I'm very grateful that I have almost a week's break between my second viewings of Macbeth and Revenant. Also my third viewing of Joy.

awards season, amirite

ohhh how was it?

#alliedproblems

It's fun! Not as comedic as some of his others, but not as dramatic as Fighter either. Somewhere in between. Strangely I liked it a lot more the second time, haha.

That's kind of how I felt about American Hustle too, actually. Once to get over expectations and get the story, then a second time to actually enjoy the performances and subtleties.

It's a little uneven and not quite as good as I was hoping, tbh, but still a great movie. I just wanted more comedy out of it.

I still don't know how to feel about his obsession with Jennifer Lawrence playing roles she's honestly a bit too young to play.

I think she's old enough to play these roles most of the time, but it's incongruous to see her playing a 17-year-old and a 30-year-old in the same month.

she's a highlander. THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE it-girl actress and she must meet all related media demands.

I admit she looks a little young but I feel like she's a strong enough actress that she pulls it off and I don't mind it.

Tbh I'd rather see Jennifer Lawrence playing a 35-year-old than someone like Cameron Diaz or Kirsten Dunst take the role. :|

Also David O'Russell is fucking crazy and a jackass. So there's that.

I couldn't get over how young she looked in Silver Linings Playbook. It really messed with the suspension of disbelief.

But yeah, David O Russell is a total jackass. Did you see his comments about equal pay for women in Hollywood?

No. Link? I had a friend who worked with him tell me stories, haha. He's awful.

(Which is to say, I wonder how many actors will deal with him, let alone repeatedly.)
