Watched Flight Risk last night. It wasn't great, but it filled in an evenings viewing

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.

Just voluntarily watched Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy with no hope or expectation of getting laid immediately afterward in case you’re wondering how married I am. I didn’t hate it at all.

The Brutalist is appropriately serious considering it's subject matter; Jews finding a place in America after narrowly surviving the Holocaust in Budapest, struggling to hold on to their values and principles under the weight of their traumas, old and new, and the role America plays in their support and lack thereof. It says a lot and says it very well. And the performances are superb. I think this movie will one day be considered one of the truly great American epics, but the Corbet name doesn't yet have the clout of a Spielberg. Get in on this one early, folks.
