Why, would I ever!

I thought it was a step backwards from The Grand Budapest. We're still in familiar Wes Anderson territory, an aging mid century institution rendered with maximum kitsch, nostalgia for something already in decline, etc. The second half was a lot more enjoyable than the first and the way it wrapped everything up with the frame of the newspaper was nice, but the anthology format didn't do him any favors--not enough screen time with any of the characters for the quirky story lines to become much more than that. I found the first story pretty dull and the third was only kept alive by the double frame. Enjoyable to look at as always but I'd rank this outside the top tier, down by Moonrise Kingdom.

West Side Story.

I was able to watch maybe an hour. It felt old. I thought Spielberg was going to be more playful. The lead actor was a miscast.
Really boring.

Watched Nocturnal Animals on Friday evening, I really did not care for in Gyllenhaal's performance. I have added the original novel to my read list though.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

The guy playing Riff is so fucking spot on I can't even stand it. It's one of the most perfect and authentic castings I've ever seen.

House of Gucci wasn't quite the train wreck I was expecting, but still not good. I found it a somewhat enjoyable comedic romp.

Jared Leto was as advertised and should rightfully be mocked for his performance. And the only award Lady Gaga should get for this is an award for trying too hard.

I have tried to watch it again and have this far been unable to bring myself to do it. Not because I don't like (I loved it) but because it fucks me up and I'm scared of that feeling

I thought Nocturnal Animals was excellent but I have little desire to rewatch it. Very dark film

I thought Leto was excellent in a Nicholas Cage sort of way. He was the most captivating presence on screen by far. I think the problem with this movie, and with Leto's performance in it, is that it's actually two movies: one is a campy, Wolf of Wall Street story about global wealth and finance, and the other is a more personal rise and fall narrative. Jared Leto is in the former, Adam Driver is in the latter.
