Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. 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.

Uncut Gems.

Can't wait. Don't want to know anything other than what I saw in the first trailer, have been avoiding reviews. But I'm so excited for this. No idea if it will make it my area, though.

Its such a wild ride. Cinema at its best.

Im still thinking about how much of a triumph Uncut Gems is....Eric Bogosian is so fucking good here guys. Julia Fox is a really welcome addition too....but damn, Adam Sandler. He deserves every award.

Felt good to have some time off and watch a few films:

John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum One thing I adore about the sequels is the ease to suspend my disbelief and just enjoy the ride. The locales were far more sprawling than Chapter 2 but the juxtaposition with the fight scenes, even as they grew larger, worked really well.

Star Wars: The Last Jedi Second viewing. This was an example of being in the right mindset to approach a piece of art, I detested this film the first go ‘round but found myself really enjoying just about every bit of it this time. Some of the acting still felt disjointed though and I simply don’t like Adam Driver in anything.

The Irishman I certainly didn’t hate it but I did not love it, Scorsese has been hit or miss with me for decades though. That said the performances really carried a film where very little happens, DeNiro and Pacino were admirable endeavors but I felt Pesci was the star at the top. Paquin playing Peggy was an interesting choice, I was almost aching for something to happen but perhaps the fact that nothing did is the real genius move. The running time never entered my mind.

[VinylGuy]

I really need to see John Wick 3.

Im surprised on people thinking nothing really happens in The Irishman...

[VinylGuy]

Parasite.

Wonderful. Masterfully crafted, the production design is glorious. Its a very cool companion with Knives Out and Ready Or Not.

Masterpiece.

[VinylGuy]

Oh and with Us.

What an amazing run for 2019 with these:

Parasite - Knives Out - Us - Ready Or Not.


Great fucking night you got there.

Lucy In The Sky.

The movie looks beautiful and its very well made, but damn its so boring and unfocused. Portman is all over the place. She lost it.

Had my first Alamo Drafthouse experience. The theater was fine, but I don't think I'll be dining there again; I felt like I had to, because my sister wanted me to experience the novelty of having dinner at a movie theater, but I found it so distracting! And it was so dark! Next time I'll just watch the movie and maybe have a beer.

The movie was Bombshell, which was little more than a fairly impressive display of makeup and costume design.

Yeah Uncut Gems was pretty great. What an obnoxious character!
