“add up two plus two”

How’s about this for a double-bill:

Maria and Being the Ricardos, in my mind possibly the best performances thus far of Jolie and Kidman. The latter film pitch perfect. Pablo Larrain’s Callas, of course moments utter beauty, but so needs some madness. Spencer somewhat of a masterpiece. Dear Diana never deluded. Callas needs some Werner Schroeter, little extant except for some Norma commentary. His films hard to find.

Can’t imagine ya ‘all watching Mubi movies to enrich your soul: great little short The Fall by Jonathan ‘The Zone of Interest’ Glazer [just expired]. How’s about Keira Knightley’s Black Doves, like no she didn’t write or direct it, a very nice non-tortured life being just an actress. What’s with these Americans? 

Black Doves seems a slow very interesting burn. Ep 2 kicks in…like Keira’s desperate…comm’on…well, if not there’s always Gladiator 2 that fact finding documentary into Roman life hard to imagine any different from our own:(

Was it three glasses though? Actually Keira it was 7, a hit, but who knew he had an illegitimate sober dictator. So there we are! O were. Kids by the lake. ……

I have no idea where we’re going, just hop aboard strange creature!
