For what its worth, I love Paul Dano. I feel theres something about portions of his energy in There Will Be Blood where he seems to evoke a quiet simmering like Elisha Cook Jr. could. You arent exactly sure of the threat, but a very quiet menace lurks amid the emotions of embarrasment and insecurity

Belated snap of My Holiday Gifts to myself including a lovely new bluray from @criterion.bsky.social , a triple feature courtesy of Edgar G. Ulmer, and @kristenklopez.bsky.social 's book covering an oft negelectrd viewpoint of film. Excited to dig into it all this coming week!

Im not happy.

If the Disney/Fox merger has taught me anything, its that what will eventually follow includes limiting access to catalogue titles of the past & even outright discarding physical media circulation (unless a boutoque label pays to license). (1/2)

Jon M. Chu did it again, Wicked: For Good retained its own amazing identity while giving visual flourish that evokes the echos of an Oz from 86 years ago.

And as an extra notice: Colman Domingo did Bert Lahr proud as well. #WickedForGood

Quiet enjoyed it! Not a masterpiece, but a film that exceeds its confines into something impressive & confident. Coming to the film, one must be prepared for a terrifying tragic poem under the guise of horror mystery.

The very last moments alone had me nodding fervently with approval

Enjoyed Frankenstein & would recommend. Without getting too in-depth I'll say two things

1) del Toro crafted the film Laemmle Jr. wished he would have had the money to produce w/ content the code would have forbade.

2) Elordi carried Boris' and Lee's spirit w/out neglecting his own unique stamp.

Day 30 of BallyBOO consisted of an afternoon of pod pal Matt Willocks & I kicking back to some spooky flicks together!

Loved getting to introduce him to 1939's THE MAN THEY COULD NOT HANG & absolutely floored by our mutual first time watch of the 1962 shocker 'BURN, WITCH,BURN'
