Saw King Richard. It was fine. Good even. Not sure Smith deserved the best actor Oscar for it, but he’s been nominated many times and lost, so this is what eventually happens.
Watched Rudy for the first time (I think). Good stuff. I get it.
Re-watched Drive. Only the second time I’ve seen it, almost 10 years after the first. I’ve rewatched scenes here and there, but this was the first full rewatch. Still a fucking incredible movie as far as I’m concerned. It really chews away on noir and pulp tropes, more so than I remember, but it also blows those tropes to hell and, y’know, proverbially smashes their brains in with a hammer.
Still surprisingly, almost overwhelmingly, sweet all in all.
