Oh, so that’s what Free Solo is about.
And here I was thinking it was Disney’s latest cash grab to detail what happened between Empire and Return.

Wasn’t as good as the Diner Lobster sketch from last year, which was totally genius.

Heh. Every time I open this thread, a video further up auto plays, and I hear “Dorks. They look like a couple of dorks.”

sorry, that’s my* fault-- didn’t realize that getyarn.io autoplays.
*that is, unless you wish to blame whoever programmed the embedding code.

Recently I’ve watched both Russian Doll as well as Umbrella Academy.
I liked them both, thank you very much (though Russian Doll left me in a bit of a state initially).

It’s touring right now. I got a request from the organization that I do first aid with to cover a shift next month in Ottawa. I’m seriously considering it (although I have to weigh the possibility of having to respond to an incident when I’m invested in what’s happening on stage).

I checked the website, and it doesn’t look like it will be near me any time soon. But I’ll keep my eyes open…

not planning on seeing the film in question.
but this review is interesting :
It’s hard to imagine getting anyone to come with you to see “Love,”Noé’s next film. There’s nothing scarring about it, but it does feature lots of actual penetrative sex, including one shot of an ejaculating penis filmed from the perspective of the woman’s vagina. This seems like a good time to mention that Noé filmed it in 3-D.

I watched them back and forth. Russian Doll worked like a palete cleanser for the heaviness of Umbrella Academy.

I watched Russian Doll in the middle of Umbrella and now I’m having troubles finishing Umbrella

Looks like I lucked out – I watched Umbrella first, then Russian Doll.
That they both had time-loopy, family angst stuff happening but from different angles was very satisfying.

I just finished watching The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind on Netflix, and loved it. It’s especially good to watch if you’re feeling down about the world – feel-good without being saccharine. It’s good to watch something where a teenager’s superpower is their intelligence.

I haven’t watched it yet, but the concept reminds me of a movie I saw in Black African Cinema 101 called The Little Girl Who Sold the Sun.

This is why Spielberg is having kittens and trying to redefine “movie”. Because the streaming economy isn’t constrained by artificial bounds like “theatre space” and can give voice to more than just the few white men who got breaks from all the other white men. Some of those risks fail, but those failures aren’t taking physical space away from the hidden masterpieces.
Essentially, filmmakers from outside the white cis-male mold are getting the same chance to fail and recover. But since that hasn’t previously existed for them, they’ve gotten very good at what they do, which is very threatening to traditionalists like Spielberg who are used to having the field for themselves.

Memories of the PBS after it went “off the air” at midnight and SCTV came on for a hour.

interesting discussion of the speilberg netflix fight was had on this
podcast.
Curiously, this fight was over Roma, which is mixed for Dolby Atmos-- a tech that still doesn’t have much penetration into the home.
