    That was also a power move on her part considering The Cure was her ex’s favorite band.

    Rodrigo has a lot of older fans from what I’ve seen. Especially compared to some of her contemporaries. She’s always had a sort of mature bent to her music.

    What I love about Scott doing music now is that it started because she and her friend made the soundtrack to Smile 2 (which I loved) and fans wanted her to actually try to make music. I love that...

    What I love about Scott doing music now is that it started because she and her friend made the soundtrack to Smile 2 (which I loved) and fans wanted her to actually try to make music.

    I love that she went into an R&B direction instead of doing an extension of Smile 2.

    I use Korean sunscreen because it’s supposedly better due to additional ingredients. I’d be lying if I said I looked into it anymore than that, but I do spend a decent bit of money on that and other skin care products. I do feel like I burn less with it, although I tan so easily unfortunately.

    Ruimy released a mid-year critic poll

    And it made me go: “shit this is a really bad year.”

    The only film’s I’ve enjoyed above a “yeah that was good” have been The Drama and Send Help. Everything else has just fallen flat for me. Save me, Christopher Nolan, if you can hear me, save me.

    2022 was similar where the first half of the year (the first 9 months really) were extraordinarily weak but the last three months gave us a lot of good stuff like TAR, The Banshees of Inisherin, Amsterdam, Babylon, The Menu, The Fabelmans, Avatar: The Way of Water, Glass Onion, Aftersun, and also stuff like Terrifier 2 and The Wonder.

    So here’s hoping Tom Ford can deliver with Cry To Heaven.

    Disclosure Day

    I was rooting for David Koepp’s recent career renaissance. It started with his spiritual trilogy with Soderbergh. Starting with Kimi in 2022, and then going into 2025 with Presence and Black Bag. Then he wrote the script for Jurassic World: Rebirth, returning to the franchise after writing the first two Jurassic Parks. I enjoyed Rebirth a lot, more than everyone it seems. I think it was a simple and effective script for a fun summer blockbuster.

    This is the opposite of Rebirth. Instead of being simple, Koepp is trying to be deep and philosophical and is writing something important. The movie tackles themes of, the media, the deep state, religion/faith, and trauma. Without really developing any of them well.

    It’s nonsensical. Like, actually, none of it makes any sense. There’s no cohesion. It’s so long. And it suddenly ends. It felt like an M Night Shyamalan film.

    But the set pieces are good. Spielberg does some incredible work, there’s an insane oner here. And that kept me entertained. And that stuff is strong enough for me not to penalize the film too much for everything else. Also Wyatt Russell is the only one that gives a performance like an actual person as opposed to a character in a movie.

    I didn’t care for the two singles she released. But I enjoyed the album as a whole, more than I thought I would from what was released

    I met someone once that told their therapist that they were doing heroin and that was the response they got.

    Another one was a woman telling her therapist she was having unprotected sex with a lot of men and they also got that response, along with a “I know you were miserable before and this seems like it’s making you happier.”

    I live in a smaller city but it’s the biggest city in the state. Theres a little bit of an art scene here, with me it’s movies so there’s a little bit of that here. But, that kind of gets depressing because of how many times I’ve talked to people who are just shit out of luck and at the end of their ropes.

    And to OP’s point, I think a lot of the alternative art crowd would be the first ones to tell you to go to therapy and be hyper critical if you step away from a certain dogma.
