DISCLOSURE DAY: Breathlessly yet patiently paced, fueled by a fiercely beating battle cry for empathy even (and especially) as the world burns. Leave it to a master like Spielberg to show what magic and majesty movies can still have if big-budget films can breathe and provoke rather than placate.

"While Backrooms occasionally trades the eerie intimacy of the original YouTube videos for a strain of lead-footed literalism... Parsons’ assured command of the film’s bone-chilling dread [and] thematic ambition more than justifies the leap from viral curiosity to prestige production." Full review:
My kid graduated from elementary school today and I’m hella proud and more emotional about it than expected. We’ve been at that school since she was Pre-K, navigated COVID at that school… basically I’m a sap and I’m posting about it.
Had to break out the Garage Du Cinema to show my daughter THE LAST JEDI for the first time. (Prolly only my third time seeing it?) This is a four quadrant studio blockbuster that simply speaks to me on a pretty profound level.
