Wonka and Golden Globes

[mellicious]

When I was talking the other day about the movies Rob liked, one of them was Beau Is Afraid, and I had completely forgotten what it was, but I did notice that it popped up on the Golden Globe nominations, Joaquin Phoenix for Best Actor. (It's an Ari Aster movie, the guy who made Midsommar and several other movies that Rob has liked and I haven't gone to see.) (I know, I'm a wimp.*)

Also I said I forgot all about Across the Spider-verse but I noticed while I was poking around on movie websites that it made nearly $400 million domestic and is currently the #3 movie of the year at the box office. (#1 being Barbie, of course.) And while it wasn't as great as the first one - I adored the first one, I've watched it a dozen times or more - it was still pretty good. (Maybe I should go track the 2nd one down and watch it again, come to think of it!)

The reviews of Wonka are pretty good. We saw the Johnny Depp one (mostly because Christopher Lee was in it, to be honest) and I imagine we're going to end up going to see this one too. Who knew, when I was like, eight, and saw very the first one, that there'd still be Willie Wonka movies coming out all these years later?


*Certain horror movies just freak me out completely and I just go to almost none of them rather than have one give me nightmares. I don't guess that's really being a wimp. Rob doesn't seem to mind going by himself, really, anyway, and it certainly saves us a lot of money.
