We opted for Song Sung Blue after I found out that it wasn’t a Neil Diamond biopic.
Despite the f’ing youbickwity of Sweet Caroline in today’s broken world (will it really be the theme tune to the apocalypse?) it was very enjoyable. Great performances, touching (me & you) and very funny at times.
So good, so good, so good.

Took my youngest to see the new Anaconda reboot today. It’s ridiculous, but we both enjoyed it.

Still yet to see his latest one but watched Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master and Licorice Pizza. Both good, both deal with memory and affection. The former very tense with Joaquin Pheonix acting his face off. Brilliant.
The latter however emerges on top between the two. Great performances from two inexperienced actors, all fun and light, but everything else around them is just brilliant. The music, styling, cinematography etc. adds up to a lovely take on a coming of age / love story told very well.

I thought Joaquin’s performance in The Master was incredible. Oscar worthy, really.

I got through about 15min of One Battle After Another. I’ve really enjoyed PTA in the past, but this one just missed me. I’ve never been sold on Leo (besides the departed where he was brillinat for me), so maybe that’s it? It seemed a bit crass and ludicrous - a bit like War Machine but not as funny.
Agree on Licorice Pizza, though my partner found it boring.

Yeah I tapped out of Liquorice Pizza pretty early, just didn’t connect with it.
I get what you mean with One Battle, it’s pretty ludicrous overall.

Rather than the yearly ritual of watching my team whimper out of the FA Cup (although I’d bought a ticket - but cup game tickets not transferable of course…) I had a lovely day out - art gallery, cinema, and Mowgli.
Hamnet was my partner’s choice and I hadn’t heard about it so had no preconceptions. Loved it. Superb acting throughout, and some really electric scenes. I definitely got caught up in the emotion of it on the big screen.

I enjoyed One Battle in the cinema but it didn’t linger in the memory like the best movies should.

Amazing film, although not a barrel of laughs. Incredible performances and loved the setting (didn’t feel like a period piece somehow). Took issue with some of the Hamnet / Hamlet transposition but there you go.

Maybe this should go in the ‘what don’t you get thread’ but why is OBAA considered a ‘comedy’ at the Globes, there were certainly some funny bits, but the first time we watched it that was the last thing we were thinking, saw much more the second time and was less visceral, but still.
Edit: think they did it with The Bear last year
Also, Sean Penn was robbed imho.
Also also, wtf.
Literally had no idea who that was, no idea.
