If you look just a little, there is good stuff out there. The key is to not listen to the haters. The Bride! has a lot of haters, but I watched it last night and found it to be really entertaining and a quality message on how women are judged and perceived. It was weird and wild and sometimes didn’t make sense, but all of it worked. It was better than Saltburn and Marty Supreme put together and both of those wound up in the Golden Globes. The latter was in the Oscar conversation. I don’t think Disclosure Day will be in those conversations, but it was a solid film that makes you think about how we will respond to the proof of extra terrestrial life. It takes a stab at explaining why we haven’t disclosed and what it would take for such a thing to happen. Beyond that it feels like a huge moment of catharsis for Spielberg.
This is but the first week of my own Summer Movie Marathon. The Death of Robin Hood opens on Friday. Supergirl takes flight a week later. I’ll have a lot to say about them. But for now I just have time for…
Some Thoughts:
- Absolutely Bonkers Headline of the Day: “Cape Verde holds Spain to a surprising 0-0 draw in the country’s World Cup debut” Soccernerdness moment. It does feel good when a very lowly ranked team (64 in the world… only 48 teams in the cup!) shows out against the #3 team on the planet.
- Not invited to the visit. I am not surprised. Feels good to know I can start making plans for the weekend. Happy Father’s Day to me.
