#WickedForGood does a lot right by its source material, and hits many soaring heights (the last shot of this kinda perfect??). Reeeeeeally wish I could take a pair of scissors to that first half though, my god. There is at least 30 min of this that does not need to be here (including the new songs)!

After watching IF I HAD LEGS ID KICK YOU, I gotta say, insane they’re placing this in Comedy/Musical, actually demented category placement, but congratulations on your Golden Globe, Rose Byrne!

Rewatched WICKED (2024) today in For Good preparation and I still cannot understand how Powell & Schwartz got into Original Score but Zimmer was ineligible for Dune 2 when the song melodies are woven into nearly every track. Like, I gotta continue to call bullshit on the Academy for that one.

Jesus Christ, do some critics have their knives out for Wicked For Good. Can’t speak to the quality since I don’t see it until Thursday but the harshness of some of these headlines, you’d think Jon Chu murdered their families.

I’ve now seen every Best Actor contender this year outside of Chalamet and despite what pundits are feeling now, it would be stupid if Joel Edgerton isn’t nominated for #TrainDreams.

Watched THE SECRET AGENT (2025) tonight. Wipe-transitions, split diopter shots, a great old-fashioned opening credits sequence. Movies should just be made like that all the time.

It is so funny to see sites like CBM take the “Wallace Shawn as Braniac” joke rumor seriously. Some of the worst journalism you’ll ever read on that site but I would also give my left nut to see Wallace Shawn in that role.

Watched the FIRE & WATER doc. Pretty much just a 70-minute bluray special feature compilation but man… I really love THE WAY OF WATER. That’s a fucking movie, a really special experience. Nervous for Fire & Ash if it can repeat the same feels and not fall into 3rd movie syndrome. Jim, we’re begging!
