All the talk of FilmStruck I forgot to even stick to the thread:
Last films:
Phantom Thread: I couldn’t click with this until I started comparing it in my head to something like Rebecca or Faulkner’s A Rose for Emily. A very well made “gothic” romance. Really enjoyed it. Greenwood’s best score and it’s always a treat to see what character Day Lewis is going to conjure up.
Last Jedi: I’m always going to watch Star Wars because I never want to forget what it feels like to be a kid. That said WAY better than Force Awakens. It’s probably been talked to death already but this one has restored my faith in the franchise. Not by much but just enough to make me happy.
