This is the film. Still in a daze since I just got out, but this is the film. See it in VistaVision if you can. The Vista gave out format punchcards too. #OneBattleAfterAnother

Much is made of "The Old Man & The Gun" being Robert Redford's "final film."

But his cameo in “Avengers: Endgame” came after that.

Which means, technically, that #RobertRedford's actual final film also became the highest-grossing movie of all time.

Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life:

1. Babies
2. Cats
3. Dogs
4. People blowing past you way too fast in traffic who end up right next to you at the next red light.
5. A song being played on the radio you didn’t realize you needed to hear.

I cannot think of the last time a film had such unanimous praise as it arrives. People are calling this the film of the decade routinely. I know hype is contagious but this feels different.
