Sound of Metal - incredibly moving. Now streaming on Amazon, strongly recommend. Riz Ahmed is fantastic.

Just thinking about that part in the school when they all have their hands on the piano still makes me cry. That whole middle part of the movie was my favorite.

I really appreciated some of the technical aspects; did the audio mix not sound like the movie was being projected in a big, cavernous movie house, or is there something up with my tv?
But the story itself...meh? It lacked tension in the same way many biopics do (especially the "how did x artist end up making y art? types of biopics where not only does the audience's understanding of history color the story, the filmmakers themselves seem over-beholden to how Great and Pivotal the Art will become), and I don't know what it added up to beyond a more specific understanding of one of the more famous (and previously dramatized) production stories in Hollywood history.

Genuinely feels like an endless pipeline of flavorless paste at this point.

They are also in the process of laying off something like 32,000 employees but cool new Star Wars.

People knock Ready Player One for a depiction of a monoculture in which a narrow, targeted subsection of pop culture dominates the entirety of our cultural conversation, yet it's literally happening under us.
Yessss, let the hate flow through you....

I interrupt the Disney whatever-fest to relay that Wolfwalkers is fantastic.

Liked, but did not love Mank. Enjoyed it for what it is, but it's one of those where I'm not sure I would full on recommend to almost anyone I know. That Reznor/Ross score tho shooo
@siremobunny think I'll hit Wolfwalkers tomorrow!

Mank did absolutely nothing for me. I didn't hate the score, but thought it too loud at times. All of the technical stuff was distracting and I couldn't have been paid to appear interested. I think I'm in the minority on this one, but I'm okay with it.

I think the audience interaction is definitely pretty mixed, I can't fault this take at all.

Wolfwalkers, however, is indisputably stunning, and I beg all of you to use your Apple tv+ free trial to give it a watch.
Hot take: Apocalypse Now rips
