Same here. Loving Vincent is one of my favorite scores, Mansell has never missed in my eyes.

Scott Derrickson's Black Phone 2.

Kogonada's A Big Bold Beautiful Journey. With Margot Robbie, Colin Farrell, Jodie Turner-Smith, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Lily Rabe, Hamish Linklater, and a fuckton of trepidation.

Bill Condon's Kiss of the Spider Woman. With J. Lo, Diego Luna, Tonatiuh.

Luc Besson's Francis Ford Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula.

Double feature from hell. I wish Bill Condon would stop ruin musicals and the latest Luc Besson abomination looks like all my least favourite Dracula adaptations rolled into one.

Based on a novel and a Tony-award winning musical... yes, and the YouTube description seems very eager to not mention
a certain 1985 Academy Award winning film...

Because they have rights to the original story and not the re-worked screenplay? I can't remember how the hostility between Puig and the original film played out -- there was a pretty extensive doc on the DVD release (as well as a featurette promoting the then-new musical) -- but perhaps the estate didn't want to emphasize Babenco's film either?

I liked the novel but I’ve never been a fan of the film or of Hurt’s performance, which almost makes a case that straight actors shouldn’t play gay characters (a view I don’t subscribe to). And I‘m not sure the film still is much in the cultural memory.

William Hurt is okay, but I think Raul Julia is excellent in it.

Luis Ortega's Kill the Jockey.

I actually think Springsteen is great and Nebraska is the best album he's ever done, but the narration plays right into the Dave Marsh/Jon Landau mythologizing that's really off-putting. (As admirable as his actions may be, Springsteen is not exactly the only rock star or public figure to confront their personal struggles while trying to use their work and fame to make the world a better place.) But if the lines are coming from the character of Jon Landau, maybe the film will be self-aware about this?

it's been almost a decade since Derek Cianfrance directed a feature. Roofman, with Tatum, Dunst, Stanfield, Dinklage.

Mercedes Bryce Morgan's Bone Lake. (NSFW. TW: Flossing.)
