Saw Manchester by the Sea yesterday. It was a gut punch in the best possible way, and convinced me once and for all that Casey Affleck is a great actor.

Random note - Gosling's character's styling in The Place Beyond the Pines was amazing.
Re: Ford - Just checked what he's upto on Wikipedia - Indiana Jones 5 (2019) - YIKES
Ridley's new Alien entry looks like Freddie vs. Jason, however, and betrayed half the plot from the trailer.

Recently watched: Captain Fantastic, Your Name, Soul Mate
Soul Mate is definitely one of the best movies I've seen in a long while, especially considering the subpar rut American film making has been in of remakes, sequels, and oscar-bait.
It's very much a slice of life film jumping from present to past over the stretch of these characters lives together.
I'd recommend it to those who are into Hou Hsiao-hsien and Wong Kar-wai a la Millennium Mambo and Chungking Express, respectively.

Just watched it. Had the screener but only looked for it when I saw E's comment. Really resonates with a lot of my thinking recently, unfortunately much less of my doing so far. Not too late.Hi. I like your necklace. - It's actually a rape whistle, but the whistle part fell off.

Watched that doc on Netflix about minimalism. That lady with the glasses talking about the issues of fast fashion and waste seemed smart, and the Jimmy Carter speech was cool, but didn't find the rest too interesting. Even as someone who tries to keep as few possessions as possible (except wardrobe ofc), I've grown tired of claims that people consume to fill some void of meaning in their lives and that such consumption somehow precludes happiness, that people and life experiences are what truly matter. My life experience tells me that people disappoint and relationships fleet, while cashmere comforts.

I'm getting more and more tired, or upset by peoples general attitude of "what I spend money on has more value than what you do". Realise this is a slight extension on the other thought/discussion the random fashion thoughts thread, but yeah.
On another more topical note, saw Moonlight last weekend. Poignant, and the chopped-and-skewed score paired with the rest of the music was beautiful.

Go see Logan guys. It's so damn good!
Dont get discourage by the Superhero thing. It is a really well done character drama first and foremost featuring a dude with a claw also a kick ass little girl.
Also Patrick Stewart saying fuck a lot.
Split is also decent, are we in for Shayamalan cinematic universe now?
Get out: best movie of this year so far.
