if you’ve seen the movie you likely know the scene.)
Just like it’s now very easy to confirm the spelling of the characters’ names in a certain pro-shot Broadway show and whether every other movie from the director of a certain 4.5-hour two-volume movie had received Oscar nominations.
There’s a film/TV critic that I generally really like who made egregious, easily disprovable errors in two reviews published this week on a major website that, one might assume, would have fact checkers and copy editors.
It’s not the same thing as when Ebert 50 years ago in his review of NASHVILLE said that Barbara Jean was met at the airport by “a phalanx of girls from TIT - the Tennessee Institute of Twirling“. It’s now very easy to confirm that it was actually the Tennessee Twirling Institute.
