I did indeed. A perfect meeting of director and subject. It's densely packed and there are so many ideas to engage with. And hearing Orwell's prose is a treat (even as the parallels to current events are deeply unsettling).

Didn't much care for this at TIFF so I’m a bit surprised to see it has an 84% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

ROOFMAN – Channing Tatum and Kirsten Dunst are good together in this stranger than fiction story. But there’s little impact as the movie smooths over its inherent complications – e.g., the systems that'd make this military man turn to a life of crime – in favor of feel-good storytelling. #TIFF50 📽️

Can’t top perfection. I really should see Sinister.

Unflattering pic of me after completing today’s Run for the Cure 5k in Toronto. It shouldn’t be this hot in October! #CIBCRunForTheCure 🏃‍♂️

The 4K UHD presentation of UGETSU is flawless. Even better than the 4K restoration I saw on the big screen in 2017. 📽️

I really wish this would continue playing in 70MM IMAX at my local cinema for the rest of the year. It’s frustrating to think it might disappear in a couple weeks when TRON: ARES is released.

Round II. This time in 70MM IMAX. 📽️

Oh no, I’m sorry that was unclear. Zero sarcasm. I loved it.

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER - Coulda been called CHASE INFINITI. Now it makes sense why this skipped the Fall festival circuit. PTA was being generous. Dropping this alongside the other festival premieres would've been unfair. He knew it would outclass the competition. Round II in 70MM IMAX shortly. 📽️
