Two movies watched this weekend:
- Madame Web is even worse than I was lead to believe it would be. I can't begin to imagine what happened there. It seems to have started off as a really bad idea for a movie, and gone rapidly downhill from there.
- Marty Supreme, on the other hand, may well be a masterpiece. It's the best-directed movie I have seen in ages, the script is fantastic, it's beautifully shot, the music is great, every member of the supporting cast is excellent and Timothée Chalamet proves, once again, that he deserves every accolade he receives.
Enjoy Monday.
