Bad word choice.

How about "gut-wrenching"?

Now that I've seen that part again, I can safely say that Jack was molesting Danny and feel stupid for being unsure of that feeling.

Lots of silent films lately. Mostly starring the hilarious Charlie Chaplin. But most recently Hitchcock`s pleasure garden. Odd film. Did enjoy

Sicario for maybe the 10th time.

Spoiler for Spoiler:
Benicio in this flick is just so off the charts. In the penultimate scene, when the drug lord mentions his wife, his slow burn reaction where he says "you forgot about my daughter" is so ****ing beyond intense it's ridiculous.

And then in the final scene, where he's ready to kill Blunt, but treats her with such tenderness to the point that she finally complies - ****. It simply doesn't get any better.

Have you seen Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy? Awesome flick and when I watched it recently it reminded me of Sicario in how it's a pretty much perfectly made straight narrative.

Spoiler for lalaland spoils:
I saw la la land. The ticket, popcorn, and two packs of pickled jalapenos I wound up spilling the vinegar of on a chair I moved two spaces away from all paid for with a gift card rewarded to me for making it half way through my treatment for ****ing tuberculosis. I loved the movie. I put too much salt on my popcorn. I liked how the film kinda subtly traveled time periods both through seasons and eras. So many themes, too- most prominent the relationship between artists as they depend on each other to achieve their dreams. And in a romantic way both the main characters dreams come true. Though with an ironic ending, one'so moreso than the other's rrelaying an underlying message that on ones road to success relationships that may seem invaluable sometimes break apart and in the future one might reflect upon those relationships and realize how much they miss those who made them who they are]

Arrival. Again. Movie keeps moving up in my list of favorties of all time.

Spoiler for Massive Spoiler Alert:
So the Heptapods give Lousie the ability to see the future based on her empathy with them. The most obvious aspect is, of course, that she knows she's going to hook up with Ian, and choose to have a daughter who will die as a young adult due to cancer, and that Ian will leave her because of the decision she made on behalf of both of them.

The other one that just sunk in is the whole General Shang bit. 18 months after the aliens leave, he goes to the unification gala specifically to meet Louise. He tells her about the phone call she made that changed his mind. She says, "I don't know your number". He then shows it to her and then whispers his wife's dying words in her ear, which she will repeat to him a year and a half earlier to de-escalate the world's tensions and ensure that planet earth will survive for 3,000 years and be able to help the Heptapods with their impending issues.

MIND ****ING BLOWN.
