Current personal project: looking at where the planets were during exciting and challenging times in my life. New information! Reflection!

Also, it's a new moon, what're you bringing in?
(And, I'm welcoming the Year of the Snake 🐍)

For your consideration: Gladiator 2 is just a notably worse version of The Northman. They're all, "vengeance for papa!"

A Complete Unknown (2024): watching people react to Bob Dylan for 2.5 hours and thinking about how a Woody Guthrie or Joan Baez biopic would probably be better
Or,
A very expensive album of cover songs they tried to make the money back on by creating a movie about nothing

6.5/10?

Just noticed that in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, one of grandpas is reading Sassy.

"Have a heart-to-heart with George to see if he’s okay. Also talk to Pete, Janie, and Tommy. And whoever at the Building & Loan lets Uncle Billy keep a pet squirrel."

Some Like it Hot (1959): Does anyone else pine for the days when Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis could slap on some lipstick and everyone was like, of course they're women because they say they are?

🥰

It's 1958, you're making a movie about amusing hijinks and fluid gender roles and you have an undercover cop character going by Mr. Mozzarella.

I'm watching Some Like It Hot, btw. I will say Toothpick Charlie is a great mob name, though.
