So in the last 48 hrs I saw the new Star Wars flick (some cool scenes linked by a kind of boring plot), the Killing of Sacred Deer (excellently cool and creepy and just weird in a way I love but hesitate to recommend to people, if you liked the Lobster you'll probably like this) and 3 Billboard Outside Ebbing Missouri which I would like to proselytize for now.

I almost didn't see this film because I thought it would be too much of a bummer and I'm so glad I changed my mind. It *is* super dark, and it tackles serious issues fairly frankly but it is also hilarious. I didn't realise until afterwards that the writer director also made In Bruges. Billboards doesn't have that film's surrealism but it's got humour in spades. Highly, highly recommended.

I think the US equivalent is steak sauce.

Sometimes that's a pretty good film.

Dude I love those films.

tbh I had a pretty mediocre birthday. Went to work, ate leftover cake, spent too much time moping and looking at twitter. Then my two friends who are roommates in Texas video-chatted me. Now I'm going to bed smiling. Sometimes modern technology is PRETTY GREAT.

(it is not like I was expecting rapturous birthday celebration, just feelin some big city alienation lately)

Don't worry, I've seen this film, the first act lonely birthday alienation is just before the meet cute.

Glad you wrung some joy out of it via the modern age.

Ideally we should all meet at Onstad's deathbed.

Today my fear was confirmed: a man accosted my coworkers and chased them away because he was convinced they were taking notes about where immigrants live for President Trump.  Yeesh.

Is it a gubmint job? Are they technically correct?

Come on man, the correct thread title is "F-F-FFFUCK cunt-ass shit zones what ain't safe!"

Victoria is usually correct.
