And what do you plan to do if this whole dream thing of yours doesn't work out? That doesn't even enter my consciousness. First cinema experience of 2026! I know, it's like I've been away forever. The movie itself is fantastic, one of the most exhilarating all-gas-no-breaks cinematic experiences you'll have in your life bolstered by a truly award-worthy performance from the untouchable Timothée Chalamet – but honestly, I think I may wait for a rewatch to write more cohesive thoughts on the film itself. I want to talk more about the atmosphere surrounding the film. I was grinning like an asshole as I left my seat. Everywhere around me I felt an incredible electricity, the whole audience pumped up, fervidly talking about how much they loved this movie. This is a level of excitement about an original film that I've never quite seen before. Sure, I saw great films like One Battle After Another, Sentimental Value and Hamnet with packed crowds, but there was not nearly the same level of energy in the room. It was palpable from when I first entered the cinema 30 minutes before showtime. The line kept piling up and piling up, and I felt that buzz about the film before most of the audience was even sat down for the pre roll. This moment is probably the most hope I've felt for the state of original cinema in forever. People coming out in droves for a movie about a PING PONG star of all things, whether it be for Timothée's relentless online marketing and cultural takeover, for a fandom of Tyler the Creator, Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A'zion, the massive level of word of mouth, whatever. There's people who barely watch films in the cinema who were telling me about how much they want to see this film. Palace Cinemas created a second screening literally the last night and it STILL filled up. An incredible moment at the movies. I hope this manifests into a proper trend and that it's not simply lightning in a bottle. You go out and win that game, you're gonna be here forever too. And you'll never be happy. You will never be happy.
