I am in a group chat dedicated to doing the daily movie quizzes for both Vulture and moviegrid.io and now when I watch stupid movies like Date Night i’m like, “Okay Grace…don’t forget Mark Ruffalo is randomly in this movie…that could get you major points…” and so I commit that to memory and my brain goes, “We can only fit the Mark Ruffalo thing in here if we make her forget that she still hasn’t done her taxes yet this year.”

A Woman Under the Influence 1974
I’ve never seen another movie like A Woman Under the Influence in my life and I doubt I ever will. A story that dares to take its time but earns every moment portrayed on the screen. A movie I hesitate to even write about because I’d almost prefer to sprinkle little reflections of its impact on me in my own creative work. We walked to a bar afterwards and later realized it was the same bar Mabel visits in the first act!

The Stepford Wives 2004
Something happened to me in January.... physically...spiritually...when I watched both Birth and Dogville in the span of 24 hours. Two of the bravest on-screen performances I've ever seen — from a single actress! I now practically leap to my feet at the AMC intro. I'm fully Kidman-pilled.
And you know what? Stepford Wives is a mess of a movie but she's GREAT in it. I now believe you could put Kidman in a movie with ANY tone and she'd knock it out of the park. Frank Oz could have camped this up by 40% and she still would have nailed it.
