A few movies I/we’ve watched of late:

Watching The Substance (imdb | rotten tomatoes) in a crowded theatre was a trip. At once a treatise on feminine beauty standards as well as a disgusting body horror, it was a squirmy affair.

Napoleon (imdb | rotten tomatoes) was a bit of spectacle (especially the battle at Austerlitz) but somehow still mostly banal.

Buy Now! (imdb | rotten tomatoes) was a decent anti-consumerist documentary wrapped around a very dumb AI assistant narrative device. Just in time for Black Friday, though.

After roughly a decade of meaning to, I finally watched What We Do In The Shadows (imdb | rotten tomatoes) and it was as good as I’d imagined. It spurred us to start watching the show, which is obviously filmed in Toronto. It also introduced me to an excellent 58-year-old song which I somehow never remember hearing before.
