I started rewatching some of Everything Everywhere All at Once last night at like 1 AM and found myself accidentally staying up for the next two hours simply because this movie just sucks you in right from the start and never lets up until the final frame and my god I just love it so much

(Also lol at anyone saying Michelle Yeoh “doesn’t do enough to win Best Actress.” This is one of the most original roles I’ve ever…

I’ve been obsessed with the editing in Everything Everywhere All at Once since I first saw the film last spring, so it was a DREAM come true to talk with editor (and Critics Choice Award winner!) Paul Rogers and his team about how they pulled this project off.

Everything Everywhere All At Once is… unlike anything I have ever seen. At its core, all the absurdity aside, it’s a rich and rousing reminder of all that cinema can be and all it can do, making you believe in movie magic again as it tears your heart to pieces and puts it back together, in even better shape than before.

1987

★★½ Watched

Getting back into my Best Picture marathon and... this was somewhat of a rough start 🥴

The Last Emperor certainly isn’t bad by any stretch of the imagination, but in spite of all its elegance, it just left me feeling... empty? I tend to be hit-or-miss with epics (for every Gone with the Wind there’s an English Patient), and this one just didn’t feel like it had the substance to match its sumptuous style. Paints its protagonist with too broad a brush, IMO.

Oh well, onto the next.
