Ngl. The Kirkland rosé Prosecco hits above its weight. Pretty tasty for $7.99 a bottle!

dawnddurante.bsky.social•67 days ago

Kirkland. Spending the big bucks. 🫢

janjt.bsky.social•67 days ago

With you, sister. 2024 can slide right on out of here. Deep breath, here comes 2025. More prosecco please.

mollyehsmith.bsky.social•67 days ago

I don’t know you but this is perfect

kiwisnowy.bsky.social•67 days ago

Was it just me or was 2024 the year of Prosecco? Was I just late to the party?

oliviawaite.com•67 days ago

Isabella Rosselini’s “fuck you” curtsey made me say “holy shit” right out loud!

clairewillett.bsky.social•67 days ago

SHE WAS SO GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ninalewis.bsky.social•67 days ago

She was. But I wish Berger had given her a couple more scenes to kick ass in.

baseliner.bsky.social•67 days ago

Nice shift !!!

pappy725.bsky.social•67 days ago

Amen sister!!

aftonnelson.bsky.social•67 days ago

I need to see this. (Conclave.)

thefluffernutter.bsky.social•67 days ago

Loved Conclave! Of course I thought it was an odd choice not to have subtitles, until I finally figured out it was a setting on my Apple TV. Spent the first watch leaning on my high school Spanish and one college semester of Italian trying to figure out what the hell they were saying

thefluffernutter.bsky.social•67 days ago

Loved it even more on the second watch with the subtitles on! 😂

pentictonpal.bsky.social•67 days ago

Did you like the movie, I saw it is on Peacock now.tome for a neighborhood watch party.

karlykingsley.bsky.social•67 days ago

💙💙💙💙

archivist1001.bsky.social•67 days ago

Worse thing is, a year from now, 2024 will seem like 'the good times'

iangertler.bsky.social•67 days ago

Can't argue about your opinion of 2024 ... a tough one, but hopefully a very #HappyNewYear ahead in 2025.

As for chocolate, Claire ... 🍫👇🤔

tracynovick.bsky.social•67 days ago

Oh so glad you are watching it!

magicmel.bsky.social•67 days ago

Amen to that!

stephhicks.bsky.social•67 days ago

Yeah, 2024… don’t let the door hit you in the way out!

carolanxious.bsky.social•67 days ago

God that book and movie really did it for me this year, it’s what I wished Da Vinci Code had been.

teejit.bsky.social•67 days ago

HARD APPROVE

bjapriesonyx.bsky.social•67 days ago

Conclave was great,!!

hiann.bsky.social•67 days ago

What did you think of the ending? I didn't see that coming.

parallaxdreams.bsky.social•67 days ago

It was also foreshadowed, I thought, in portraying (and stereotyping) the exceptional love, kindness, and self-sacrifice … and that made me mad (the stereotype). I can’t go into more details because I’m not looking to add any spoilers.

hiann.bsky.social•67 days ago

I hadn't thought about it, but you are probably right. Pretty well done.

tincols.bsky.social•67 days ago

Conclave....I didn't have that on my recovering catholic bingo card. Superb movie.

jyypdx.bsky.social•67 days ago

Saw Conclave at Cinema 21 with a friend and fellow St. Andrew parishioner. Will be drinking Kirkland Signature Prosecco later. Happy New Year.

terriblenachos.bsky.social•67 days ago

I did not expect a papal thriller to be such an absolute banger!

mangetout.bsky.social•67 days ago

Papal mafia > PayPal mafia

upsidedown25.bsky.social•67 days ago

They’re all billionaires, homie

mangetout.bsky.social•67 days ago

More interesting isn't the same as better.

seenadsgo.bsky.social•67 days ago

Ooh, we’re getting our Kirkland Rosé on right now too!

Wild night in with the parents.

No complaints.

thegreatmoonhound.bsky.social•67 days ago

The surest sign of 2024 being the most massive cunt can be summed up watching trumps anus mouth pronouncing Huge, as Yuge. Pretty much sums up who he is/maga is/this fucked up timeline. A complete fucking anus speaks from his fucking anus of a mouth. Glad you’re fucking gone 2024. 2025 suck my ass.

qckslvr.bsky.social•67 days ago

If my cat could draw it’d look a bit like this I’m thinking

thegreatmoonhound.bsky.social•67 days ago

Lmfaooooo

drzgoo.bsky.social•67 days ago

We had Boston Crème Donuts with ours. Excellent

conductress.bsky.social•67 days ago

Omfg *chef's kiss*

nicosuave.bsky.social•67 days ago

That Prosecco is weirdly good though.

coloradodgg.bsky.social•67 days ago

Every Kirkland wine I have tried has been good. Cheap too.

onward-forward.bsky.social•67 days ago

conclave is KILLERRRRR

pelezi.bsky.social•67 days ago

I had planned on calling 2024 the worst year of my life but, with your permission, I'll now be calling it Huge Bitch or Huge Fucking Bitch, depending on who I'm talking to.

shylo.bsky.social•67 days ago

Ralph Fiennes breathes too loud!

shashi1121.bsky.social•67 days ago

We watched that tonight too and thought “Welp - sums up 2024 pretty well”!

jcorv06.bsky.social•67 days ago

Ralph Fiennes was incredible in that role, too

shashi1121.bsky.social•67 days ago

He was SO good. I did not see that ending coming but whoa - did it make sense!

jcorv06.bsky.social•67 days ago

Yeah! Very interesting, subtle subterfuse! So many layers...

skelekate.bsky.social•67 days ago

Have you seen The Two Popes? It’s become an almost yearly rewatch for me.

squizzradical.bsky.social•67 days ago

I loved “Conclave.” :)

alphamare.bsky.social•67 days ago

Sangiovese and chocolate here

danceswithpugs.bsky.social•67 days ago

I’ve heard wonderful things about Conclave! That’s on my watch list soon.

wrongbottom.bsky.social•67 days ago

It's good.

thesnowman21.bsky.social•67 days ago

Me and the wife have had a few bottle of Kirkland Signature Rosé Prosecco tonight.

ukusa69.bsky.social•67 days ago

Own it👍🏾😄

pnwkat.bsky.social•67 days ago

You’re lucky to have had the rosé Prosecco!

robinrae.bsky.social•67 days ago

Very respectable. 👍🏼✌🏼

brettmbowland.bsky.social•67 days ago

Conclave wasn’t just Oscar bait. It’s legit.

fragilewife.bsky.social•67 days ago

i watched it tonight too!

mikaelaskyesays.bsky.social•67 days ago

Conclave was an enjoyable movie

furiosalizabeth.bsky.social•67 days ago

that Prosecco is a stunning value!! (The non-rosé one too!)

chukkllz.bsky.social•67 days ago

https://gofund.me/8d8708cd

Moonshine and cigarettes for me. But, my 2024 ended in homelessness...

justinebayarea.bsky.social•67 days ago

lol. Sounds like a great NYE!

I was halfway through my second episode of a true crime show before I remembered it was NYE. Then I fell asleep only to be jarred awake by neighbors setting off fireworks. Assholes.

kayleykiwi.bsky.social•67 days ago

Feel this in my core

craigbruce68.bsky.social•67 days ago

I have the same bottle right now!

It’s not that good.

jennabelinda.bsky.social•67 days ago

Gasp Kirkland can do no wrong
…though I’m in deep on a proper bottle of LaMarca and well ok yes it’s def lots of YESSSS
Cheers! 🥂

craigbruce68.bsky.social•67 days ago

Kirkland is actually pretty good.

But that prosciutto…

And Happy New Year! Cheers! 🥂

bigbunnymomma.bsky.social•67 days ago

Great for Aperol Spritzes tho.

craigbruce68.bsky.social•67 days ago

I’ll have to try that! In a few hours…

lindaraesa.bsky.social•67 days ago

I thought this would be a better pairing.

ladydeirdre.bsky.social•67 days ago

That bottle is far too small. If you hit 2024 over the head with it, it might not die.

dogs22bestfriend.bsky.social•67 days ago

My favorite prosecco

ttaylor36.bsky.social•67 days ago

I too have switched to chocolate mode. Wishing I had a bottle of red wine to go with it. Happy New Year….(almost).

blue-fire1.bsky.social•67 days ago

Isn't that great?

pteridoid.bsky.social•67 days ago

"have shifted gears from Cheese Mode to Chocolate Mode"

this is real

sertorius84.bsky.social•67 days ago

Here here

diannalgunn.bsky.social•67 days ago

When I say RIP 2024 I want it to be made very clear that the P stands for Piss

Fuck that shitty assfuck year

travelinshooz.bsky.social•67 days ago

Hey, we drank the same beverage tonight. Cheers!

mlorette.bsky.social•67 days ago

Prosecco is gettin' me there

maranovak.bsky.social•67 days ago

Ah that’s what we watched too!

billhayden65.bsky.social•67 days ago

I think I'm going to have to watch this.

linwetzel.bsky.social•67 days ago

Be THANKFUL that you didn't get the new Kirkland Red Blend. No taste, hard to swallow, and a huge headache after 2 glasses. Back to the basic box blends.

clairewillett.bsky.social•67 days ago

OKAY “CONCLAVE” FUCKING SLAPS

Danny Lavery described it as a god-tier Process and Paperwork movie which it absolutely was, and also I love any movie where every singly character you care about is old enough to have to whip out their glasses before leaning in to read anything

gnol7.bsky.social•67 days ago

I was very sad when the cardinal from Africa had to decline because of something he had done 30 years before but extremely glad when Pope Innocent came in

jbplantagenet.bsky.social•60 days ago

To me the amazing thing is that the guy who played the Cardinal who eventually became Pope had never acted in a major production before. He was an architect who took some online type classes after his kids left home.

jbplantagenet.bsky.social•60 days ago

Looks like he had only acted in two shorts before Conclave. Guy either has the worst agent in history or the best one.

pattifw.bsky.social•67 days ago

and somehow Tucci is still exuding sex appeal throughout

gothamgirlblue.com•67 days ago

Aahhhhhh I experienced this last week and thought of you!!!!!

clairewillett.bsky.social•67 days ago

I WISH POPE [redacted for spoilers] WAS REAL

gothamgirlblue.com•67 days ago

AND THE NAME CHOSEN WAS SO PERFECT AHHHHH

kateavallone.bsky.social•65 days ago

Just *chef’s kiss*

clairewillett.bsky.social•67 days ago

ICONIC ACTUALLY

rszasz.bsky.social•67 days ago

Hmm, Pope Sedenti the first is overdue. (No idea what character you are referring too, just thinking aloud)

kateavallone.bsky.social•65 days ago

SAME.

sosomanysarahs.bsky.social•67 days ago

The reading glasses test is also a good way to end up with a movie with masterclass tier acting, and I think Conclave delivered there too.

hearing-girl.bsky.social•67 days ago

And the *business* they got to do with the glasses! and the choice of glasses for each character! just so much glasses-related excellence!!

jchexmix.bsky.social•67 days ago

What are other Process and Paperwork movies? That seems like a genre made for me

bethlowder.bsky.social•67 days ago

Dark Waters is excellent!

michaeldobkins.bsky.social•67 days ago

Ikuru?

erinjoy.bsky.social•67 days ago

The Report was shockingly gripping!

bluegirlpdx.bsky.social•67 days ago

Love love love this. Just Mercy is definitely one but whooooo get your tissues ready.

ebharrington.bsky.social•60 days ago

Stanley Kubrick's "Dr. Strangelove" is the best film ever made about bureaucracy, followed by Terry Gilliam's "Brazil."

kateavallone.bsky.social•65 days ago

SPOTLIGHT is one that comes immediately to mind. MICHAEL CLAYTON, too, maybe?

jacobtaber.bsky.social•67 days ago

Ending felt forced 🤷🏻‍♂️

clairewillett.bsky.social•67 days ago

I give this movie five out of five absurd hats

dpjs1958.bsky.social•67 days ago

Loved it!!!

clairewillett.bsky.social•67 days ago

Conclave is such a “made in 2024” Catholicism movie but it somehow has the vibe of like a 1970s Catholicism movie

I was all ready to believe that John Lithgow murdered the pope or some shit, but he totally didn’t! all the villains were just small, greedy, arrogant, believably power-hungry men

carolanxious.bsky.social•67 days ago

I kept swapping between “ok he murdered him” and “ok so they are gay together?” for like everyone but nope, just everyone absolutely high on themselves to an absolutely horrifyingly believable degree. Also the Venetian and his vape killed me outright; it’s cigars in the book and the vape was better.

gothamgirlblue.com•67 days ago

I loved the righteous indignation of each of them as they get caught wanting and grasping and then acting like the real problem is that they weren’t allowed to have it in spite of their obvious sins

noplot.bsky.social•67 days ago

It made me think at times of Andrew Greeley's book "The Making of the Popes 1978", which examines those two conclaves. A couple of the main characters made me think of leading contenders in the actual second 1978 conclave (but not the eventual winner).

daviddaniel.bsky.social•67 days ago

Conclave and September 5 are two of my favorite movies of 2024 that criminally few people have seen.

kymbol.bsky.social•60 days ago

Just like real life?

clairewillett.bsky.social•67 days ago

I died when one of the cardinals lists off all the worst things past popes have done and goes “we literally had one who was in the Hitler Youth” and I couldn’t believe they fuckin said it bc the Benedict stans used to get SOOOOOOO MAD and would “well actually” you to death about it

conductress.bsky.social•67 days ago

Every post above this convinced me to watch it, but this made me know I would *enjoy* watching it

clairewillett.bsky.social•67 days ago

this is the post that made ME realize I would enjoy watching it

blopeep.bsky.social•67 days ago

My big issue here is that there are clearly TWO books called “Conclave”. The one used for the movie and an earlier one that I read back in the early aughts. I am woefully confused by this and wonder how much they share.

Jeffrey (?) Tobin is the author I know. He wrote a sequel called “Conclave”

edwalker.bsky.social•67 days ago

tried to like this twice. failed.

clairewillett.bsky.social•67 days ago

“he was forcibly conscripted it was like the Boy Scouts they’d punish you if you DIDN’T join he came from an anti-Nazi family also he deserted the German army also he was absolved later by many Jewish leaders!!!!” listen. many, perhaps all, of those things may be true. it’s still REALLY, REALLY BAD
