I am forever thankful for a dark (family!) comedy centered around so many women who are delightfully unhinged in their own unique ways, and that I could see it on 35mm at the @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social.

You guys, this film is SO MUCH FUN. I think I’ve seen it five times now, and it delights every single time.

Also, it’s Wisconsin AF.

I don’t usually talk about meeting talent but I spoke to Jafar Panahi today before the screening of IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT at the @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social (my 5th time seeing it) and I was in awe.

I also interviewed Panahi a few days ago for @letterboxd.social (stay tuned!!)

I love living in a city: started today with bowling at 12pm, watched the afternoon football games at a local sports bar, then went to see Jay Kelly @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social and topped off my night seeing Cut Copy at the Ramova Theater. And home before 11pm.

Chicago is the best

Just back from checking out “Jay Kelly” (in 35mm @musicboxtheatre.bsky.social). What a cast! George Clooney was a perfect choice - he exudes Old Hollywood movie star. (And I got to fan girl over Billy Crudup - with that hair!)
