when did you clean this last?

did tarantino produce this? I kept lookin' up and seeing full-focus shots of sweeney's and seyfried's feet every five minutes. idk, maybe that's on me for watching inattentively from time to time, but it seemed like A Lot.

this could have been a really meaty role in the hands of someone capable of delivering a riveting portrayal. instead we got Sydney "Bathwater" Sweeney. the bathwater should have starred. it undoubtedly has more intensity.

the story is decent, which is a good sign it's based on an existing property (and it is!). again, the various twists would be delivered better by someone whose default expression is not solely "dull surprise" but no sense in bemoaning what could have been.

the other redeeming quality of this dogshit movie is Amanda Seyfried, who is acting her fucking ass off from minute two onwards and whose portrayal is absolutely stunning. I'm glad I got to see that.

okay, one more gripe: the guy is a fuckin cipher; has no personality. He does do some acting near the end, but it still rings hollow.

Charlotte does a cool trick

local coffee shop has a small sign up this month. black text on a white square, basically saying "it is pride month." colorful background, but no rainbow. three years ago this shop was practically "SLAY QUEEN!!!!" in june.
