2022 so far (movie edition)
Dec. 2nd, 2022 12:50 am(I was the first person to post on Holidailies this year, not because I was dying to be first but because I wrote my post ahead of time, as I said, so at midnight I was like, well, might as well post it!!)
OK, so, movies. The last movie we've seen is She Said, which is practically the same movie as Spotlight, except here the it's the Times instead of the Globe and the evildoer is Harvey Weinstein rather than priests. (OK, not exactly the same....) I really liked it, but then I always like these movies about newspapers (Spotlight, The Post, All the President's Men...). One thing - we noticed that Rob was possibly the only man in the theater, and there were quite a few people there. I read that this movie was basically considered to be a bomb - the reviews are good, but it's not making money. My guess about that is that the subject is something a lot of men don't want to go to a movie about. (I developed that theory even before we went to see it, but I still suspect I'm basically correct.)
(I would also like to point out, in case the very thought of him puts you off, that Mr Weinstein himself barely appears in the movie. You hear his voice a couple of times and there's one scene toward the end where he - or rather an actor who looks vaguely like him - comes in and yells briefly at the editors before stomping out, as I recall.)
Before that, the last movie *I* saw, anyway - because, y'know, my husband and his horror movies, more on which below - was Wakanda Forever. It wasn't as good as the first one, because how could it possibly be? but it was still pretty good. I think we'll probably go back to that one sometime this month.
Every movie I saw in a theater in fall 2022:
And I said it before: horror movies got made during the pandemic, at least the low-budget ones (Terrifier 2) did, when not much else did. Although that particular one was released on such a microscopic number of screens that if I hadn't poked around the movie release list and said, "hey, this sounds like something you'd like" and then got online and found a place where it was actually showing, Rob might have never seen that one. But that's an outlier, really. (It was unrated and I think they said it cost $300,000 to make, or something absurdly low like that.) Things like X - still small-budget but not that small - are more like the norm, I think. But I'm not an expert on this subject, I'm just married to a really big fan.
Anyway... in addition to the movies I saw above, Rob also saw:
