    Watched Little Miss Sunshine and Grave of the Fireflies last night with my movie group.

    LMS was pretty good, the pageant was creepy bit but I think that was the point. Nice little heartwarming family story and some corpse wrangling.

    GotF was intensely sad as expected. The animation is absolutely top notch and the story is super relevant to our current events of war and civilian suffering.

      Grave of the Fireflies is by far my favorite Ghibli film. It’s also my favorite movie I never want to watch again. When people say animation isn’t real cinema or it’s for kids, you know they’ve never experienced GotF.

        Yeah the animation is top notch and the subject matter is definitely not “kids movie “. I’ve now been trying to get people to watch it, so poignant for the times we live in.

    I’m going to see, “Priscilla” by Sofia Coppola soon.

    I enjoyed, “killers of the flower moon” by Scorsese and didn’t mind the length. It was a hot day outside so I appreciated the nearly 4 hours of air conditioning for the same price as 2 hours of AC. The story was good too.

    Recently, I watched…

    Batman Returns (1992): The scene of the cats congregating around Selina Kyle after Shreck threw her out of the office window (and before she’s reborn as Catwoman) is so iconic. I remember seeing that scene on television when I was a child. Danny DeVito’s performance as The Penguin is also mega.

    Blade Runner (1982): My eyes got heavy while watching it because all of the scenes are visually dark, which is certainly intentional. The world-building is amazing.

    12 Monkeys (1995): It was interesting to watch this movie after having seen the TV series when it originally aired. The TV series is my second favorite sci-fi show, but I thought the movie was fine.

    Movies, sadly not much atm. Been watching shows and youtube reactions whilst travelling. That said, I’ve seen fresh reactions to greats such as Who Framed Roger Rabbit and 28 Days Later.
