Yorgos is on an insane heater right now. KINDS OF KINDNESS has only grown more brilliant for me, and I loved this the most I've loved his films since THE FAVOURITE.

This excellent line by @hamrahrama.bsky.social about a film I didn't like encapsulates in part what I, a guy who perhaps masochistically got a PhD in English on this kind of dramatic literature, love about Yorgos in the last decade. KINDS OF KINDNESS is straight up theatre of the absurd.

If you're ever out on the Central Coast, there's honestly something strange and dreamy about it during this change in time. I miss it still.

The last time I spent any Harry Potter money was quite a long time ago when I went to the Universal LA Harry Potter theme park, and barring a massive change of heart on JKR's part (backed by putting money where mouth is), I won't give money to anything she's got her licensing dollars on.

I don’t understand why set pieces get this kind of hate, especially since they’re so often generated by good offense

Here’s my PTA rank now that I’ve seen all of his movies (PUNCH-DRUNK my one missing piece). 4-6 a logjam that could change at any time.
