At the movies: Eternals.

 

I liked it. I admire its genial weirdness and where it puts its foot down. This seems like the first MCU film that engages with the tightrope walk alongside ridiculousness all universe-shaking plotlines must undertake. 

At the movies: Dune Part One.

 

My thoughts on Dune Part One are complicated, though generally positive. I am very much psyched for Part Two.

At the movies: Arrebato (1979)

 

A new restoration of one of the greats of psychotronic queer druggy cursed film cinema. You've never seen anything like it.

At the movies: Possession (1981)

 

Because you say "I" for me.

At the movies: Halloween Kills aka Halloween Bangs aka Halloween No

 

It is what it is, which is not very good. There's a great Sam Niles review that made me reconsider some things, but I still shake with rage when I think about this one. It's not as bad or stupid as The Rise of Skywalker, but it comes very close.

At the movies: Night Teeth.

 

Night Teeth, the new Netflix vampire epic, is visually stunning and socially interesting, and nestled within it is a one-scene wonder performance from Megan Fox like she's auditioning for Selene Gallio whenever the MCU figures their shit out.

Laser Prince!!!

 Like every alt-weekly, The Nashville Scene does big things with the annual Best of Nashville issue. I was able to bring attention to (generally) an artistic phenomenon that I really enjoy - planetarium laser shows - and (specifically) the amazing Laser Prince show that was developed by Nashville's own Adventure Science Center/Cumberland Science Museum folk. It's a great show, and if it comes to your nearby planetarium, it's the one spoken of here, developed at Nashville's Sudekum planetarium. Enjoy.
