TFW you spent most of the week trying to crack the structure of the story, and now finally all the puzzle pieces fit together coherently.
(let's just hope the director and the lead performer approve it)

Went to a special screening of a 1969 Kyrgyz classic #AkMöör tonight.
A cinematic poem of the highest order: told (and often sung!) in verse, staged like a theater play, framed like an avantgarde silent film. And Tattybyubyu Tursunbayeva is one of the most beautiful women to ever walk this earth.

Discussing my new work project with mom:
–We'd like to use interviews to guide the narrative.
–You could voice them with AI!
–We hope to use animation, too, although it's so expensive.
–Why don't you generate it with AI?
–Sadly, there are no lyrics for this aria online.
–Use AI voice recognition!

Watching #MariaByCallas for a little work project, and it's astonishing how much the real Callas in 1970 looks like Angelina Jolie.
Pablo Larraín couldn't have picked a better actress for his film.

Not sure what I expected from a #ResidentEvil score, but dissonant jazz horns over a John Carpenter synth?
That's as unique as it is perfect.

I've been spending entirely too much time in #CODWarzone the past few months, but hey, it's my last opportunity to do so before they discontinue the PS4 version.

Revisited #EndOfDays, and it features some of the most delightfully excessive editing I've ever seen.
We made fun on Liam Neeson needing a dozen cuts to climb a fence, but this might be even more hilarious. And, unlike Taken 3, it has Arnold blowing up Satan with a grenade launcher!

How the fuck did they manage to make Cooper Hoffman look unsexy?
I guess, developing AI does that to a man.

Revisited #TheAmazingSpiderMan2 last night.
Remember hating it back in 2014. But now, watching it back-to-back with the original TASM, it's shocking how much of an improvement it is in pretty much every aspect. Cinematography, production design, music, pacing, VFX. Everything...
...except story 🙃

Somehow I never noticed that #TheAmazingSpiderMan never resolves:
1) What happened to Peter's parents;
2) What happened to uncle Ben's killer;
3) What happened to Mr. Ratha.
Not only that, the movie directly CALLS ITSELF OUT on not bringing closure to its subplots!

Rewatching #SpiderMan and keep thinking how Tobey Maguire feels kinda miscast.
This Peter is written with a hint of danger to him. A weird quiet kid who's one bad day away from snapping. Heath Ledger or Jake Gyllenhaal could bring that darkness to the surface. Maguire downplays it into blandness.

Exploring the Japanese #SpiderMan series.
Not only is it delightfully ridiculous, the 1970s filmmaking hits like crack. Look at this shot alone! Focus pulling magic ✨

Unsure where this pic came from, but the irony is delicious.
Hudson Williams, star of one of the biggest queer shows ever, wears a t-shirt featuring the film Ivan's Childhood and its star Nikolai Burlyayev.
Meanwhile, Burlyayev is a raging homophobe and would probably have a stroke if he saw this.

Oh my god.
They're actually considering making it after all.
Not sure how I feel about it, to be honest. That everyone at Lucasfilm were so excited about Burns's script does give me hope. But fundamentally reviving Ben Solo feels like such a *wrong* idea to me, almost a pivot to erase TROS.
