Tonight after Splitsville, someone came out of the theatre and said "was it just me or was that movie shit?" I hadn't had that much fun in a movie theatre in years. #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched

5 stars for Splitsville, 4 stars for Devil Wears Prada, 4.5 stars for Black Book, 5 stars for Nobody Knows.

I feel pretty basic giving One Battle 5 stars, but it was one of the best movie-going experiences I've ever had. Also Materialists has an incredible atonal, Lady From Shanghai, like quality to it. I can see why people hate it, but it's a fascinating movie. #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched

3.5 stars for Materialists, 3 stars for The Devil, Probably, 3.5 stars for Inherent Vice, 5 stars for One Battle After Another

I've skipped so many good movies because they had bad trailers.

Nickel Boys blew me away. Stunning movie. Overall, Dekalog was fine, with great episodes. Just not really my thing. The Hunger Games movies are mediocre adaptations of a great book series. It should be remade with a much stronger POV. #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched

5 stars for Nickel Boys, 4.5 stars for Dekalog 10, 4 stars for Dekalog 9, 3 stars for Mockingjay pt. 2.

It's been a few weeks since I remembered to do this. Got two episodes left of Dekalog. Enjoying it at times, excited to be done with it. Freakier Friday was sloppy but enjoyable. #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched

3 stars for Paprika, 4 stars for Dekalog 7, 4 stars for Dekalog 8, 3.5 stars for Freakier Friday.

apparently my mom is now coming to see the Outlaw tour with me. This will be weird.

Don Juan is my favourite Joni album and it's one of the hardest to recommend to people due to the original cover. Who care's that the new cover photo's not from the year the album came out? It's no longer racist!

Patrick Allaby @patrickallaby.bsky.social · Aug 20

Over on the Joni Mitchell subreddit someone said how much they liked Don Juan's Reckless Daughter and all the comments are about how she shouldn't have changed the cover.

Milk and Honey and Double Fantasy are great albums, but my favourite songs are the Yoko ones.

Weird the NS government hasn’t shut down Matchtown Market. Seems like a very obvious fire hazard.

I did not realize that appearance with the orchestra in Japan was ever officially released. Guess I'll have to track this release down.
