Boy was that a wild ride.

I enjoyed it, but there aren’t many people I’d recommend it to.

Last weekend one of the coolest movie experiences I’ve ever had — Jaws played at Lincoln Center in the symphony hall, with the NY Philharmonic playing the score along with the movie.

They of course made the legendary John Williams score pop like never before. Despite pretty much the whole audience having seen the movie many times, the percussions and tubas made the jump-scares electric and got me and everyone just about every time. Amazing experience.

Here’s an online photo I found of them doing Empire Strikes Back another time.

My wife and I saw the Winston Salem Symphony playing the Jurassic Park score along with the movie last weekend. It was a great experience as well.
 
Man. Regarding Megalopolis, no way can I think of one single movie, but I saw moments and pieces of The Fountainhead, Caligula, Star Wars movies, several Fellini movies, Bergman, Baz Luhrmann, lots of direct references to Emerson, Shakespeare, Rousseau… and probably a dozen others the more I think about it and read reviews.

But it’s a LOT.

Caligula? There’s porn in it?
 
Conclave looks like it will be a killer movie for the ages, and Tom Hanks' latest 'Here' may be yet another hit for the acclaimed actor.
 
I saw Adam Driver in a play the other night, 5 rows back dead center. That guy’s physicality is astonishing. You get a hint of it onscreen, but in person it’s unlike any actor I’ve ever seen. He moves like a gorilla, but the way that gorillas move smoothly and effortlessly with a forceful grace.

Combined with his talent and training, he’s really the best we have going in that 40 and under generation. And he’s in the conversation as the best around, period.

Seeing him in that play convinced me he has potential to be an all timer on the Brando, De Niro, Daniel Day-Lewis level.

Has anyone else seen Conclave? I watched it this weekend and really enjoyed it. I'd say it's a strong Oscar contender for Best Picture and Actor for Fiennes for sure, but possibly also Director, Supporting Actor for Tucci, Supporting Actress for Rossellini, Score, Adapted Screenplay, etc.

That looks pretty good.
