Hustle, 2022 - ★★★★★

Just Perfect. I LOVE sports movies, especially basketball movies, ESPECIALLY when real players are in it!!! (Yes, I loved KD's 2012 movie Thunderstruck) I watched Hustle because I love Anthony Edwards, and yeah, he was great, but I had no clue the amazing movie I was signing up for, I just love me some Ant-man! Adam Sandler's portrayal of Stanley Sugerman was amazing. I prefer seeing him in more serious roles like this and Uncut Gems versus his comedy heyday in the 2000s. He's a really good actor, and he demonstrates it in movies like this. Juancho Hernangomez did a phenomenal job as Bo Cruz. It's crazy that this is his acting debut. I'm definitely putting him up there with Ant-man now for favorite player. Anthony Edwards is number one, and Hernangomez is number two. I loved how a LOT of basketball players were in the movie and it didn't feel busy, just natural. So many of the hottest basketball players from different generations, teams, leagues, and countries, and they all fit seamlessly. Usually, when stars of any kind are put together in one production it feels like a publicity move, but not in Hustle. In Hustle, everyone's presence made perfect sense. The cinematography of this movie was good. When making a sports movie, you have to have a certain level of cinematography because sports are fast, especially basketball, but this movie went above and beyond. The training segment around the middle of the movie was the best montage I've ever seen. It was masterfully shot and edited. I just came to see my favorite basketball player act, but I ended up watching one of the best movies of the year (in MY opinion) P.S. Dear Hollywood, get Anthony Edwards and Juancho Hernangomez in more movies! - Letterboxd

Elvis, 2022 - ★★★★★

Baz Luhrmann, you are my guy 4L. What an awesome movie. I'm sickened by the level of greatness that movie possessed. But I mean, who can be surprised? This was a Baz Luhrmann film after all. Austin Butler put his SOUL into his performance as Elvis Presley. What a beautiful film. Super duper kudos to the whole cast and crew. And I give a special shoutout to makeup as well as the editing crew. They did their thing! I know some will have complaints about the extravagance of the film, but 1) it's about Elvis, what did you expect? and 2) It's a Baz Luhrmann film, what did you expect? Baz Luhrmann was the perfect guy to make an Elvis movie, he completely gets how to put on a show, just like EP himself. - Letterboxd http://dlvr.it/STHvDQ

Vogue: An Ode To The Marc Jacobs The Tote Bag

  This image is from the Vogue article,  An Ode To The Marc Jacobs The Tote Bag . I think it's such a lovely photo. I bought my own MJ tote bag today, yasss! It is so beautiful!!! I got The Small Tote Bag in Black . After tax, it cost 210.60. I only have 9.33 left lol. I have 30 more bucks on the way, but 39.33 still isn't much. This summer I have  to get a job. I want more Marc Jacobs tote bags. I also want clothes, so I really need the money. My odd jobs are inconsistent so I can't rely on that to buy bags which cost over 200 after tax. Now, here are some general updates: - Today, I watched Brightburn, as well as Sparky and Micaela and Hamster PSA, so that's 3 more parts of James Gunn's filmography I've completed. - Right now, I am watching Movie 43. I really like it! This is so funny lol.

Yet the Town Keeps Going

In my May 31 post titled "Being Weird", I said, "Now that I've completed Stranger Things, I don't really know what to do. I've been reading  this new manga , and I like it, but I'm not obsessed with it. It's fun, that's all. It's not like Arakawa Under the Bridge, or the series I read last summer where I spent every waking moment on them. I don't think there are many more series out there that can consume me the way the stuff I read last summer did.". Here is an update on that manga. The manga is called Soredemo Machi wa Mawatteiru or SoreMachi for short. In English, the name is Yet the Town Keeps Going, but I like to call it SoreMachi. I read it from May 29 to June 5, and I totally loved it. At the beginning, I was not obsessed, but as I read further I could not put it down. At first, I felt it was going by slowly, but eventually, it started speeding by and I was at the final chapter (138.5) in a flash. 139 chapters went by like noth...
