Eddington
i’ll eat crow, i was wrong, this is a masterpiece
i totally bought the bait before and felt disappointed that all these story threads aren’t connected, but now i see aster tricked me into thinking like a conspiracy theorist, i was being manipulated
emma stone is deliberately underused because joe can’t get close to her
it’s not about nothing, it’s about the futility of the culture war when tech companies are robbing us blind, manipulating us, taking advantage of our fears, and emasculating us the way joe is constantly emasculated in this film
sorry for doubting you ari you’re the man
(1st day of AFI screening + q&a 🍻)
