An endlessly moving portrait of grief. It’s ridiculous that Portman lost the Oscar to Emma Stone, as great as she is.
Probably the biggest snub or whatever of the last decade.

It says ‘stay.’
In prep for daddy’s eventual 11th film, as well as a farewell to my beloved apartment in Manhattan, I came into this watch ready to cry. I did.
I’m not going to argue that this is Nolan’s tightest film, or even his best, but I will die on the hill that to date, it is the movie that best encompasses his skills as a storyteller. And it’s just great to see him make a movie as good…

One of the many dumb rules I give myself when it comes to my Letterboxd is that I have to watch a film twice before giving it all five stars.
Today I am breaking that rule, because Fail Safe is flat out one of the greatest pieces of storytelling I have ever beared witness to. Holy fucking shit.

I go to the building that bookends the movie a lot.
God I miss New York so much.

Lmaooooo. Comrade. Failures of capitalism. Stalin getting laser-eyed to death. “America First!” This was ridiculous.
On the one hand, I really appreciate these DC animation movies for bringing classic graphic novels to life in a different medium.
On the other, they take great stories and adapt them seemingly as cheaply as possible, which shows in the final product. Red Son is the latest example of that. It’s not as awful as Hush from last year, but it’s also not as…

At an appropriate time, I would very much be into another limited series adaptation, preferably on HBO. If it’s on Netflix I will commit arson.

This proved once and for all that adapting Watchmen was possible, and perhaps necessary, no matter what that grump Alan Moore says.
It also proved that the person tasked with adapting it needed to understand the story better than Snyder seems to here.
Maybe one day.
