Super fun. Saw it at the Imax. It's been a long time since I've had so much fun in a cinema. Simu Liu is such a thirst trap and Tony Leung is great (even in English), so emotive.

I felt obligated to watch it as a Sopranos fan. They ruined virtually every recognizable character. Adolescent Tony was especially underwhelming. Silvio was an even more cartoonish rendition of himself if you could imagine that. Tony's parents were watered down versions of themselves especially Lydia. And uncle Dickie was somewhere between a mobster and a bad fonz impression... The pinky swear scene was especially cringe lol
Add in a half baked racial justice angle where the Newark riots were happening and the black gangster character was cooler than any of the mobsters yet still ultimately uninteresting... They should've left the **** the **** alone that show was perfect |

Adaptation - Always been a huge fan of this but caught an insane amount of intricacies toward the whole meta that are just ****ing brilliant this time around. Pretty much the perfect screenplay and Francis Ford Coppola Jr.'s best role.

Fuego en Castilla (Tactilvisión del páramo del espanto) by José Val del Omar Pure eye candy, one of the trippiest things I've ever seen.

Spielberg I don't know. He just directed it, Benchley wrote the novel it was based on. I expect the Big S just assumed Benchley knew his stuff.
