I, Tonya

possible unknown fact:

I fucking love figure skating

that being said how could i not be excited about a film about the first woman to land a triple Axel in combination with a double toe loop!!!!! (the beginning of the end credits shows the actual footage of this)

then to add fuel to the fire the first review i see is "This is the Goodfellas of ice skating"

all this being said......This film is soooooo good

look you'd have to be pretty out of touch to not know Tonya Harding and "the incident"...that alone already makes a good film....but this really gets into the abuse she endured for basically her entire life

her mother physically and mentally abused her
her husband abused her
the skating federation abused her (basically said she was white trash and was not a good fit for a figure skater....even though raw talent was there)
the press abused the shit out of her

and then there was "the incident"

this is very well written, well acted and just well done

movie of the year? No

still a great film about a very interesting piece of history

seeing Darkest Hour later today

Major kudos to Margot Robbie. Harding was damaged goods from the get go and was also surrounded by trash her entire life. I feel bad for her. This movie brings it home.

Like you said: Insanity.

How the **** does a movie like this get made?

Side note: The "son" is not faking playing the classical guitar during that scene. Hristos Passalis is a serious player.

I'm excited that the reviews for I, Tonya are coming in so positive because I love Sebastian Stan despite having the absolute worst filmography I've ever watched the entirety of. Can't wait until it comes to a theatre round here.

Chula Vista

Margot Robbie is funny as ****.

I'm DYING to see I, Tonya. When I was a kid I'd sometimes have my barbies reenact the Nancy Kerrigan attack (though in my version Posh spice and the headless Ken doll were also involved)

Just got done with watching Nocturnal Animals. That movie is one of those gut-punch movies that make me feel all depressed when the credits finally roll.



Michael Shannon was great in this movie, and so was Jake Gyllenhaal and Amy Adams. All three are among my absolute favorite contemporary actors.

All the other actors were good, The soundtrack was great, great set design, costume design, lighting, fantastic cinematography all the way around...
I have to check out more movies from this Tom Ford guy. I'm not sure I've seen any other movie of his, despite his name seeming so familiar to me.

Side note: Chula wanted me to watch Take Shelter, also with Shannon. It's on my shelf and I'll get to it soon enough.
