It's all Big Pharma. Somehow. They just ruin everything.
Good to see a few familiar faces about. :cheers: I mean on separate people.
And there's AB too...which is...well, you know.

A beautiful, character driven drama with humanity at its core, often amid bureaucratic inhumanity featuring a brilliantly understated performance from Richard Jenkins in the central role with effective righteous ire when needed in a story where different cultures meet but common values are what is important.

I saw this and remember thoroughly enjoying it, although I remember so little else (my fault, not the fault of the movie) that you've prompted me to find it again.

It's so worth repeated watches anyway so I hope you find it again and enjoy it just as much as I did yesterday.

I've got this on my Prime watchlist, waiting for them to make it rentable. Hope you're back soon, my friend. You're missed.

Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood: Not a fairytale, it takes pretend and captures something real.
I saw it last weekend and although it's quite a long movie, it didn't feel like it. Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt were amazing, Margot Robbie was beautiful, fleeting and ephemeral, a true-to-life Sharon Tate. The cinematography and the lighting were gorgeous. I don't know the first thing about filmmaking but I know how a movie makes me feel, and as a native Southern Californian and a child of the 60s, I knew it was fantasy but it felt like home, it felt like old memories. I had a similar reaction to Tangerine and Bosch, but as a comparison, Florida Project, washed as it was in its own kind of light felt different because that was Florida light, not California light. The movie was less violent than I expected until near the end, and then as expected I did have to kind of look at the edges of the screen for a bit. I loved the twist of who Margot was watching in the movie theater. But that final scene, though... and the music. Going back to see it again.

PS: Completely aside, The New Yorker usually has impeccable editing, but in this review of Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood, how did this run-on sentence pass muster?
A mostly functional alcoholic, he wanders Los Angeles—from his house, on Cielo Drive, in the Hollywood Hills, which he bought when he was more prosperous, to studios for the occasional day of filming, and to various watering holes, ferried around by his confidant and employee, Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt).
Eight commas and an Em dash.

One of those films you just stumble across while looking for something and what a little gem it is. I only wish it had gone on a bit longer. Brilliant performances in what's ostensibly a comedy drama but with the emphasis on drama overall as essentially three disparate people connect from entirely different perspectives and form a bond.
