Just saw Hamlet starring Patrick Ball #ThePitt (Obviously had to battle through the warzone that is DTLA to get there 🙄)

Me and the boys walked to the donut shop to get their Dad a beautiful father's day treat. A donut that says: Love Dad in red icing - what could possibly go wrong On the walk home, my youngest quietly said: "um, Dad's donut looks like a crime scene" loooool

been on a run of watching Hitchcock classics (Rear Window, Vertigo, North By Northwest) and it's almost painful to observe the level of thematic and aesthetic sophistication that pop culture aspired to (let alone achieved) at the peak of the midcentury High Modernist moment

Benedict Cumberbatch in The Phoenician Scheme:

"If you make the brave decision to strap yourself onto the giant inflatable banana, Monkey will take you on the ride of your life."

British people are probably familiar with comedienne and ventriloquist Nina Conti, but I don't think she's known in the US. But she's now made a buddy comedy movie that features a classic American road trip...and a giant Monkey 🐵 I liked it! 🍌

This is such a good film. Just ordered my copy!

MJ’s @silberwhatever.com says, “While all of his films could be described as satire–Scheme is the most overtly comedic effort since Moonrise Kingdom–rarely have Anderson’s targets felt so immediate.” THE PHOENICIAN SCHEME is now in theaters. #ThePhoenicianScheme #NowPlaying

Oh Jason Schwartzman has certainly piqued my interest 👀

Revisiting Pride (2014) and The Riot Club (2014) as I often do, and once again wondering what happened to Ben Schnetzer's career - he showed massive range in just these two films!
