Well, here's the topic.

Only seen 26 movies from the 2020s but it is the best and probably will be until at least Killers of the Flower Moon comes out.

Saw it on 70mm and it was gorgeous. Super funny. Good soundtrack with just one Jonny Greenwood composed piece. Alana Haim and Cooper Hoffman would be movie stars in another timeline where anyone gave a shit about real movies. Good cameos from bigger stars like Bradley Cooper, Tom Waits, and Sean Penn.

Yes. Lots of people getting into wacky high jinks.

I look forward to the horrible discourse it inspires during the Oscar race!

You've made me remember that some of my dad's old VHS movies had previews for a film called "Mystic Pizza," and to this day I'm not sure if it was a real thing or not.

Gonna watch Nightmare Alley and Liquorice Pizza sometime this week. Still have to see The French Dispatch. Fuckers had it in theaters here for like 1 week.

The French Dispatch is pretty good. Not sure if that or West Side Story is my runner-up to LP.

Really want to see Drive My Car but it is three hours long. And with LA traffic it will be a nine hour all-day ordeal. Also need to make time for Benedetta and C'mon C'mon...

My group decided to watch House of Gucci last week instead of C'mon C'mon. Probably the worst movie I've seen in theaters in 5 years. Gonna catch C'mon C'mon on stream. I've been waiting for showings of Drive My Car and Benedetta here but no word yet.

House of Gucci was pretty lame. I liked Driver and Gaga but it felt like the plot was leading the characters instead of the other way around. Jared Leto also made me believe it is actually 100% possible to be incredibly racist towards Italians. Also maybe it was just shitty AMC projection but the movie was so dark/drab looking. Speaking of shitty AMC projection my showing of West Side Story froze for like ten minutes in the middle. Pretty good way to spend $17. We weren't even offered vouchers or anything.

Awful movie. Unless you like non-stop exposition, beige/brown/gray/orange color palettes, poorly done action scenes, and for movies to be one act and then like ten minutes of a second act before abruptly ending. If you like that then you probably loved it.

Julia Roberts movie from the 80s where shes a waitress at a pizza place, I remember coming across it once. Didnt watch it, but it has decent (if not spectacular) reviews.

Points out racism toward Italians, but not the anti-asian racism and anti-semitism in Licorice Pizza. Also, an adult leading on a literal minor.

The Asian stuff is like ninety seconds of screentime in a 130 minute movie. Jared Leto shows up quite a bit in Gucci, so.... not sure it's super comparable. Also the racist in LP is clearly a buffoon. Would I have put it in if it were up to me? No! Is the movie still incredible? Yes! Hope that clears things up for you.

Also there isn't pedophilia, grooming, whatever, in LP. Anyone who talks about some age gap romance is quite frankly a moron because while he pursues her she keeps him at arm's length and is seeing various other men her age or older throughout the movie. And I have no idea what the anti-semitism thing is alluding to.

Oh yeah forgot about the boobs. They kiss at the very very end. Like literally five seconds before it ends. Also it should be noted that they are both terrible, opportunistic people. Like the ending is kinda nice since you've grown to enjoy spending time with them, it's a super fun movie, you wind up rooting for them, but they're definitely growing up to be Trump supporting boomers and probably gonna have an incredibly unhealthy relationship if it escapes the honeymoon phase. Don't really think this movie is at all an endorsement or celebration of their/her behavior in any way. Not sure if people are really able to understand depiction doesn't mean endorsement in movies anymore though. Something good to keep in mind when watching real movies instead of having Disney brain and needing everything spelled out for you. See it starting on Christmas day in select theaters everyone thanks.
