To complement the weather outside, we just watched "Arctic" (2018) on Netflix.

Really good, intense survival story. Mads Mikkelsen does a great job battling a frozen hellscape in scary, grueling, rime-chipping detail.

But I couldn't help laughing at something supposed to be serious.

The expression on Mads' face when he gets his hands warm for like a minute for the first time since forever…

Worst movie I saw in a theater?

Well, I fell asleep during Last Tango in Paris.

However since I'd been up for 2 days and had just moved all my stuff into a new apartment five flights up with a broken elevator in a heat wave, this may not count.

So Shallow Hal.

#cinedimanche #cinedon J'ai mal lu un horaire de séance et j'ai dû quitter #Babylon avant la fin pour ne pas rater un train. Qui aurait la gentillesse de me raconter la fin?

Je me suis arrêtée à Manny qui dit à Fai Zu qu'elle doit disparaître pour ne pas faire de tort à Nellie.

No worries! Pronunciation was a major portion of the post. And of course linguistics is a deep well of fascination.

You may be ahead of me here, but if not: do you know about Erik Singer? He coaches actors in accents and dialects; through the years has made several of these Youtube videos about the subject. Wonderful stuff.

This may be his first, from 6 years ago:

J'ai bien apprécié voir Avatar 2, autant visuellement que musicalement. Il y a de très belles scènes ds l'eau, et c'est très agréable à voir.
Mais j'ai un regret majeur quant au scénario, irréaliste et incohérent. Beaucoup trop caricatural (ds les dialogues par ex), il tombe dans les topoï des films d'action américains. C'est très regrettable, et j'ai été déçu sur ce point.
Ce n'est bien sûr que mon avis perso, je suis ouvert au débat 😇

Wow. #Corsage. What a brilliant #film for NYE. Just became my fave film of the year. Joy. Sorrow. Companionship. Loneliness. Constraint. Freedom. Superb acting and filming. And a great soundtrack. #movies #cinedon

I loved The Banshees of Inisherin. But then afterwards, I read some commentary and watched interview clips.

I’d thought myself a fecking sharp like cineaste, awful good at catching whatever small touches a moviemaker might put in. There goes that dream.

[Sigh.] Turns out you should watch for the rainbow, and the picture of Jesus.
