Anora. The first half hour or so has a lot of party and club scenes and after a bit it feels like a tiktok feed. When it really dives into the story it gets good, with a lot of conflicting interests and very good performances. Overall my wife and I enjoyed it, and being rarely able to sit and watch a movie together lately that’s worth a lot.
I caught this in theater and it was really an experience. The sound was designed to rotate speakers around the audience in the third act to add to the disorienting effect of the lighthouse. I can’t say I love the movie overall, though I appreciate how ambitious it is, but it was the kind of theater experience that took me back to being a kid and watching the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park on the big screen. I haven’t had the heart to watch it since in case it doesn’t hold up on my humble home system.
Had an edible on a snowy Sunday and rewatched Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind with my family. It was a damned cozy afternoon.
My wife and I were having fun doing co-op on the Trine games. Coordinating your character switches to cross obstacles can be pretty fun. The Lego Star Wars games were also fun for us both to just mess around and cause chaos.
