    It is kinda serious, you know, with the brothers dying one after the other, but I'm pretty sure Ridley will give it a light-hearted approach.

    And with the Russo brothers (Winter Soldier, Civil War, Endgame) sitting comfortably in Netflix's chair, I don't see that quality return any time soon.

    Hm. Originally, I was late to the MCU party. Which meant, most of the movies of phase 1, 2 and 3 I saw when they were already available on disc. So, I watched most of them in a fairly short time. And I loved it.
    So, I would say, they did not kill my interest through volume. I can handle volume like I did with phases 1-3. But they recently killed my interest through bad movies and lame tv shows.
    Not quantity, quality is the issue.

    Aaaaw, sorry to hear it. But he was in a very frail state last time I saw him, so I knew he didn't have long. It's somehow comforting to know that he and Williams managed to meet one last time, when he did the concerts in Japan last year.

    About Peter Weir's retirement:
     
    "I think Peter Weir lost interest in movies. He really enjoyed that work when he didn't have actors giving him a hard time. Russell Crowe and Johnny Depp broke him." - Ethan Hawke.
     
     
     
    Yeah, not everything they touched turned into gold.

    Some thoughts on a couple of films I watched recently:
     
    The Zone of Interest
    One of the most disturbing films from last year, because of how sick it makes you feel, while not showing you nothing at all, That's where it shines the most, in the way it constructs the story and we get to see the ordinary lives of these people, making us almost connect and empathize with them. But the genius of the film lies in the way it uses sound to constantly remind us of the truth behind this beautiful and idyllic facade, and that makes it really scary and frightening. Great photography and great acting all around. I felt the film went on for a bit too long, and there are a couple of "abstract / dreamy" sequences that I don't really know if work well with the rest of the film, but overall, a very solid and thought provoking film.
     
    Killers of the Flower Moon
    The film is really long, but Scorsese's direction never lets you feel bored or disinterested, and it's constantly moving the narrative forward, supported by a brilliant cast. The story is complex and full of nuance, and offers a poignant reflection on the corruption and greed of these white men that led to the murder of many people who were just trying to live in peace in their own land. DiCaprio is great, as is DeNiro, both portraying their characters' double-faced intentions with ease, but who impressed me the most was Lily Gladstone. She embodies all the suffering and pain of the Osage, and you can feel this just by looking at her eyes, full of sorrow and anger. She is subtle when she needs to be, but I also love the scenes she shares with DiCaprio, where she stands her ground with ease. She's definitely an actress to keep an eye on. I wish the film had focused a bit more on the Osage people, on Molly and her relationship with her sisters, but the way its told, it feels more authentic and frustrating, just like reality.
     
    Asteroid City
    If you like Wes Anderson, you'll like this one. If you hate Wes Anderson, you'll hate this one. I'm usually a fan of his style, and this movie sees him take another step forward into the distillation of his particular style. The visuals and set designs are top notch, the cast is full of recognizable faces that all offer great, profound and memorable performances, however short they might be, and the story is as quirky and melancholic as with any of his movies. Actually, I felt this movie had more emotional depth than for example, The French Dispatch, and while not all of it works, it pays off greatly in a third act that is both unexpected and emotionally captivating. Desplat's brief score works brilliantly within the film too!

    I never was able to watch this movie in its entirety. I'm allergic to the macho 'Tony Scott' tone of the movie. 
     
     
    Give All The Money In The World a shot. In my humble opinion, it's better than all of these. It has a similar Thelma & Louise kind of storytelling (serious subject but told in an almost lighthearted manner).
