Thanks. I’m disappointed you didn’t like it, but I’m sure you’re not alone.

I’m still haunted by it, two months after seeing it, but I’m also not sure who I can recommend to see it.

Jealous!

I feel sorry for anyone who saw it at a film festival on the same day as several other movies.

It worked for me on a late Friday afternoon.

It’s very slow and has little dialogue. That makes it a tough watch for many. And the situation and a lot of the sparse dialogue is very British/Irish specific, including acronyms.

That’s my jam, or at least one of several.

It’s hard to ignore the loud negative voices that compose a small part of the readership.

I’m not from Boston, but I’m a little old white lady who appreciates your writing, perspective, and humor. And you’ve opened me up to many movies.

Husband and I just saw ANEMONE. I’m glad I’m not a critic who has to review it. Glad I saw it but not sure who I’d recommend it to. 📽️ #FilmSky

Yup, it was a clerical error, shit happens, and it's extremely likely this gets tossed at the first opportunity in yet another embarrassment for the DOJ.

But imagine if this was you what a federal indictment could do to your life just by existing and you don't have the profile of someone like James

Courtney Milan @courtneymilan.com · 1d

As far as I can tell, the case with Letitia James is one where she told them a specific thing and the mortgage lender checked a different box and it didn't get caught.

This is the kind of shit that could happen to literally anyone, and I have two thoughts.

More importantly, how did the Boston Globe and its readers luck out to the extent that you're the film critic?

Watching this week's #RHOC. Lisa is apologizing here, but months later she appeared on #WWHL (last week?) and continued to crow about the insults she laid on Bronwyn.

@altarcallmafs.bsky.social Bread plate etiquette (not just in France): put some butter from butter plate onto you bread plate. Tear off piece of your bread. Butter it from your bread plate. Repeat.

Do NOT put butter on bread directly from butter plate. Do NOT make a “sandwich.” #LoveIsBlindFrance

'Love Is Blind' creator Chris Coelen reveals that the show pays for all the engagement rings, and cast members keep them. That's why there's so much drama surrounding who gets to keep the rings after breakups.

Well…a close family member was in the collectible sneakers business. It’s legit and low $$ per transaction.

Luxury watches are huge dollar amounts. Tens to hundreds of thousands per piece.

As you said, maybe he just a trust-fund kid with a hobby job.

He’s a “luxury watch dealer.”

I’m sorry, but doesn’t that sound like he’s part of a money-laundering chain?

He’s only 27!

Oh, it made me crazy trying to find it! I thought it was odd when JustWatch said the Michael Keaton film had been added to Criterion Channel. (I sent JW a correction note.)

Note that the film's title is one word "Nightshift"--not one of the two other films named with a space that came out that same year.

The documentary PREDATORS is opening in many theaters this weekend. I hope you'll make an effort to see it. It will give you lots to chew on, no matter what you've though about the TV show "To Catch a Predator" and its offspring.
