THE BURIAL OF KOJO. One of the most visually stunning films I’ve seen in a while. Hell of a thing to watch in the predawn hours

My stepdad JP died yesterday. Meditating on it, he’s largely responsible for my taste in movies and books. He saw no issues with me watching The Shining or Casino w/ him when I was like 7. I was so young when he and my mom started dating that I don’t have memories from before he was in my life… RIP

“Every scene had the visceral sense of watching actual people photographed doing actual things with sets and props that had been physically sawn and glued into place…” Hmm… I, for one, like when a movie looks like a movie!

I finally have Kanopy again 🥲 If you live in Texas and your public library system doesn’t partner with Kanopy (like Dallas), you can use your Texas driver license to apply for an eCard with the Houston Public Library and then sign in to Kanopy with that! A Dallas librarian tipped me off 🙏🏼
