I forgot to add: No one paid me or offered me any treats to review these movies. I am not beholden. And I didn’t use AI to write or research a single word. I want to be taken out on a wild shopping spree now, though. I’m pooped.
I didn’t review “Sentimental Value” bc the folks at NEON wouldn’t send me a digital screener. I hear it’s very good and you can see how film distributors are shooting themselves when they don’t get their assets out to reviewers. Whom does it serve?
“Marty Supreme” is coming out Xmas in theaters, then eventually on AppleTV. It’s an A24 movie, and they are ambitious for Best Actor and Best Picture nods. They sent me a screener the afternoon after our first ballots were due. I don’t vote on what I don’t see.
Again, why the contempt for critics? Why not get it out earlier? Sorry, their “piracy” worries with me and other credentialed critics is absurd. I wrote to AppleTV publicists long ago, without reply. The idea that they don’t need credibility is hubris. Marty is an ambitious movie worthy of criticism, and they aren’t doing their audience or profit margin any favors by hiding the cheese. None of the producers can afford to ignore their dwindling moviegoers
Anything else “obvious” that I didn’t include is bc I did not like it. I do not like Green Eggs with Spam.
You’re always so far ahead of me. I’ll never catch up!
I could hardly get past your use of the words "hot mink". -- nice. Also I definitely approve of you "showing them all."
Also thanks for a great list. I just watched Spinal Tap again (for reasons) and need more recommendations

Susie, I LOVE this list and thank you for laying out my viewing plans for the next month while it rains and rains!!
Is it going to be a rainy January in our little town?
