The "Here and Now" Edition
Dear Readers,
A handful of movie tips for Oscar season:
Past Lives: 2 Thumbs Up
Anatomy Of A Fall: Deux pouces vers le haut, aussi!
May December: 3 Thumbs Up
Poor Things: All fingers are clapping with delight
Maestro: 1 Thumb Up
Napoleon: 0 Thumbs given
Killers of The Flower Moon: will cut off own thumb before I see it
Saltburn: Confusing marketing has caused my thumbs not to be aware ‘til recently
Hunger Games Part XLVII or whatever we’re up to: many other peoples’ thumbs are up
Renaissance: A Film By Beyoncé: both thumbs anticipated to go way up when I see this
Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour: don’t know how many fingers I need for number of eras represented
Wonka: Pinkyswear you’ll see this!
This round-up brought to you courtesy of me being short on time. Tonight is an annual holiday party that I am delighted to be going to — pretty much the only one, besides my own Hanukkah party, where the happy-anticipation-to-dread ratio is 10-1 or better! However, due to my own possession of multiple eras, a good old fashioned disco nap is mandatory. Headed off to nod off right now.
