Okay, I’ll say it: I got hard.

The Harry Potter guy really went hard with this.

TÁR 2022

★★★ Watched 26 Mar 2023

I respect this movie and I especially respect the FUCK out of Cate Blanchett, but… this movie did not hit right for me. It was long, usually pretty quiet, bleak, long, and kind of aggravating. It was too up its own ass for me (which is coming from someone who dates a classical musician!), and watching something largely about cancel culture and the abusivo tendencies of the massively successful focusing on a queer woman in the arts sort of rubbed…

I just about nearly shat myself when I went onto Disney+ and it told me that The Last Jedi wouldn’t be available until December 26th. Then—whoopsies—I remembered that Netflix still existed.
Anyway.
Wow. I hadn’t watched the seventh Star Wars since July of 2018; well over a year ago. Two evenings earlier, I watched The Force Awakens, which I hadn’t seen since December 14th, 2017—the day I also watched The Last Jedi for the first time.
My sixth viewing of…
