Google tells me Dafoe is 5'7", so not teeny tiny, but also not tall. But yeah, he's seven inches taller than me. (I am tiny, but mostly refuse to admit it. *g*)
I quite enjoyed The Farewell, and it did not make me cry. But then, it is generally unpredictable what will make me cry. I did a melodrama course in uni, and my classmates called me heartless because I giggled through Camille with Garbo while they were weeping. They got their revenge a couple of weeks later when I wept uncontrollably through Stella Dallas.
I've got tix to see Terminator Dark Fate with the director at our Cinematheque next week. I can't wait. It looks like it's got everything I love about the best of the Terminator. (I adored The Sarah Connor Chronicles series with its many kickass women.) Ash is the Purest White I have not yet seen, but I'm up and down on Jia Zhangke's films. I loved his first couple that played here, but there was one in the middle (Mountains May Depart, I think) where he portrays a woman in her 40s as old and infirm and I just wanted to punch him in the face. I am resigned to streaming Fast Colors. I love Gugu Mbatha-Raw a lot.
I've got nothing good to say about Pitt's astronaut movie. I didn't care about the characters, the plot's kinda dumb, and there were so many science gaffs in it my eyes nearly rolled out of my head. It's hard to see the bad reviews for Lucy in the Sky for anything but misogyny, given the glowing reviews for Ad Astra.
Unless there's consensus that it's awful, I will also see Birds of Prey in the theatre. Gotta support Grrl Power, even if it is from a multinational corporation.
