Recently finished Four out of four stars. Would recommend. Would read again. "Phil always did the castrating; first he sliced off the cup of the scrotum and tossed it aside; next he forced down first one and then the other testicle, slit the rainbow membrane that enclosed it, tore it out, and tossed it into the fire where the branding irons glowed." In progress:

Recently finished Three out of four stars. Would recommend. Would read again. "When the doctor had gone, and the two women from the village he had been waiting for were upstairs shut in with her dead father, Lucy went out into the garden and stood leaning on the gate staring at the sea."

Also, I'm puzzled by this part

"the pretentious who make unwatchable movies such as Everything Everywhere, or #LaLaLand, or #ThePowerOfTheDog. All of them mediocre films rewarded for politics not talent."

I haven't seen the other two, but from what I do know, I cannot think what they all have in common, besides" This lady in particular hates them" 🤷‍♂️

Someone's got an axe to grind, is all i can guess

Mandy Walker (#Elvis) is the third Female DP to be nominated for Best #Cinematography. Correct? Rachel Morrisson (#Mudbound), Ari Wegner (#ThePowerOfTheDog) before her. Ellen Kuras was nominated as Dir/Prod (#TheBetrayal). #Oscar #AcademyAwards

Yesterday I watched #thepowerofthedog and was half paying attention most of the way through. I totally missed the point that Benedict Cumberbatch's character was also gay (the whole premise). It was weird seeing him play an abusive character when he seems super nice in reality. The scenery was very Jane Campion. Kirsten Dunst has changed- in a good way. I recommend if you appreciate modern-made westerns. 4/5 stars.

Exactly one year ago I saw #ThePowerOfTheDog for the first time.
The following conversation took place unintentionally in the museum today:

C1: In Argentina, sheepskins used to be worth more than meat.
C2: Oh, you have to be careful with cattle hides, they can be dangerous. There's this excellent film. Steffi, what's it called again?
Me: The Power of the Dog.
C1: Ah, with the penguin man.

5. (new). 7/10. Robin Wright is good and there’s a hint of to it, but without the depth of emotional resonance. Beautifully shot and good folksy soundtrack.

6. (new, for me) 9/10. Fantastic fight scenes albeit verging on the superheroic number of hit points…definitely see the DNA of in this and vice versa.

7. (new). 9/10. Very under the skin psychological tension. All four leads excellent. Quietly disturbing.

@SaltiredPopcorn Interesting! I loved #inthecut and watched it multiple times, but that was a while ago. I’ve yet to see #thepowerofthedog, but haven’t felt drawn to it, really.

So that is a slight bit of context, and an excuse to mention some other big names people may enjoy. Someone like #janecampion has been hit and miss for me (hated #inthecut but loved #thepowerofthedog) and I view hashtags and lists as nothing more than a fleeting snapshot of potential conversation starters and chances for connections. 😀😀
