they ended telework at my job which is mostly a bummer but there are some silver linings - namely getting twice as much @heynowdana.com each week with my morning commutes

if you were, like me, deeply affected by the unfortunate relevance of I’m Still Here (2024)’s portrayal of survival and resistance under a fascist regime

let me recommend Argentina, 1985 (2022) as another recent film about how citizens can overcome & seek justice for fascist crimes against humanity

i found A Complete Unknown to be a little aimless. what’s the takeaway? is this film
saying anything? other than “Bob was kind of a difficult guy”

didn’t dislike it - had a good time spending vintage hangs Dylan, Cash, Baez, and co.

i think that’s the appeal right there

actually find myself in the minority that liked Emilia Perez 💀

despite any and all missteps/insensitivities, i was moved by the story about transformative social change starting with individual trans acceptance

I’m Still Here felt like an exceptionally scary movie to watch right now - as fascism encroaches on freedoms around the world

questions linger:
- when do you know it’s time to leave?
- when do you know it’s time to stay and fight back?
- what’s left in the wake of unexplained loss?

The Los Angeles Times on ‘Dune: Part Two’ for best picture:

“It should win because Villeneuve has packed every frame with care, craft and sticky questions about humanity’s thirst to put its faith in false messiahs”

if you’d like my thoughts on the Brutalist you can watch this video bc @mancarryingthing.bsky.social took the words from my mouth & thoughts from my mind on all things epic scale, AI, movie’s thesis, and awesome wives who support us new dads taking long trips to the cinema
