sound of music...also for divorced old guys. i shan't elaborate

me experiencing vertigo as i climb past the puppeteers towards an outside i have never seen

we need a pope who is just a little bit more ryan murphy with it

we used to have kino popes (francis hyping babette's feast, john xxiii saying a man for all seasons was bad because it was unfunny)

leo's breaking the tradition of popes who like movies about hags. bad sign

it does come out ahead of pan's labyrinth on one point, it does not (contrary to some negative reviews of it) imply that some victims of fascism are perfect special little princes(ses) and others are just background victims/set dressing. pan's labyrinth definitely does

i feel about the same about it as i do about pan's labyrinth, the director clearly has a lot of bad instincts but the constraints of honestly appraising fascism and at least the outward logic of believing in god corral them at almost all times

an important piece of context about the movie for those who haven't seen it is that there is a constantly building crescendo of mind-boggling nazi cruelty happening in the background at all times culminating in huge heaps of corpses

ohhh it was josh o'connor in The Mastermind, directed by Kelly Reichardt, and of course the older film was alice rohrwacher's the chimera, which i thought was the greatest thing of all time

new movie is set in vermont or new hampshire or something. the older movie is probably not paul mescal and aftersun

i love harry potter

Also certainly gay, not denying that

There’s a lot in The Time of the Magicians, also his statements on Russell, various friends attesting to his belief in God and lifestyle

probably an extreme pascalian, yes, but i haven't found any convincing evidence that he stopped believing any of it at any point
