I give it at least a few more years.

Not really my thing, but glad it exists and got tons of buzz, hopefully it'll help Hollywood move past the superhero gangbang era...

Awkwafina is an undeniable star though. Between this, Oceans 8, and SNL, she's owned every frame i've seen her in.

Ehh, I think I’d probably deny that

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.

Westerns dominated for like 40 years.

My ranking of the Ingmar Bergman's Cinema box set so far:

Masterpiece:
-Wild Strawberries (Rewatch; I used to HATE this movie. How wrong I was. Truly a work of art I was not prepared to understand when I saw it in high school.)

Great:
-Summer with Monika (Rewatch; I've heard Godard called this "The Birth of a Nation for modern cinema," and I think there's something to that. It feels incredibly vital and contemporary in terms of style, and it's hard to reconcile that it came out in 1953 considering what American cinema looked like at the time.)
-To Joy

Good:
-The Seventh Seal (Rewatch; I'm not crazy about Criterion's new 4K restoration for this one. Kinda wish I hadn't preemptively sold my old Blu-ray.)
-Port of Call

Okay:
-Smiles of a Summer Night (Rewatch; I used to LOVE this movie. Didn't hold up super well this time.)
-Summer Interlude
-A Ship to India
-Dreams

Mediocre:
-Crisis
-A Lesson in Love
-Waiting Women
-Thirst

Bad:
-Sawdust and Tinsel (Good lord this was unpleasant.)

I've been ignoring Criterion's "festival order" and watching them chronologically. Very interesting to watch his progression as an artist. So many of his early works are bogged down in the trappings of melodrama and his preoccupation with relationships and infidelity; the existential themes he became known for are undercurrents at best. Summer with Monika and To Joy stand out as young masterworks, but it's not until he began to confront E X I S T E N C E and P H I L O S O P H Y head on with the 1-2 punch of The Seventh Seal and Wild Strawberries in 1957 that he truly became B E R G M A N as we know him.
