watched

This is the first time I've rewatched this since getting into Dropout series. So of course I jumped out of my seat when I saw Jacob Wysocki!

This was so long ago

To me this felt like they thought of the last 30 mins of the movie and came up with some plot to fill the first two hours. I think the last 30 mins were very impressive, specially Courtney Grace's performance. Its such a small part but it felt so real. The last line in the film felt very underwhelming. While I get that themes of the movie this felt like an oversimplified way to get the message out, specially nowadays.

How can Zuckemborg let this happen?

Didnt know what to expect but it wasnt this. If I hadnt seen Kevin can F**k Himself I might have had a different opinion

Equally funny and heartbreaking.

O: I liked Baloo and when King Louie's castle broke

I really thought we were going to get a rickshaw "Akira slide"

I think knowing a little about the actual lore would've helped me get more into it.

I just want to see a full length movie that is animated in the style of that one character's intro.

While I enjoyed the production itself, the way that its filmed made it a little rough to watch. By the second act it got a little better.

I went in with high expectations after Superman (2025). It was good we got to see some of Kara's backstory to see how different she is from Clark but it sort of made the story drag a bit for me.

They should have saved this title for the last movie in the series.

O: Let's watch it again

O: "They won the Piston Cup!"

...Apart from the summer of 1979 when I wanted to be Kermit the Frog

I dropped it half a star for throwing the Batman album

BB-8: 👍

Even though I have enjoyed all the films in this series, I somehow always go in with very low expectations and leave very entertained. I cant wait for when they eventually do a spin off of Varang and the Mangkwan.

I watched this after finishing Dispatches from Elsewhere and it just didn't feel right.

I don't like it, I don't agree with it, but I accept it.

Grogu: "Now THIS is podracing"

This was fine? Some subplots felt unnecessary which brought the overall plot to a halt and made this feel a lot longer than it actually was.

O: "but why didn't they catch him the first time?"

I laughed

O: "I loved all of it"

Well, Terry, it sure as shit ain't sad.

Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face, stars fill my dreams.

I originally watched this for April's IndieWeb Movie Club but didn't get around to posting about it. I also read Story of your Life which this film is based on since I hadn't done that before.

👎

Spoilers: I really liked the ending reveal with the Andromedans, both the concept and the look of it. But I've been having a hard time with the ending of this film because it feels like it validates conspiracy theorists to go through with some pretty awful behavior.

Absolutely crushed by this film. Jessie Buckley is amazing in everything but this might be my favorite performance by her. The scene where they are practicing the play is so powerful and you can hear the pain behind Paul Mescal's "Again". Go thy ways to a nunnery. Again.
