    Good hotel room movie.

    The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar

    ★★★★½

    The recursive storytelling was great. Felt like a comedy sketch at times, especially with that "I could see the expression on his face!" bit, and the part when Ben Kingsley had to stumble through his monologue while doing a makeup change. I think this is the furthest Anderson has gone making the artifice of his films the centerpiece and I really like it.

    Fittingly, I watched this via Frank Howley's twitch stream with a gif of Rouge the Bat swinging her tits back and forth in the corner of the screen. Conner O'Malley is pushing boundaries.

    What a surreal ending. The best slow-burn of any of these specials.
