seosamh 🇵🇸 on X: "my hot take is that this isn't a sad ending. the film makes it clear oliver was bad for elio by revealing that oliver is closeted and getting married. the tragedy is not that they 'broke up', it is the necessary pain of first heartbreak and thus self discovery" / X

KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON (2023). I feel like late stage Scorsese -- perhaps from WOLF OF WALL STREET onward -- is carving out this new genre: the true-ish fever dream lyrical essay about America. Pictures that feel like full literate novels, all grace notes & soul sickness.

POPEYE (1980). Robert Altman's infamous career-ruining bomb that was also the 11th highest grossing film of 1980, outpacing RAGING BULL, CADDYSHACK, AMERICAN GIGOLO, THE SHINING, & the first FRIDAY THE 13TH. A few of thoughts. First off: the picture absolutely rules. pic.twitter.com/I9a59yf2CN— Tony Tost (@tonytost) June 24, 2023
