Re May/December -- I read it as you did lisp = moments of reversion, but not as an affectation. That's why, for me, Natalie Portman's mirror monologue near the end hits hard when she starts using the lisp as you describe, but then slips into and out of it as the lines blur between Moore as victim or predator. If you take the conversation at the end at face value, though, you could see it as an intentional effort by Moore to plant the false abuse narrative, in which case the moments where the lisp doesn't "fit" might just be character choices to show where her pretense slip.

Hmm, I guess that could be the case, but there didn't seem to be a huge amount of rhyme or reason to her going in and out of the lisp when I started paying close attention to it about a third of the way in. It seems to me as if you're broadly right, but I think they were unfortunately a bit inconsistent in the idea's implementation.

genuinely submitting The Flash as a decent "so bad it's good" movie, esp with a couple beers, with the disclaimer Ezra Miller is a monster obviously but at least this lost WB a bunch of money. I kinda inched through it over a couple days. So many bizarre choices, genuine moments of *beauty* where you're like, is this Ray Livingston animated on a PS3?? openly guffawed as I saw the baby scene, the cut to CGI nick cage after the most dramatic beat in the film, childhood Ezra Miller, loving GEORGE CLOONEY getting convinced to show up, Ezra Miller 2's Cotillard in DKR death, etc. Lotta big and little things, just totally and tonally incoherent, and wonderfully ugly at times. You made a Flash movie and you couldn't make it look good when he runs. It's pretty great.

I felt like I was watching a French Stewart/Paulie Shore vehicle and past the baffling baby scene it couldn't end fast enough. My qualifier for "bad is good" is there has to be a majority of people involved trying to make a good movie in earnest. Flash is a product with little passion

The Holdovers (for which Paul Giamatti won a Best Actor Golden Globe and Da'Vine Joy Randolph won Best Supporting Actress) is on Peacock - I really enjoyed it. Really nice to see Alexander Payne work with Paul Giamatti again.

Cozy is getting overused, though, and we're starting to head into "it's a mush word with a vaguely positive connotation" territory.

ONE YEAR LATER posted:is this your first day on the internet or something people overuse words all the time, just accept it You've misunderstood. There's absolutely nothing I can do about it, not do I think that talking to a couple dozen thread readers on a dead forum can "turn the tide" toward something like this. I was just pointing out that the director - who is 62 years old - probably doesn't realize that a lot of people are using "cozy" as a sort of synonym for comfortable and easy to engage with, if that.

For Disney-Disney I dig those "Zenimation" shorts. I can pass on Star Wars and Marvel stuff, except I did like Andor. And there's Marvel one-off called "Werewolf by Night" that was well-done in its style. There's 5 seasons of the original Muppet Show on there.

I have Disney + from a friend but since I don't have kids I only use it for classic Simpsons and even then I forget half the time that I can. I guess like, Tron Legacy, the classic Star Wars/Indiana Jones movies, and maybe X2 if they have it???

Does America get the Stars content? If you do you get all the Searchlight movies, quite a few decent ones. But if you don’t have kids then what are you expecting from Disney+? There’s a lot of Disney content on there.
