Same, to some degree. But my kid really seems to enjoy seeing movies on the big screen. I think this is the first time we saw a movie on the big screen that was *my* choice in like 15 years or so.

It's nice to have a kid who is of the age where she appreciates at least some of the entertainment that I like. No more animated films that I would fall asleep in the theater despite trying my best not to and thank goodness she never liked comic book based movies or Star Wars shit (sorry NKOTB, I hope I don't lose bestie status for saying that.)

Loved the Holdovers. I laughed, I cried. Everyone go see it.

I also loved this film.

How much beer and food did you smuggle in Space?

Wouldn't that be against the rules?

Well this year's Xmas morning movie selection was …Poor Things.

It seems like this movie could have easily been rated NC-17. But it wasn't, so in we went.

Emma Stone for the win. An unsettling yet ultimately satisfying experience.

My kid commented that she wasn't overwhelmed by the proceedings, but she didn't get the point of the movie.

I posited that I thought the point of the movie was that men shouldn't try to control women.

Her reply was "But who doesn't already believe that?"

Oh what a bubble she lives in.

Maybe we should have seen the wrasslin movie or the boat movie instead.

boat movie was ok, but ferrari was real good.

I liked Killers of the Flower Moon more than Barbie, but less than Poor Things and the Holdovers.

So the Oscar for best musician acting in Killers of the Flower Moon goes to whom?

Jason Isbell
Pete Yorn
Sturgill Simpson
Terry Allen
Jack White
Charlie Musselwhite

I’m watching the Netflix documentary about the making of We are the World that just came out.

On the car ride home, I was telling my daughter about it. There was one part where Paul Simon looked up to Kenny Loggins and said “If they dropped a bomb on this place, John Denver would be right back on top,” I told this story to my daughter and she said, “The only name I recognize in that story is Obama. Is this song famous or something?”

Then there was another story where Ray Charles needed to use the bathroom and Stevie Wonder showed him where it was and someone said “”It was the blind leading the blind.” And my daughter asked “Wait, Stevie Wonder is blind?"

I don't get the Obama reference?

Imagine if you can remember, my soft, mumbly voice, telling a story quickly. And my teenager, worn out from a long day at school only half listening. And then imagine hearing me mumble "a bomb on."

I think she heard it as "If they dropped Obama, John Denver would be right back on top."

She completely had no clue what this song was. I mentioned that they made it in 1984 (I was wrong, it was March 1985), and she asked "Wasn't that a book?"

And I haven't even had a drink since Friday.

Zone of Interest was immaculately well down, and moving to the point of making me feel physically ill. I hope I never see it again.

Great recommendation. Love movies that make me physically sick.

The video is shown occasionally on Vevo 80s and I'm astounded at how many of them are still alive.

No No No.

Oppenheimer is now on Peacock. Should I, invest that much time?

I would really look for an opportunity to see it on a big screen with a movie theatre soundsystem but it’s definitely worth watching either way.
