 Bad Times at the El Royale

Father Flynn: Right crossed by The Supremes.

Wurlitzer Fu; Shotgun Fu; Dan Draper Fu; Bates Motel Fu.

I would have found a way: To forgive myself.

You've got glass in your face: Recurring motif.

Wolf Love: It wasn't sexual, but it wasn't not sexual, either.

He talks so much: That he starts to believe himself.

Great flick from beginning to end. Cynthia Erivo is the best Super Hero in ages. Great dance music, theater permitting. Check it out.

 2-21-17 Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind I thought I had seen this animation before. It's considered the first Ghibli. Turns out I had never seen it -- but might have read some of the comic books. Anyway, it was really fantastic. I had a great time and can't recommend it enough. Post-Apocalypse: Check. Princess Heroine: Check. Cute pet: Check. Fanciful Flying Machines: Check. Warring Tribes; Warring Species; Warring Ecologies: Check. Sword Fights: Check. Kinda Like? -- Dune. Sand Worms? -- No, Doodle Bugs. Really, really, really good. Check it out.

 Ad Astra 47 BPM: For the future of Mankind! Nothing on the surface: Pirates! Moon buggies! WTF! Mayday from Norway: Planet of the Apes! WTF! Rage! They are using me: Goddam them! Nothing fits: In the current political climate! What's with: All the psych evals? Buck Rogers: No, Hamlet! I regret to inform you: That all crew members are deceased! HAL: Now being played by a down lineman from Harvard. Why go on: Why keep trying? We're: All we've got! I am focused on the essentials: To the exclusion of all else. I had a great time watching this. Visually stunning on the big screen. Pitt nails it. Rather than a dramatic whole, it's a string of episodes that make no sense whatsoever. Check it out!
