We are all a bit like Nolan’s tarnished Odysseus aren’t we? Weary from 10+ years of battles. Guilty for how we may have won those battles. Hypocritical for spouting ideals we don’t follow. Impatient with friends who continue to act on those ideals. Failing to save our own Eurylocus. Embraced by our loved ones even knowing we should be reviled. I’m not always a fan of Nolan’s work but he killed it with this one! Glad I waited to watch it in 70mm. I’ll probably watch it in other formats while it’s in theatres.

Today on Netflix, the horror film The Last House releases, starring Wagner Moura and Greta Lee, about a family trapped inside their own home. To mark the occasion, the streaming service put up a very provocative billboard over Sunset Boulevard in LA, let's just say, mimicking the film's plot.

The Drama was good. A tense commentary on how the outside reacts to mental illness framed by a really difficult topic to traverse. Pattinson is becoming one of my favorite modern actors ngl.

Just finished She Came to Me, an offbeat romantic dramedy, that left me feeling incredibly warm inside. The story might look messy at first, but it’s fascinating to watch it extricate itself from the chaos. Or rather, to watch the characters try to extricate themselves from the charmingly tangled situations they’ve created. Yeah, it’s probably not for everyone, but for me it was kind, wonderfully strange, and just the right amount of crazy 💙

My tip: don't "midcurve" your viewing of The Odyssey (or any film really) Nolan describes what midcurving (my term) movies is in this (very interesting) interview with Zhong Shu: https://youtu.be/wa4I8Ch2TRo?is=HJ8OA7MJTh_C0j2r Paraphrasing, it's when, as an "amateur film critic", you think that "being aware that a filmmaker is using a sympathetic mechanism invalidates that mechanism". This is a mistake bc film has its own lingua franca that it uses to communicate, and some of that are story telling tropes etc. The left curve ("just enjoy the experience") and the right curve ("just enjoy the experience, everyone uses mechanisms") both say to avoid trying to pick the thing apart from above rather than be with it at eye level. (As an example: Emily Wilson makes this mistake in a particularly vicious way)

Meanwhile on Threads…Wicker is trending. “Wicker? Like baskets 🧺 and Golden Girls furniture”? Oh no. This is something quite different. I actually thought at first it was a fake ai movie trailer but apparently it is quite real.

One of two interviews where I’ve really seen the host not see themselves beneath Nolan Truly remarkable and challenging line of questions that really put him in a position to defend his choices (without spoilers) Might be my favorite interview of his https://youtu.be/wa4I8Ch2TRo?is=F85zRrQZr2Fxy1UX
