Your review of Superman is ultra fair, but it didn’t get there for me. Those extra pieces cluttered it, and it all felt aggressively fine…but I’m totally with you on Cornenswet. The guy was great here, perfect for the aw shucks optimism Gunn sought, and your line about Cavill but with extra eye life is spot on. Most of the performances were solid, but he stood out, getting me on board with a character I’ve always rolled my eyes at.
Even if I didn’t love the cohesive whole, I appreciated the parts and what was being done here. I enjoyed reading your response and relegislating my own in contrast.
That cow photo feels like it could itself be a massive book. I’m sure I’ve left unexpected oddities in donated books before, but never as mesmerizing a trinket as that cow…
Totally fair, I think I went in with low-ish expectations because I’m not classically a superhero movie girl so the clutter didn’t bug me too much. And I agree the cow photo deserves a novel of its own
adding The Nix to my TBR! and i’m even more excited to watch Too Much after reading your review, but i’m worried i’m too close to my own breakup to dive into it 😵💫 still very glad to have it to look forward to once i’m sane again!!

Thank youuuu for this book rec! and yes I am dramatically squeezing my eyes shut as I scroll past your Too Much section until I can watch and chime in
Can’t wait for your thoughts
I’m always rooting for my man Skyler Gisondo! Also I too was kind of blown away but that cash app ad before Superman.
I kind of want a feature length version of that ad

I don’t have a comparable breakup and it still hurt me physically so that’s incredibly fair
