turpsHello there, Mikey Way. Please keep posting pics from one of my favourite eras where you look hot as all hell. I do appreciate it a lot.
We've been to see Joker today. What a film, gritty, unnerving, disturbing and if Joaquin Phoenix doesn't get a handful of awards I'll be very surprised.
We were supposed to meet Corey afterwards for a catch-up and something to eat, but he's not well and is working tonight so I told him to stay in bed and we'll meet up on his next day off instead.
Came home and stopped off to buy a traditional ox sandwich from the Feast. Personally, I'm always dubious if it is actually ox, and James always complains that they're dry. But, it's a Feast tradition, even if I haven't had one since I was a kidlet.
It's the fireworks tonight, but I think I'll just watch them from the front doorstep. I'm tired and a bath followed by my pjs and wrapped in a fluffy dressing gown watching the fireworks from home sounds more appealing than battling the crowds.
I'm trying to talk myself out of buying this dress. It has foxes on it and I love it a lot. But at the same time, I really don't need more dresses. But, foxes! There's also one with pandas on in the sale....

He said that he purposely moved away from a genre he loved (comedy) because everyone was being too PC and comedy was dead (which isn't true).
I was going to say Todd sounds like a bit of a dick, but the more I think about it the more I think he's a huge dick. You're right, there's nothing wrong at all with defending a film you've directed but the way he did so was ridiculous. It sounds like he far more damage than the actual movie itself.
I'm really interested in the awards season this year. I still think Joaquin played a fantastic part, but I agree, there were a lot of other standouts, too.
Can I ask, do you work somehow in media or are you just interested in the film industry? You've told me so much info this year gone about promo and stuff going on in movies and I really love that you do. I know I like different things to you at times, but you're still my film guru.

Date: 2020-01-03 07:07 pm (UTC)One of the most exciting things about this season is that there aren't any definite faves. Like, last year it was ALL ABOUT the gorram A Star is Born (which I loathed), Green Book (same), and ROMA (which was pretty good.) There's a certain, I dunno, chaotic vibe to what is still in the running.

LOL, no. Something like 20 years ago, I did dreamed about becoming a film critic but Life got in the way. Mostly, I really love movies and am endlessly fascinated by the behind-the-scenes stuff as well. I am deffo far from a film industry insider.
