Excellent protest method. Buy a ticket, and then complain about the cost you bought your ticket for. Very effective 👏🏼

Nickel Boys on Letterboxd boxd.it/CStQ
Need to keep reminding myself that awards are irrelevant and stupid, but I know when this film inevitably gets no recognition I'm going to be mad about it

My ★★★★ review of True Romance on Letterboxd boxd.it/8kPxi9
Every time I see James Gandolfini pop up in something it makes me very happy (and a bit sad).
Brad Pitt blazing up also a highlight.

Really enjoyed All we Imagine as Light last night at the BFI.
I loved seeing Mumbai away from the main tourist sites (which is where I've been). Three leads were great, soundtrack was excellent.
Going to watch Kneecap today, change of vibe.

Went to see Moonstruck at Prince Charles in Soho this eve. Had no idea what it was about but went with a friend. Loved it, a rare 4.5 stars for me on letterboxd. Why didn't Cher do more films? Great comic actor. And Frasier's dad 🤯
